Metaplanet Nearly Doubles Bitcoin Holdings in Seven Weeks, Now Holds 7,800 BTC

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is rapidly scaling up its Bitcoin exposure, with the company disclosing a fresh purchase of 1,004 BTC in its latest filing.

The acquisition, finalized at an average price of ¥15.13 million per coin (approximately $105,000), brings the firm’s total Bitcoin reserves to 7,800 BTC.

The most recent purchase, valued at roughly ¥15.19 billion (or $105.5 million), was confirmed in an official notice signed by Metaplanet’s Representative Director, Simon Gerovich. The company’s total Bitcoin investment has now surpassed ¥105 billion (around $732 million), with its average cost basis sitting at ¥13.51 million per coin.

What’s notable is the pace of accumulation. Since the beginning of April, Metaplanet has added 3,754 BTC to its treasury — nearly doubling its position from 4,046 BTC held at the end of March. In just under three weeks this May alone, the firm has acquired over 2,200 BTC, ramping up from 5,555 BTC on May 7 to 7,800 BTC by May 19.

According to company disclosures, this aggressive expansion has been financed through a mix of capital market instruments and internal cash flow. Metaplanet officially launched its Bitcoin Treasury Operations as a core business line in December 2024, and has since positioned BTC as a central pillar in its corporate strategy.

With Bitcoin continuing to gain traction among institutional players, Metaplanet’s rapid accumulation suggests it is betting big on long-term upside — and aiming to secure a position among the largest public holders of the cryptocurrency.
