Metaplanet becomes Asia's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, continuing aggressive accumulation to build a Bitcoin treasury - IcoHolder.

Tokyo-listed investment firm Metaplanet has solidified its position as Asia’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with a new purchase of 330 BTC, valued at approximately $28.2 million. This acquisition, announced by CEO Simon Gerovich on April 21, increases the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 4,855 BTC, worth over $423 million at current market prices.

Metaplanet’s latest purchase follows closely behind a similar transaction in mid-April, where the firm acquired 3.78 billion yen (around $26.3 million) worth of Bitcoin. This aggressive accumulation strategy underscores the company’s commitment to building a substantial Bitcoin treasury, with a long-term goal of acquiring 21,000 BTC by 2026.

The company’s growing Bitcoin reserves have propelled Metaplanet to the 10th spot among global corporate holders of Bitcoin, while its total holdings make it the largest Bitcoin holder in Asia. The firm’s Bitcoin portfolio has seen impressive growth, with an increase of over 119% year-to-date.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy is supported by both its operating income and capital market activities. In addition, the company provides shareholders with transparency through proprietary performance metrics such as BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC ¥ Gain. These indicators help investors track the firm’s Bitcoin-related performance and evaluate its overall impact on shareholder value.

Notably, Metaplanet’s BTC Yield, which measures the ratio of Bitcoin holdings to fully diluted shares, was reported at 12.1% for Q2 2025, following a remarkable 95.6% yield in the first quarter. These figures demonstrate the firm’s ability to grow its Bitcoin treasury without significant share dilution, a key concern for investors.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-focused strategy has drawn comparisons to MicroStrategy, a U.S.-based company that similarly adopted a Bitcoin treasury approach. By positioning itself as a Bitcoin investment vehicle, Metaplanet offers its equity investors direct exposure to the cryptocurrency through its publicly traded shares.

The company’s leadership has emphasized that its Bitcoin strategy is not merely about acquiring digital assets but is part of a broader vision to innovate the future of finance, integrating digital assets at its core. With its continued expansion in the crypto space, Metaplanet is setting the stage for a new wave of Bitcoin-driven financial innovation in Asia.
