Metaplanet Now Holds 13,350 BTC, Surpassing Galaxy Digital and CleanSpark
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has added 1,005 more Bitcoin (BTC) to its growing treasury, pushing its total holdings to 13,350 BTC. With this move, the Tokyo-listed company has become the fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin whale, surpassing prominent entities like Galaxy Digital and CleanSpark.
Metaplanet’s Aggressive Accumulation Strategy Pays Off
This latest purchase marks a significant milestone in Metaplanet’s aggressive BTC acquisition campaign. Just three months ago, the firm held only 3,350 BTC. Since then, it has added a remarkable 10,000 BTC, showcasing a relentless accumulation pace unmatched by many in the space.
Metaplanet has now overtaken:
-
Galaxy Digital, which holds 12,830 BTC
-
CleanSpark, with 12,502 BTC
These rankings firmly place Metaplanet among the elite class of corporate BTC whales, outpacing even Tesla’s current holdings.
The acquisition is aligned with Metaplanet’s long-term strategy, which treats Bitcoin not just as a treasury reserve asset but as a fundamental hedge against fiat currency devaluation and inflation.
The company recently unveiled its ambitious “555 Million Plan”, a roadmap to raise over $5.4 billion to purchase up to 210,000 BTC, roughly 1% of Bitcoin’s entire supply, by 2027. As part of this plan, Metaplanet issued ¥30 billion (approximately $208 million) in zero-coupon bonds this week to fund further BTC acquisitions and refinance older debt.
Stock Reacts Positively With a 10% Increase
Investor confidence in Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-heavy approach remains strong. Following the announcement of the new 1,005 BTC purchase, the company’s stock surged more than 10%, closing at ¥1,633. The stock is now up 370% year-to-date, with trading volumes spiking significantly on Wall Street under its U.S. listing (MTPLF).
“Just three months ago, we celebrated crossing 3,350 BTC at our shareholder meeting,” said CEO Simon Gerovich. “Today, we’ve hit 13,350. Our commitment to Bitcoin is long-term, strategic, and unwavering.”
Meanwhile, Bitcoin itself rose slightly by 1% following the announcement, briefly trading above $108,000 before slipping slightly. Market watchers note that Metaplanet’s aggressive moves are helping normalize BTC exposure in corporate treasuries, potentially inspiring other firms to follow suit.
