With Bitcoin now making up 45.3% of Metaplanet’s total market capitalization, the company’s exposure to BTC rivals that of MicroStrategy, the well-known corporate Bitcoin pioneer.
As of this week, Metaplanet’s market cap stands at $5 billion, with shares trading around $7.10 under the ticker MTPLF.
A Long-Term Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Metaplanet began accumulating Bitcoin in April 2024, initially purchasing smaller allocations before scaling up aggressively throughout 2025. This latest acquisition signals the company’s intent to continue building its position despite Bitcoin’s recent volatility.
The move mirrors strategies adopted by other pro-Bitcoin corporations, positioning Metaplanet as a proxy investment vehicle for institutions and retail investors seeking BTC exposure via the traditional stock market.
Final Thoughts: What This Means for Metaplanet and Bitcoin
With over 18,000 BTC secured, Metaplanet is now firmly established as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in the world. Its aggressive acquisition strategy reinforces the growing trend of Bitcoin as a reserve asset among publicly listed companies.
As Bitcoin adoption among corporations continues to expand, Metaplanet’s approach could serve as a blueprint for other firms seeking to diversify their balance sheets while positioning themselves for potential gains in the evolving digital asset market.
