Following the recent purchase, the company retains its position as the 7th largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally and the largest in Asia.
This acquisition is part of Metaplanet’s “555 Million Plan,†an aggressive strategy to acquire and hold Bitcoin reserves as a core treasury asset.
Metaplanet’s Strategic $53.7M Purchase Boosts Bitcoin Reserves
The company’s recent acquisition of 463 BTC, at an average price of $115,895 per BTC, is another step in its 2025 buying plan. The company has continuously increased its Bitcoin holdings throughout the year, with major purchases including 1,241 BTC in May and 797 BTC in July.Â
The average cost of acquisition of its 17,595 BTC treasury stands at $101,422 per BTC, a sign of a calculated approach to market conditions. This latest buy brings the company’s total holding to $1.78 billion.
The company tracks performance using its “BTC Yield†metric, which measures the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share.
As of Aug. 4, 2025, CEO Simon Gerovich reported a year-to-date BTC Yield of 459.2%, proof of strong shareholder value creation. “Our goal is to have multiple tools to raise capital for buying Bitcoin,†Gerovich posted on X.
The purchase comes at the same time as a $3.7 billion stock issuance plan, filed on Aug. 1, 2025, to finance additional Bitcoin acquisitions through 2027.
‘555 Million Plan’ Redefines Corporate Crypto Strategy
With 17,595 BTC, the company ranks as the 7th largest corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide, surpassing companies like Coinbase and Tesla, according to BitcoinTreasuries data.Â
As Asia’s top corporate holder, the company is at the forefront of a trend among public companies adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset to hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.
Metaplanet’s “555 Million Plan,†announced in 2025, targets 210,000 BTC by 2027—1% of Bitcoin’s total supply—an upgrade from an earlier target of 21,000 BTC by 2026, as reported by Ecoinimist.
In 2025, Metaplanet acquired approximately 13,070 BTC, starting from 4,525 BTC in mid-April. This fast accumulation, supported by consistent purchases, has made the company a major player in the cryptocurrency market.
Analysts note that Metaplanet’s approach could influence corporate Bitcoin adoption, especially in Asia, where institutional interest is growing.
What Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Ambitions Mean for Global Markets
Metaplanet’s planned $3.7 billion capital raise, effective from Aug. 9, 2025, to Aug. 8, 2027, pending shareholder approval on Sept. 1, 2025, intends to fund additional Bitcoin purchases.
The capital could potentially double the firm’s current holdings of 17,595 BTC, strengthening its global ranking.
Large-scale corporate acquisitions like Metaplanet’s may contribute to Bitcoin price stability and encourage institutional adoption, especially in Asia.
