Metaplanet share moves into the spotlight with Bitcoin strategy
A day after announcing its first quarter results and record sales of USD 6 million, Metaplanet shares are storming the Tokyo Stock Exchange today. The Japanese company announced that these record results were achieved on the back of a strong Bitcoin strategy. Today’s Bitcoin purchase comes at a time when the BTC price is aiming for a weekly close above $105,000 to continue the rally.
Since January 1, 2025, the company has increased its Bitcoin holdings by 4.4 times, adding 6,038 BTC to a total of 7,800 BTC.

The Japanese company is now the eleventh largest Bitcoin holder, overtaking El Salvador, which recently set a milestone.
Metaplanet has now reached about 78% of its short-term goal of holding 10,000 BTC, with a cost basis of 712.5 million yen ($91,343) per Bitcoin. The company’s aggressive Bitcoin buying spree has continued this 2025 and has come very close to its goal of 10,000 BTC. Furthermore, the company has achieved an impressive BTC return of 189.1% with its Bitcoin purchases this 2025.
