This latest acquisition is more than a simple portfolio expansion. It marks a symbolic shift in the Bitcoin landscape. El Salvador made headlines in 2021 as the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender and has since become a vocal proponent of the cryptocurrency.
However, Metaplanet’s move to outpace the Central American nation in BTC reserves underscores the growing role of corporate entities in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
With its BTC holdings now valued at over $706 million, Metaplanet is quickly climbing the ranks among global Bitcoin holders. The firm currently stands as the largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder in Asia and ranks 11th worldwide, according to industry data.
Metaplanet has made it clear that this is just the beginning. The company aims to amass a total of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. Its accumulation strategy bears a strong resemblance to that of MicroStrategy, the U.S.-based business intelligence firm led by Michael Saylor, which holds over 555,000 BTC and has become a model for corporate Bitcoin treasury management.
Beyond just purchasing Bitcoin, Metaplanet is focusing on metrics that highlight value creation for shareholders. Its proprietary BTC Yiel, a performance indicator measuring bitcoin accumulation per share—stood at 38% for Q2 to date, following an impressive 95.6% in Q1 2025 and a staggering 309.8% in Q4 2024.
The firm also tracks BTC Gain and BTC yen Gain to evaluate the effectiveness of its non-dilutive Bitcoin growth strategy.
As global interest in digital assets continues to rise, Metaplanet’s ambitious Bitcoin accumulation plan positions it as a major player in the ongoing institutional adoption of crypto. With its eyes set on 10,000 BTC and a clear roadmap inspired by proven strategies, the company appears poised to lead the next wave of corporate Bitcoin adoption in Asia and beyond.
Meanwhile, for BTC, the digital asset is recording impressive metrics, at the time of press, BTC is swapping hands with $104,452.49 after a 0.20% and 10.38% surge in the past 24 hours and week respectively. Notably, the token’s market cap stands at a noble $2.07T.
