The world of global investment is rapidly evolving, with private firms now rivaling entire nations in crypto asset accumulation. One of the clearest examples of this trend is Japanese investment firm Metaplanet, which has recently made headlines with its bold Bitcoin strategy.
With its latest acquisition, Metaplanet now holds 6,796 BTC, exceeding the official Bitcoin reserves of El Salvador. At current market value, this stash is worth approximately $707 million.
From Bold Moves to Global Rankings
On May 12, the Tokyo-listed company announced it had purchased an additional 1,241 BTC at a unit price of 14.8 million yen (about $101,843), marking its highest per-coin acquisition to date.

CEO Simon Gerovich stated on X, “From humble beginnings to rivaling nation-states, we’re just getting started,” signaling the company’s growing ambition in the crypto space.
Asia’s Largest Bitcoin Holder
With these moves, Metaplanet has become the largest Bitcoin holder in Asia and the tenth largest globally. The firm bought 5,555 BTC on May 7 alone, following four purchases in April totaling 18,586 BTC and six in March totaling 18,925 BTC.
Metaplanet also reported a quarterly BTC Yield of 38%, following a 95.6% yield in Q1 2025 — a metric that reflects the growth of Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share.
Meanwhile, Michael Saylor hinted at another possible acquisition by his firm with a cryptic “Connect the dots” message accompanied by a screenshot of the “Saylor Tracker.” Historically, such posts have preceded major BTC purchases.
