Metaplanet

Metaplanet said it is targeting an accumulation of 100,000 BTC and now ranks as the world's third-largest holder. A 36% drop in BTC value created a $1.5 billion unrealized loss, but the firm frames the position as a long-term play.

Metaplanet purchased over $405.48 million of Bitcoin, lifting its reserves to 40,177 BTC and becoming the world’s third-largest corporate holder, surpassing MARA. The announcement came Thursday even as the company’s shares slipped.

Trump-linked miner American Bitcoin Corp now holds 7,000 BTC, climbing the list of largest corporate treasuries as many firms sell; Metaplanet raised $255M to expand its own BTC stash.

Tokyo-listed Metaplanet will fund, incubate and award grants to startups building Bitcoin financial infrastructure, moving beyond simply holding BTC. The initiative aims to accelerate custody, on‑ramps and payments services across Asia.

Metaplanet, a Japan-listed firm focused on Bitcoin, has purchased 4,279 BTC to start 2026, reinforcing ongoing corporate accumulation trends in the market. The move underscores continued institutional interest from Japan and could tighten available supply on exchanges.

Metaplanet purchased 4,279 BTC on Dec. 30, 2025, raising its treasury to 35,102 BTC. The firm's bitcoin-based income operations generated roughly $55 million in revenue for fiscal 2024.

Norges Bank Investment Management voted unanimously for all five management proposals at Bitcoin-treasury firm Metaplanet, and the stock rose 1.51% amid a modest BTC rebound. The $2 trillion sovereign fund’s backing is a notable institutional signal for crypto-related corporate governance.

Metaplanet's president has publicly defended the firm's governance framework and confirmed shareholder support as it shifts its treasury business toward Bitcoin holdings. The company says oversight and compliance measures will remain central during the transition.

October data shows Strategy's share of corporate Bitcoin holdings falling from 75% to 60% as new entrants like Metaplanet and Coinbase add thousands of BTC. Firms are also broadening exposure to Ethereum and Solana to capture staking yields and diversification.
