Japanese tech firm Metaplanet has officially entered the top 10 global Bitcoin-holding companies after acquiring 1,088 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 8,888 BTC. This latest move pushes it ahead of Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc., reinforcing Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin-first strategy.

🚀 A Treasury Strategy That’s Paying Off
Since setting a target of 10,000 BTC for 2025, Metaplanet has executed one of the fastest corporate accumulation streaks in the space. The firm has already reached nearly 90% of its goal, funded partly by a ¥10 billion ($70M) bond raise just last week.

📈 Performance Speaks Volumes
Metaplanet’s stock has surged over 155% in the past month, outperforming peers in Japan’s broader market. The firm’s BTC yield is equally notable, clocking in at 66.3% for Q2 2025, and a 225% year-to-date yield, according to CEO Simon Gerovich. Analysts point to efficient treasury management and bullish execution as key growth drivers.

💡 Not Just a Hedge — A Strategic Shift
Metaplanet’s BTC strategist, Dylan LeClair, emphasized the firm’s long-term commitment: “We don’t hold Bitcoin as a hedge. We’re building on it.” With a rising mNAV of 4.75 and a unique BTC leverage rating of 11.11x, Metaplanet is clearly betting big — not just on price, but on Bitcoin as infrastructure.

📊 Why It Matters
With Japanese bond markets under stress and global volatility rising, Metaplanet’s unapologetically crypto-native approach could attract investors looking for asymmetric upside. While comparisons to MicroStrategy are inevitable, Metaplanet’s rapid climb and stock surge suggest a fresh wave of corporate BTC adoption brewing in Asia.

Takeaway:
Metaplanet’s bold BTC accumulation strategy is outperforming traditional metrics and may still be undervalued. For traders, this could be a stock and strategy worth watching — especially as they near their 10,000 BTC milestone.
