Metaplanet Acquires an Additional 1,005 Bitcoin, Ranks in Top 5

Metaplanet is making headlines as it continues to acquire an additional 1,005 Bitcoin at an average price of $107,601 per BTC. To date, Metaplanet holds a total of 13,350 BTC, equivalent to approximately $1.44 billion at current market prices.

This ongoing accumulation of BTC has allowed Metaplanet to surpass Galaxy Digital (12,830 BTC) and CleanSpark (12,502 BTC), officially rising to the fifth position on the list of publicly traded companies with the most Bitcoin holdings in the world, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.net.

In just three months, Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin holdings from 3,350 to 13,350 BTC—a remarkable pace with an additional 10,000 BTC.

Alongside the Bitcoin purchase, Metaplanet announced this morning the issuance of a zero-interest corporate bond worth 30 billion yen (approximately $208 million), maturing on December 29, 2025. Part of the raised capital will be used to buy back and cancel old bonds issued since November 2024, while the remainder will continue to be invested in accumulating more Bitcoin.

The strategy of debt restructuring combined with aggressive investment in Bitcoin indicates that Metaplanet is following a path similar to that pioneered by MicroStrategy, but with stronger speed and determination than ever before. This move not only strengthens Metaplanet’s position in the financial market but also heats up the competition for Bitcoin accumulation among global enterprises.
