Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has officially crossed the 10,000 Bitcoin mark following a fresh acquisition of 1,112 BTC, marking a key milestone in its long-term crypto accumulation strategy. The purchase, valued at approximately $117.2 million, was executed at an average price of $105,435 per BTC.
The announcement came via CEO Simon Gerovich, who shared the news on X, noting that the company has now fulfilled its 2025 goal for Bitcoin accumulation—well ahead of schedule. This bold move not only highlights Metaplanet’s growing conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term value but also places it ahead of several major corporate holders, including Coinbase, in terms of total BTC reserves.
To support its expansion into digital assets, the firm also rolled out its 18th bond series, aiming to raise $210 million—capital that will be directed entirely toward further Bitcoin purchases. In the company’s own words:
“The funds raised are scheduled to be allocated toward the purchase of Bitcoin.”
Investor excitement was clear. Metaplanet’s stock surged by 22% in response to the announcement, reaching 1,830 yen per share. Over the past month, its share price has risen by nearly 200%, reflecting growing confidence in the firm’s aggressive Bitcoin-centric strategy.
With this latest buy, Metaplanet has now overtaken Coinbase Global in total BTC held—Coinbase reportedly holds around 9,267 BTC. The firm has also unveiled plans for a $5.4 billion equity offering, aiming to issue over 550 million new shares within the next two years, all in service of expanding its Bitcoin treasury.
Earlier, Metaplanet made headlines with two major buys—1,004 Bitcoin on May 19 and another 1,088 BTC on June 2—bringing its total holdings to 8,888 before this week’s announcement. According to Gerovich, the strategy is already paying off: the company is up 266% year-to-date in 2025, largely thanks to its early and consistent commitment to Bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s ambition doesn’t stop here. The company has outlined even bigger goals: acquiring 100,000 BTC by 2026, and more than doubling that target to 210,000 by 2027. With Bitcoin at the center of its vision, Metaplanet is rapidly positioning itself as one of the most aggressive institutional players in the crypto market.
