Japan’s publicly-published metaplanet acquired an additional 136 Bitcoin of about $15.2 million (¥225.1 billion), bringing total holdings to 20,136 BTC, according to a filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Monday.
The latest purchase, made at an average price of 111,666 (¥16.55 million) per Bitcoin, demonstrates the company’s aggressive accumulation strategy as it competes for an ambitious target of 100,000 BTC by 2026. Metaplanet invested a total of $20800 billion (304.56 bits) at the average price of Bitcoin. 1 million) per coin. Due to the company’s rapid accumulation, it positions it as the sixth largest public enterprise holder of Bitcoin worldwide.
The company dramatically expanded its Bitcoin acquisition target, which was planned to be at just 10,000 BTC and 21,000 BTC by 2025. Currently, we aim to reach 30,000 BTC by 2025 and 100,000 BTC by 2026, reflecting the increased financial trust as Bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s accumulation strategy has been successful, with the company achieving a “BTC yield” of 487% per year in 2025. This metric shows the company’s ability to measure changes in the percentage of Bitcoin holdings compared to fully diluted stocks, and to expand its Bitcoin position while managing shareholder dilutions.
The trend in adopting Bitcoin by companies accelerated dramatically in 2025, with over 200 public companies currently holding Bitcoin at the Ministry of Finance. Collectively, these companies manage over 1 million BTC, accounting for more than 4.5% of Bitcoin’s distribution supply.
Bitcoin finance companies are a major force in the market. Their continued accumulation provides a strong purchasing base for assets, and if sales pressures decrease, it can lead to significant price increases.
To support its ambitious acquisition plan, Metaplanet recently secured shareholder approval for its $884 million capital raise initiative. The company actively manages its capital structure through July and August 2025 through a combination of stock issuance and bond redemption, including multiple tranches of stock acquisition rights practice.
The emergence of Bitcoin finance companies as a major market force represents a major change in corporate finance strategies. Recent entrants include American Bitcoin Corp., which opened on Nasdaq this week, and Strategy Inc., which added 4,048 BTC worth $449.3 million to its holdings last week.
The institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a financial asset is accelerating faster than many expected. “Companies view Bitcoin as a strategic hedge against currency devaluation and financial uncertainty.
With Bitcoin prices continuing to fall below $112,000, it appears that corporate finance managers are taking advantage of the relative price stability to build positions. Competition for a limited supply of Bitcoin continues to be strengthened as Metaplanet and other companies maintain an aggressive accumulation strategy.
