Metaplanet Inc. continues to aggressively increase its Bitcoin reserves, making it one of the largest holders of the cryptocurrency in Asia.
Metaplanet's Bitcoin Purchases
In August 2025, Metaplanet acquired an additional 103 BTC worth about $12 million, bringing the total amount of its Bitcoin holdings to 18,991 BTC. This marks a significant step in its aggressive accumulation strategy. Earlier, the company purchased 775 BTC for $93 million, bought at an average price of $120,006 per coin. On average, the total Bitcoin has been acquired at $102,653 per coin.
Comparison with MicroStrategy
Analysts often compare Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings with MicroStrategy’s U.S.-based treasury strategy. Both firms treat Bitcoin as a reserve asset. However, Metaplanet's expansion is significant as it signals a shift in institutional adoption of Bitcoin in Asia.
Long-Term Goals of the Company
The company aims to hold 210,000 BTC by 2027, about 1% of Bitcoin's total supply. A Metaplanet spokesperson stated: "We believe Bitcoin is the ultimate store of value in a rapidly changing financial system. Our goal is not speculation, but preservation of long-term shareholder wealth."
The rapid rise of Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings demonstrates a shift in corporate treasury strategies across Asia, highlighting the growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.
