Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin Bet—Snaps Up Another $53M in BTC (Now Holds 5,555)

Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet just dropped another $53 million into Bitcoin—pushing its total holdings to 5,555 BTC. That’s right, a number so nice they bought it twice (and then some).

Why? Probably because traditional finance is busy reinventing the wheel—with higher fees and slower settlements. Meanwhile, Bitcoin keeps doing what it does best: sitting there, being digital gold.

This isn’t just a dip-buying spree—it’s a full-blown conviction play. Whether that conviction pays off? Well, that’s the billion-satoshi question.

Growing Institutional Adoption

Rising BTC prices, increasing volume and open interest clearly displays broader institutional momentum. Spot Bitcoin ETF flows remain net positive despite minor outflows, and on-chain indicators confirm that the majority of BTC holders are still sitting in profit.

Metaplanet now ranks as the world’s 11th largest public corporate Bitcoin holder. The firm aims to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and eventually hit 21,000 BTC, echoing the vision of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which holds a staggering 555,450 BTC.

Other major holders include MARA Holdings (holding around 48,237 BTC) and XXI (holding around 31,500 BTC), as per the data from BitcoinTreasuries.net.

The continuous buying by these institutions is potentially compressing Bitcoin’s supply curve and contributing to overall bullish sentiment.
