Metaplanet Overtakes Tesla & Coinbase—Now 5th Largest Corporate Bitcoin Whale With CEO Teasing ’More Buys Ahead’

Move over, Elon—Tokyo’s Metaplanet just flipped Tesla and Coinbase in the corporate Bitcoin arms race. The Japanese investment firm now holds more BTC than both giants combined, securing its spot as the fifth-largest corporate holder worldwide.

The Accumulation Game

While Wall Street hedges debate ETFs, Metaplanet’s CEO dropped a not-so-subtle hint: 'Our treasury strategy remains aggressive.' Translation? They’re buying the dip while traditional finance still thinks 'volatility' is a dirty word.

Why It Burns Bankers

Imagine explaining to your board why a firm named after virtual real estate outmaneuvered your 'conservative' balance sheet. Bonus irony: Metaplanet’s stock soared 20% post-announcement—something your gold reserves haven’t done since the 1800s.

One thing’s clear: In the race for digital gold, the tortoise (read: legacy finance) isn’t just losing—it hasn’t even figured out the track.
