Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-listed company, has expanded its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring 797 BTC, aligning with its corporate treasury strategy during rising market prices.

Metaplanet Inc., originally a hotel operator, has pivoted to a corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy. The company recently purchased 797 Bitcoins at an average price of $117,451, bringing its total holdings to 16,352 BTC.
CEO Simon Gerovich describes the firm’s approach as a “bitcoin gold rush,” prioritizing rapid accumulation before using these assets for expansion. This aligns with its strategy to leverage Bitcoin for growth, especially in digital banking.
Metaplanet’s acquisition reflects its position among top corporate Bitcoin holders . The market reaction has been positive, with prices hitting new highs after the announcement, illustrating growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin.
The company aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC by 2027, mirroring strategies akin to MicroStrategy but at a smaller scale.
Seamus Rocca, CEO, Xapo Bank, noted, “It is vital to remember that firms like Strategy and Metaplanet represent high-conviction outliers, headline grabbers with bold strategies that align with their unique business aims. For most, a more measured approach will be better suited. One grounded in long-term belief, not short-term reliance on volatility.”
Metaplanet’s strategic Bitcoin acquisitions have not directly influenced other cryptocurrencies or DeFi sectors. The focus remains solely on Bitcoin, without immediate plans to diversify into other digital assets.
Experts suggest the financial implications could support Metaplanet’s future expansions in fintech and digital banking sectors. Despite potential regulatory developments, current actions indicate a strong commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
