Metaplanet is once again in the news for expanding its large Bitcoin holdings. The Japan-listed company has purchased 797 more BTC, adding to its growing treasury.

Metaplanet Climbs to Fifth-Largest Bitcoin Holder
As of July 14, 2025, Metaplanet has a total of 16,352 Bitcoin. This makes the company one of the biggest publicly held Bitcoin holders in the world. It has become the fifth-largest holder of treasuries after surpassing Galaxy Digital. This has been viewed by many as a clear indication that Metaplanet indeed means business in its Bitcoin strategy, and it is willing to make a big bet in the currency.
The company never used to be in the Bitcoin business. Metaplanet, up until last year, was primarily a hotel management company. However, the firm changed its direction in December 2024. It has since considered Bitcoin as a complete line of businesses. It implies that Bitcoin is not a mere additional investment anymore, but a significant component of the money-making and growth process of the company.
The ability of Metaplanet to continue acquiring a lot of Bitcoin is because of its distinctive funding model. There are various methods that the firm employs to obtain funds. It has accessed zero-interest bonds and the rights to acquire stocks. It is also eying the U.S. capital markets. Indeed, Metaplanet is preparing to inject a huge 5 billion dollars into its Florida subsidiary to further purchase more Bitcoin and consolidate the treasury.
Besides, the company has a definite future objective. Metaplanet is interested in having more than 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027. It is a huge target, but since it has a consistent purchasing trend, people are certain that the company can achieve it.

Metaplanet’s plan does not stop at buying Bitcoin alone. The company is interested in borrowing against its Bitcoins to get ready money. It will use this cash to acquire companies that will bring consistent income. In this manner, Metaplanet will be able to put its Bitcoin up as collateral and continue to expand in other aspects of business.
The company has recently announced its second-quarter report. It had an income of close to 1.1 billion yen, which is approximately 7.6 million dollars. This represented a 42% increase over the previous year. It reveals that the new strategy of Metaplanet is already beginning to pay off.
Bitcoin has also been performing well. It recently set a new all-time high, trading above $123,000. The stock price of Metaplanet increased by 1%, reaching 1,589 yen, following the latest announcement.
Finally, the ambitious plan of Metaplanet on Bitcoin does not indicate any signs of deceleration. The company also intends to continue accumulating Bitcoin as it continues to acquire new business platforms by borrowing wisely. At this point, everyone is watching Metaplanet as it targets its big goal in 2027.
