Metaplanet Buys $117M Bitcoin, Now Holds 10,000 BTC Total

Metaplanet, Japan’s Bitcoin-focused firm, announced on June 16 that it had purchased an additional 1,112 BTC worth $117.2 million. The company says the purchase brings its total Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC, hitting its 2025 target six months ahead of schedule.

The company revealed the news in an official filing on Monday, stating the average purchase price was around $105,435 per BTC. CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed, “As of 6/16/2025, we hold 10,000 BTC acquired for $947 million at $94,697 per bitcoin.” The latest buy is part of the firm’s aggressive Bitcoin Treasury strategy.

The purchase follows another large buy just two weeks earlier on June 2, when Metaplanet bought 1,088 BTC for $117.3 million. The company has been steadily increasing its Bitcoin reserves since mid-2024 as part of a long-term holding plan.

Alongside the Bitcoin buy, Metaplanet also announced it will issue $210 million in 0% ordinary bonds to EVO FUND. These bonds, part of the company’s 18th series, will mature on December 12, 2025. Funds raised will be used to purchase even more Bitcoin.

Metaplanet said the bond issuance is expected to have minimal effect on its financials for the fiscal year ending December 2025. However, the company promised to release updates if anything changes.

From April 1 to June 16, Metaplanet’s BTC Yield was 87.2%. BTC Gain during that period was 3,526 BTC, which equals about ¥53.4 billion in yen value.

According to filings, the company’s total BTC jumped from 4,046 on March 31 to 10,000 on June 16. Over the past year, Metaplanet has dramatically boosted its holdings while expanding its shareholder base through new equity offerings.

The company has set a goal of holding 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and 210,000 BTC by 2027. It plans to raise $5.4 billion by issuing 555 million shares using moving strike warrants.
