Metaplanet has been working on it for a while now. The Tokyo-based firm just bought 1,004 more Bitcoins worth about $104.6 million.
This isn't new for them. Just last week, they grabbed 1,241 BTC in one go. That buy cost $129 million, which pushed them past El Salvador's national BTC holdings.
Currently, Metaplanet holds 7,800 BTC. At today's prices, that's worth around $807 million. It makes them Asia's biggest public Bitcoin holder. Globally, they now rank 10th, according to BiTBO.

Climbing the Leaderboard
The gap is closing fast. If Metaplanet buys just 301 more Bitcoin, they'll move ahead of Galaxy Digital, which holds 8,100 BTC and stands at the 9th top position for holding BTC.
Let us see MetaPlanet's Bitcoin buying pattern.
In March, MetaPlanet made six separate purchases, totalling 1,655 BTC.
In April, it added 794 BTC across four buys.
Now, in May, the company has already bought 2,800 BTC.
Clearly, MetaPlanet is not slowing down.
What's Driving It?
If we look closely, a trend is forming. According to research from River, corporations are now the biggest net buyers of Bitcoin in 2025. They're outpacing governments, ETFs, and even retail investors.
Metaplanet's own numbers tell a story. In Q1, it posted a BTC yield of 95.6%. In Q2, that number is already at 47.8%. This metric shows how much Bitcoin grows per share. It's a way of measuring how their Bitcoin strategy is boosting shareholder value.
Meanwhile, Across the Ocean...
Meanwhile, Michael Saylor is sending a strong message to Bitcoin buyers. He recently shared a tweet saying,
"The digital gold rush ends ~January 7, 2035. Get your Bitcoin before there is no Bitcoin left for you."
Saylor's words remind investors that Bitcoin's supply is limited. MicroStrategy still holds the largest corporate Bitcoin stash—568,840 BTC, valued at nearly $59 billion.
With the clock ticking on Bitcoin availability, firms like Metaplanet are clearly moving quickly to secure their share of the market before it's too late.
Final Thoughts
Metaplanet isn't waiting. It's building its Bitcoin position brick by brick. Quietly, but with purpose.
If current momentum holds, it won't just be a top-10 holder. It could soon be a household name in global crypto circles.
And with Bitcoin this close to a new all-time high, they're clearly betting the best is yet to come.
