Metaplanet Inc., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, disclosed on Monday that it had acquired 136 Bitcoin in its latest purchase.
The deal was valued at $15.2 million, with an average acquisition cost of $111,666 (¥16.55 million) per coin. This transaction reflects the company’s ongoing strategy to expand its Bitcoin holdings over time.
Following the latest acquisition, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin stash has climbed to 20,136 BTC. At current market prices, the holding is worth $2.08 billion (¥304.6 billion). The company’s average buy-in price across all purchases is $103,196 (¥15.1 million) per Bitcoin.
This makes Metaplanet one of the few corporations worldwide with a multi-billion-dollar Bitcoin position.
Sixth-Largest Public Corporate Holder of Bitcoin
According to BitcoinTreasuries data, Metaplanet is now the sixth-largest public corporate holder of the world’s leading cryptocurrency. It follows companies including Strategy, Marathon Digital, XXI, Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, and Bullish.
Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, remains far ahead with 636,505 BTC, cementing its position as the top holder.
Aggressive Targets for 2025 and 2026
With 20,136 BTC now in its portfolio, Metaplanet is steadily progressing toward its ambitious long-term objectives.
The company has set a new target of accumulating 30,000 BTC by the close of 2025 and scaling up to 100,000 BTC by 2026. To put this into perspective, the current holdings account for approximately two-thirds of the 2025 goal and one-fifth of the 2026 milestone.
These revised targets represent a significant upward adjustment from the company’s earlier projections of 10,000 BTC by 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.
BTC Yield Surges 487% Year-to-Date
Alongside the accumulation, Metaplanet tracks its performance through a metric called BTC Yield.
For 2025, the company has achieved an impressive 487% yield year-to-date. From July 1 to September 8, the BTC Yield rose another 30.8%, reflecting the impact of aggressive purchases.
Metaplanet explained that the yield is used to measure whether Bitcoin acquisitions add long-term value for shareholders.
