“As of 4/14/2025, we hold 4525 BTC acquired for $386.3 million at $85,366 per Bitcoin.”

The company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has brought its total holdings to 4,525 BTC. The Tokyo-listed firm recently acquired 160 additional Bitcoins, after it announced issuing around $13.3 million in zero-interest ordinary bonds. The proceeds were earmarked exclusively for purchasing additional cryptos.

According to Dom Harz, Co-Founder of BOB (“Build on Bitcoin), there has been a mood shift between BTC once being a speculative bet and now a strategic play for corporations.

“As corporations start to hold more Bitcoin, they’ll start to integrate digital assets into their core operations,” he told Cryptonews.

“The moment institutions see a viable yield-generating mechanism that aligns with Bitcoin’s security model, we’ll see major players exploring it – and fast.”

Further, from the corporate point of view, holding BTC would have a “passive yield on their assets.” It offers them diversity from traditional investments, Harz added.

Besides, Metaplanet’s consistent Bitcoin accumulation aligns with its plans to increase holdings by 470%, aiming to reach 10,000 BTC this year.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin purchases come amid growing tension over U.S. trade tariffs. On Sunday, Bitcoin slid over 2%, dropping to $83,482, per Coin Market Cap data. the largest crypto is trading at $84,469 at press time.

The Japanese firm positions itself in the trajectory of Michael Saylor’s Strategy, whose aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has influenced a growing number of corporates.

Last month, Metaplanet appointed Eric Trump to its newly formed Strategic Advisory Board, citing him as a “leading voice and advocate of digital asset adoption worldwide.”
