Metaplanet is a Japanese investment firm aggressively building its Bitcoin reserves. The latest purchase of 1,234 BTC makes it surpass Tesla in BTC holdings.
Metaplanet indeed disclosed on Thursday that it had acquired a new batch of Bitcoin at an average price of 15.6 million yen (approximately $108,000) per coin.
The new purchase brings Metaplanet’s total holdings to 12,345 BTC a layer above Tesla’s current reported reserve of 11,509 BTC.
Metaplanet now also holds the seventh largest corporate Bitcoin treasury globally, edging closer to CleanSpark’s 12,502 BTC stash.

Aggressive Expansion Strategy
The latest Bitcoin purchase comes days after Metaplanet notified investors of a significant capital injection to further propel its Bitcoin accumulation efforts.
On Tuesday the company announced the board of directors approved an additional capital contribution of up to 800 billion yen (roughly $5 billion).
While the company did not disclose how much has been raised to date, it said the funds would “significantly accelerate” the rollout of its “555 Million Plan.”
Under the “555 Million Plan”, Metaplanet aims to acquire 201,112 BTC by 2027.
Metaplanet is the latest in a growing list of firms aggressively expanding their Bitcoin treasuries amid renewed institutional interest in digital assets.
In Japan, Nakamoto Holdings recently secured $51.5 million in funding to boost its Bitcoin acquisitions. In South Korea, Parataxis Holdings launched a new Bitcoin treasury platform in June 2025.
In Europe, France’s Blockchain Group added 182 BTC worth approximately $19.6 million to its balance sheet, increasing its total holdings to 1,728 BTC.
As the corporate race for Bitcoin intensifies, Metaplanet’s bold strategy puts it firmly among the most aggressive institutional buyers in the space.
