Metaplanet Joins Bitcoin Elite: 1,005 BTC Purchase Rockets Stock 10% – Now Top 5 Holder

Tokyo’s Metaplanet just dropped a nine-figure bet on Bitcoin—and Wall Street’s scrambling to keep up.

The publicly traded firm snapped up another 1,005 BTC this week, vaulting into crypto’s inner circle. Their cold storage now rivals nation-states’ reserves.

Market reaction? A 10% stock surge overnight. Traders are finally waking up to what crypto natives knew years ago: corporate balance sheets look naked without digital gold.

Why the FOMO? With institutional adoption accelerating, Metaplanet’s move signals a tipping point. Even traditional investors can’t ignore the math anymore—especially when their competitors’ BTC stacks keep mooning.

The cynical take: Nothing boosts a stagnant stock like slapping ‘blockchain’ in the earnings report. But this time, they actually bought the dip instead of just talking about it.

Metaplanet publicly committed to building a substantial Bitcoin treasury, stressing that it doesn’t view Bitcoin as just a treasury asset. Rather, it considers Bitcoin as a strategic hedge against inflation and fiat currency devaluation, echoing the playbook of global leaders.

Metaplanet announced to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, which it already reached on June 16. The company initially announced acquiring 21,000 BTC by 2026 and later updated its treasury strategy, launching its sweeping “555 Million Plan,” and aiming to raise $5.4 billion to buy 210,000 BTC by 2027.
