- Metaplanet boosts holdings with 780 more BTC, now totaling 17,132 BTC worth $1.73 billion.
- The firm has seen a 449.7% year-to-date yield on its Bitcoin investments in 2025.
- Japan’s top BTC treasuries are gaining global visibility amid rising institutional interest.
Japanese tech firm Metaplanet has reinforced its commitment to Bitcoin with a fresh purchase of 780 BTC for $92.5 million. The acquisition took place at an average price of approximately $118,622 per BTC.
This latest move raises Metaplanet’s total BTC holdings to 17,132 BTC, with the cumulative investment crossing $1.73 billion. The company’s average purchase price stands at around $101,030 per coin.
Company president Simon Gerovich shared the update, noting a strong 449.7% year-to-date return on their Bitcoin strategy. In just over a year, the firm has quietly built one of the world’s largest corporate BTC stashes. Among all public companies globally, Metaplanet now holds the seventh-largest BTC reserve.
Most large holders of BTC among public companies are based in the U.S., but Metaplanet is helping shift that spotlight eastward. The company’s approach mirrors the strategy of MicroStrategy, now known simply as Strategy, a U.S. firm that turned heads with its aggressive Bitcoin purchases.

Strategy’s Yield Model Attracts Followers
Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, has built a financial model around Bitcoin that’s now inspiring firms like Metaplanet. Strategy has BTC worth over $71.7 billion with just $11 billion in liabilities, keeping them in a sound position even amidst bear markets.
Marathon’s $2 billion “Stretch” Preferred Stock (STRC) offering, with a 9% variable dividend, caters to investors who want stability while still being indirectly connected to the performance of BTC.
Although STRC does not offer straight BTC exposure, the structure mirrors a logic underpinned by a Bitcoin-backed structure. The product is sponsored by NYDIG, which has referred to the STRC as a high-yield, crypto-backed financial product with a stable value of around $100.
Interest from investors has been strong enough that Strategy upped the offering from its original $500 million to $2 billion. With BTC’s historical 3–4% yearly yield, the company will be able to continue to earn returns without selling its assets.
Institutional Bitcoin Interest Surges in Japan
Japanese institutions’ interest in BTC seems to be growing. Publicly traded AI company Quantum Solutions just announced that it will be establishing a Bitcoin treasury.
The company aims to acquire 3,000 BTC over the next year, beginning with a $10 million allocation. If executed at the current market price of $115,500 per BTC, the total spend could exceed $350 million.
Quantum Solutions will handle this project via its subsidiary company, GPT Pals Studio Limited, based in Hong Kong. The CEO, Francis Zhou, indicated that the company, being debt-free, aims at creating a Bitcoin-focused capital structure that incorporates institutional-grade practices.
