Metaplanet Reaches 5,000 BTC Milestone with $13.6M Bitcoin Purchase
Japan-based Metaplanet has officially surpassed the 5,000 Bitcoin mark following its latest acquisition of 145 BTC for approximately $13.6 million. The purchase was announced on X (formerly Twitter), signaling the firm’s continued commitment to its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
According to the announcement, Metaplanet acquired the latest tranche at an average price of $93,327 per Bitcoin. This brings the company’s total holdings to a noteworthy 5,000 BTC and a reported year-to-date (YTD) return of 121.1%.
“Metaplanet acquired 145 BTC for approximately 1.926 billion yen (around 13.28 million yen per BTC), achieving a BTC yield of 121.1% so far in 2025,” said CEO Simon Gerovich.
To date, the company has invested approximately $428 million to accumulate its 5,000 BTC, averaging $85,621 per coin. The latest purchase follows a recent acquisition of 330 BTC for $28 million, which nearly pushed the company over the 5,000 BTC threshold.
Metaplanet adopted a Bitcoin-first strategy earlier this year, following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy. The U.S.-based firm recently added 6,556 BTC to its balance sheet, bringing its total holdings to a staggering 538,200 BTC.
With its latest acquisition, Metaplanet has now reached 50% of its 2025 goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC. “This is a big step forward in our aim to become one of the world’s leading bitcoin holding companies,” said Gerovich.
To support its Bitcoin-buying campaign, Metaplanet is exploring innovative financing strategies, including the issuance of zero-interest bonds. The firm has also appointed Eric Trump to its Strategic Board of Advisors as part of its broader push into Bitcoin.
Despite the news, Bitcoin’s price has shown little immediate reaction and continues to trade sideways, though it remains well above $90,000. At these levels, Satoshi Nakamoto’s original Bitcoin stash is now worth over $100 billion.
