Metaplanet, a Japanese-based company, has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings, reaching 5,000 BTC after acquiring an additional 145 BTC for approximately $13.6 million. This latest acquisition is part of the company’s ongoing buying spree, which shows no signs of slowing down. The purchase price of each Bitcoin was around $93,327, bringing the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to a value of roughly $468 million at current prices.
CEO Simon Gerovich announced that Metaplanet’s Bitcoin portfolio has yielded a 121.1% return year-to-date (YTD) in 2025. This acquisition follows a similar one earlier in the week, when Metaplanet added 330 BTC to its holdings. In total, the company has spent approximately $428 million to amass 5,000 BTC at an average price of $85,621 per coin.
Metaplanet has set an ambitious goal to acquire 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, with the 5,000 BTC milestone putting them halfway toward that target. To fund its continued acquisitions, the firm is exploring innovative strategies, including issuing zero-interest bonds specifically for Bitcoin purchases. Metaplanet has also enlisted Eric Trump to serve on its Strategic Board of Advisors to aid in advancing its Bitcoin ambitions.
Despite the news of Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin purchases, Bitcoin’s price has remained relatively stable, trading above $90,000. This price action has led to Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings surpassing $100 billion.
