Metaplanet Surpasses Coinbase: Now Holds 10K BTC & Ranks as Top 9 Bitcoin Whale

Move over, Coinbase—Tokyo’s Metaplanet just flipped the script. With a jaw-dropping 10,000 BTC stash, the firm bulldozed its way into the top 10 Bitcoin holders globally. Who needs legacy exchanges when you can HODL like a pro?

The New Bitcoin Power Player

Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy—fueled by Japan’s economic turbulence—has catapulted it past crypto giants. The 10,000 BTC haul? A flex that redefines corporate treasury plays. Meanwhile, traditional finance still debates ETFs.

Why This Stings for Coinbase

The Nasdaq-listed exchange, once the gold standard for institutional crypto, now watches as a Tokyo-based dark horse outpaces its reserves. Irony alert: Coinbase custody clients might soon demand answers—or a Metaplanet onboarding memo.

The Cynical Kickero

Wall Street’s still stuck on ‘digital gold’ narratives while Metaplanet treats Bitcoin like a corporate lifeline. Guess which strategy aged better in 2025’s hyperinflation rollercoaster? Spoiler: not the one with quarterly earnings calls.
