Metaplanet’s Massive $108.6M Bitcoin Bet: Holdings Soar to 20,000 BTC

Another corporate whale takes a massive bite out of Bitcoin.

Strategic Accumulation

Metaplanet just dropped over $100 million to push its Bitcoin treasury to a staggering 20,000 coins. That's not just diversification—that's a full-scale allocation shift screaming confidence in digital gold over traditional finance's shaky foundations.

Market Impact

This kind of institutional move doesn't happen in a vacuum. It sends ripples through trading floors and boardrooms alike, proving once again that serious players aren't just dipping toes—they're diving headfirst into crypto waters.

Corporate Treasury Trend

Remember when companies treated Bitcoin like a speculative side bet? Those days are fading fast. Now it's becoming standard operating procedure for forward-thinking firms tired of watching cash reserves get eaten by inflation.

Finance's Ironic Twist

While traditional bankers fret about volatility, the smart money keeps stacking SATs—because nothing says 'hedge against systemic risk' like an asset they can't print into oblivion. Guess those Ivy League MBAs finally found something more reliable than their own economic forecasts.

Metaplanet Reports BTC Yield Of 30.7% For Latest Quarter

Metaplanet has accelerated its Bitcoin accumulation throughout 2025, ramping up from just over 13,000 BTC at the end of June to 20,000 by Sept. 1. The company made multiple acquisitions in July and August, with purchases funded through capital market activities and operating income.

The latest announcement also details the firm’s performance metrics. Metaplanet reported a BTC Yield of 30.7% for the quarter through Sept. 1, a measure it uses to track Bitcoin holdings relative to fully diluted shares.

In earlier quarters this year, BTC Yield soared as high as 309.8%, reflecting the company’s aggressive strategy.

Management said BTC Yield, BTC Gain and BTC ¥ Gain are not traditional financial indicators but internal measures to assess whether Bitcoin purchases are accretive to shareholders.

Eric Trump To Attend Shareholder Meeting In Tokyo On Monday

Metaplanet formally adopted Bitcoin treasury operations as a Core business in Dec. 2024. Since then, the company has raised capital and converted proceeds into Bitcoin.

The company’s aggressive approach has drawn comparisons to MicroStrategy in the US, which also turned Bitcoin into its primary reserve asset. Both firms argue that holding the cryptocurrency provides a hedge against inflation and dilution.

Meanwhile, the TRUMP family’s involvement has added international attention. In March, Metaplanet appointed Eric Trump as an advisor, saying his role would help accelerate Bitcoin adoption. He is scheduled to attend a Metaplanet shareholder meeting in Tokyo on Monday, marking a further step in the family’s push into digital assets.

The Trumps have spent the past year expanding into crypto ventures, ranging from stablecoins to mining. Their presence at Metaplanet signals a bid to globalize the brand while aligning with a Japanese firm that has become a symbol of Bitcoin-focused corporate strategy.
