Tokyo-listed investment company Metaplanet recently disclosed it has acquired an additional 1,241 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately 18.4 billion yen (around $126 million). This purchase elevates their overall BTC holdings to 6,796.

This recent acquisition places Metaplanet above El Salvador’s total BTC reserves, which currently stand at 6,174 BTC. The latest purchase marks the company’s most significant investment since it initiated its Bitcoin Treasury Operations in April 2024.

Highlights:

  • Metaplanet’s latest acquisition surpasses El Salvador’s holdings.
  • They aim to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, adopting strategies similar to those of MicroStrategy.
  • Current BTC holdings are valued over $706 million at present market prices.

The Bitcoins were procured at an average cost of approximately $102,119 each. Additionally, Metaplanet’s BTC Yield, gauging accumulation performance against outstanding shares, recorded 38% for Q2 while showcasing impressive rates in prior quarters: 95.6% in Q1 2025 and 309.8% in Q4 2024.

Metaplanet maintains its status as Asia’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, ranking 11th worldwide as of this announcement.
