Metaplanet Scoops 1,004 Bitcoin in 2nd-Biggest Buy Ever

  • Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, purchased 1,004 Bitcoins on May 19, 2025, marking its second-largest single-day acquisition and raising its total holdings to 7,800 BTC.
  • This purchase followed Metaplanet's ongoing strategy to increase its Bitcoin reserves as part of a broader corporate treasury plan fueled by Bitcoin's scarcity and inflation-hedging properties.
  • Metaplanet holds the largest Bitcoin reserves among publicly traded companies in Asia and ranks tenth worldwide, with its substantial acquisitions contributing to a tighter circulating supply and potentially driving upward momentum in Bitcoin’s price.
  • Metaplanet’s acquisition of 1,004 BTC, costing around $104.6 million, contributed to a 170% return on its Bitcoin holdings, with the company crediting its Bitcoin treasury strategy for generating 88% of its highest-ever first-quarter revenue totaling 877 million yen.
  • As Metaplanet nears its goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, this purchase underscores its growing influence in institutional Bitcoin investment and broader market confidence in digital assets.
