- Metaplanet Inc is a Tokyo-listed investment firm formerly known as Red Planet Japan is one of Japan’s most aggressive corporate Bitcoin investors.
- The Bitcoin strategy is seen as a hedge against Japan’s weakening yen and high public debt.
- The company’s aggressive bitcoin accumulation has made it the 11th-largest public company by bitcoin holdings globally.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has further expanded its holdings by acquiring an additional $1.18 million worth of Bitcoin.
The new purchase, made amid a broader market dip, highlights Metaplanets continued commitment to Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy.
The announcement, made Friday via the Tokyo Stock Exchange, revealed that the newly purchased Bitcoin was acquired at an average price of approximately $95,869 per BTC, and further propels Metaplanet’s Bitcoin reserve.
The company’s Bitcoin reserve now stands at 11,111 BTC, valued at approximately $1.2 B at current prices.
The Tokyo listed company began its BTC accumulation in April 2024 but has been aggressively investing in BTC since May 2025. In December 2024, the company’s bitcoin treasury operations, became an official business line of Metaplanet.
Earlier in May, Metaplanet acquired 1,004 BTC for approximately $104.3 million, expanding to 7,800 BTC. Just last week, Metaplanet issued $210M in zero-interest bonds to Evo Fund, acquiring 1,088 BTC.
Metaplanet has framed the move as a hedge against long-term macroeconomic uncertainties, including Japan’s low interest rate environment and the persistent weakness of the Yen.
Despite recent market volatility of cryptocurrency owing to the middle east crisis and the fact that Bitcoin is down more than 6% in the past week, Metaplanet appears undeterred.
The company said in a statement; “Our commitment to Bitcoin as a core treasury asset remains unwavering.”
The firm’s latest purchase cements its position among the growing list of global companies integrating Bitcoin into their corporate treasuries.
