Japanese Firm Metaplanet Reaches 43,000 BTC After $222M Q2 Purchase
Metaplanet acquired 2,823 BTC for $222 million in Q2 at an average price of $78,608, lifting its total bitcoin holdings to 43,000 BTC.
Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet disclosed that its total bitcoin holdings have reached 43,000 BTC following the acquisition of an additional 2,823 bitcoin during the second quarter of 2025.
The company allocated $222 million to fund the Q2 purchase, with an average acquisition price of $78,608 per bitcoin. The transaction represents one of the firm's largest single-quarter bitcoin buying rounds to date.
Metaplanet has been executing an aggressive bitcoin accumulation strategy modeled in part on the approach pioneered by MicroStrategy, the U.S.-based software firm that holds the largest known corporate bitcoin treasury. The Japanese company began its bitcoin purchasing program in 2024 and has since steadily increased its holdings across consecutive quarters.
The 2,823 BTC acquired in Q2 brings the firm's cumulative position to 43,000 BTC, cementing Metaplanet's status as one of the largest corporate holders of bitcoin in Asia. At current market prices, the total treasury represents a substantial portion of the company's overall asset base.
The $78,608 average price paid per bitcoin during the quarter reflects the market conditions that prevailed between April and June 2025, a period during which bitcoin traded within a broad range amid shifting macroeconomic sentiment and evolving regulatory signals across major jurisdictions.
Metaplanet has not indicated any near-term plans to slow its accumulation pace. The firm's board has previously outlined targets for expanding its bitcoin reserve as a core component of its long-term treasury management policy.
Corporate bitcoin adoption has accelerated globally in recent quarters, with a growing number of publicly listed companies in Asia and North America treating the asset as a primary reserve instrument. Metaplanet's continued purchases contribute to a broader trend of institutional-scale demand entering the bitcoin market through listed corporate vehicles.
No information was provided regarding the specific exchanges or over-the-counter desks used to execute the Q2 purchases. Further details on Metaplanet's treasury performance and strategic outlook are expected to be disclosed in the company's official quarterly financial report.
