Metaplanet has added 5,075 Bitcoin to its treasury, taking its total holdings to 40,177 BTC and moving it deeper into the race among the world’s largest public corporate Bitcoin holders. The latest purchase keeps the Tokyo-listed company in third place, behind Strategy and Twenty One Capital. Metaplanet has set a long-range goal of holding 210,000 BTC, a figure equal to about 1% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply.
Why 210,000 BTC Matters
Metaplanet’s 210,000 BTC target gives the company a much larger ambition than a standard treasury allocation. At that level, one public company would control about one out of every 100 Bitcoins that will ever exist. That figure gives the strategy links the firm’s balance sheet plan directly to Bitcoin’s fixed supply model.
The company has not reached that scale yet, but the current pace shows steady progress. With 40,177 BTC on hand, Metaplanet has already built one of the largest corporate holdings in the market. If it reaches 210,000 BTC, it would move far beyond its current position and become one of the most watched Bitcoin treasury firms in the public market.
How Metaplanet is Building its Bitcoin Treasury
The latest acquisition added 5,075 BTC at an average price of about $79,898 per coin, according to the latest update. That purchase brought Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin investment to about $4.2 billion, with a cumulative average purchase price of roughly $104,106 per Bitcoin. The company also said its Bitcoin income business generated 2,969 million yen in sales during the first quarter.
Metaplanet has said it uses options strategies to help lower effective acquisition costs. It also expanded its funding capacity by $531 million as part of its plan to keep adding Bitcoin over time. Those steps show that the company is not relying on a single funding channel. Instead, it is building a structure that combines treasury accumulation, market activity, and related business lines to keep the strategy moving.
What 40,177 BTC Means in the Public Company Rankings
With 40,177 BTC, Metaplanet now ranks third among publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holders. Only Strategy, with 762,099 BTC, and Twenty One Capital, with 43,514 BTC, hold more. Metaplanet still has room before it can move into second place, but it has already entered the top tier of public Bitcoin treasury companies.
Metaplanet’s “BTC Yield” came in at 2.8% for the first quarter, down from 11.9% in the prior quarter and 33% in the third quarter of 2025.
Regulation and Index Pressure in Japan
Metaplanet’s expansion comes as Japan Exchange Group considers rules that could delay or block index inclusion for companies whose main assets are cryptocurrencies. The consultation has raised fresh questions for firms whose market identity now depends heavily on Bitcoin. This creates a new layer of pressure for Metaplanet as it pushes a treasury model that is more aggressive than most listed companies in Japan.
Chief Executive Simon Gerovich has said the company will engage with regulators and continue to build around its original Bitcoin strategy. He has also pointed to Project Nova and other business efforts aimed at expanding Japan’s Bitcoin ecosystem.
