- Tokyo stock jumps 2.34% as the firm leads Asia’s crypto treasury trend inspired by MicroStrategy.
Metaplanet has recently increased its Bitcoin treasury by purchasing 1,088 additional BTC. This acquisition raised its total Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 tokens, valued at roughly $930 million. The company spent 16.89 billion yen ($117.5 million) to buy the latest Bitcoin batch at a price of 15.5 million yen ($108,051) per token. This purchase followed Metaplanet’s issuance of $50 million in zero-interest bonds last week, showing its ongoing confidence in Bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s Fast Bitcoin Growth and Influences From MicroStrategy
The recent purchase places Metaplanet closer to its ambitious year-end target of holding 10,000 BTC. The firm has accelerated its Bitcoin accumulation in 2025, having acquired 7,126 BTC so far this year. Metaplanet began its Bitcoin treasury strategy in April 2024 and quickly emerged as Asia’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder. Today, it ranks among the world’s top 10 corporate Bitcoin holders. MicroStrategy remains the global leader with a massive 580,250 BTC under management.
CEO Simon Gerovich has acknowledged MicroStrategy’s corporate Bitcoin strategy and its executive chairman, Michael Saylor, as significant inspirations. Metaplanet aligns its approach closely with this playbook, aiming to strengthen its long-term Bitcoin position.
Metaplanet Stock Moves and Growing Crypto Treasury Trend
Metaplanet’s stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange rose by 2.34% to 1,094 yen as of early trading. Over the past year, the stock price has surged twentyfold, according to Yahoo Finance data. However, the company’s U.S.-listed stock (MTPLF) closed 7.64% lower last Friday at $7.25.
Following Metaplanet and MicroStrategy’s example, several firms have adopted cryptocurrency treasury strategies. These companies include Twenty One, led by Jack Mallers, along with others building treasuries in Ether, XRP, Solana, and various altcoins.
The number 8,888 BTC may be important because eight represents good luck in Japanese business. This points to conscious management of the exact amounts of Bitcoin. The company’s Bitcoin reserves account for a significant share of how high the price of Metaplanet stock currently is. So, they share in any future increases in Bitcoin’s value.
Such regular additions and market success underline Metaplanet’s strong commitment to Bitcoin in its main business. Currently, the company shows a belief in using digital assets to manage its funds.
