Metaplanet Hits 10,000 BTC Mark Following $210M Bond-Backed Acquisition
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has achieved a significant milestone by acquiring an additional 1,112 BTC, bringing its total holdings to a staggering 10,000 BTC. This remarkable achievement is the direct result of its aggressive Bitcoin Treasury Operations strategy.
The newly acquired Bitcoin assets were purchased for approximately ¥16.883 billion or $117 million as part of Metaplanet’s commitment to expanding its digital asset portfolio. The funds for this acquisition came from the issuance of Metaplanet’s 18th Series of Ordinary Bonds, which raised a substantial $210 million from EVO FUND.
This notable achievement marks the completion of Metaplanet’s “210 Million Plan,” where EVO FUND was granted a massive 210 million discounted rights. It is worth noting that Metaplanet has been steadily building its Bitcoin holdings over the past year, resulting in a substantial increase in its BTC Yield. This metric serves as an important performance indicator, taking into account both increased Bitcoin holdings and shareholder accretion despite dilution.
As of June 16th, this yield had risen to 87.2% for the quarter-to-date. Moreover, Metaplanet has reported a remarkable ¥53.412 billion increase in Bitcoin value denominated in yen during Q2 2025, with its BTC Gain reaching an astonishing 3,526 BTC.
Metaplanet’s aggressive expansion into the digital asset market has enabled it to surpass Coinbase, which holds a mere 9,267 BTC, according to data from Bitbo. This impressive feat solidifies Metaplanet’s position as one of Asia’s most prominent corporate holders of Bitcoin.
With its current holdings now totaling 10,000 BTC, Metaplanet has set an ambitious goal to amass a total of 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. To achieve this, it must secure the remaining 200,000 BTC within the next 18 months.
The company’s bold strategy mirrors the growing trend among public companies to integrate digital assets into their treasuries. In recent news, Mercurity Fintech Holding has announced plans to raise $800 million to establish a dedicated Bitcoin treasury reserve, while Oslo-based crypto brokerage K33 has started holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet following a $6.22 million funding round.
Metaplanet’s significant acquisition underscores the growing interest in Bitcoin among institutional investors and public companies.
