Metaplanet, a Japanese public-listed firm, has now overtaken Tesla in Bitcoin holdings following a recent purchase of 1,234 BTC. The acquisition lifts the company to seventh place on the global list of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders. Just two weeks earlier, Metaplanet ranked tenth, behind firms like Block Inc., Hut 8, and Coinbase. This move comes amid a broader Bitcoin accumulation trend among corporations in 2025.

555 Million Plan and US Expansion

The latest purchase follows the firm’s announcement of its “555 Million Plan” to grow its Bitcoin treasury. That will be an initiative under a larger $5 billion capital increase to assist the U.S. subsidiary of Metaplanet.

According to the company, the money will be spent on increasing the acquisition of Bitcoin and infrastructure. Another intention of the plan is to strengthen its role as a publicly traded company that has a large amount of BTC in its reserves. The purchase of 1,234 BTC was implemented the day after this funding round was announced, indicating the rapid utilization of the attracted funds.

Stock Stabilization After Recent Decline

The share price of Metaplanet had fallen by almost 25% to reach 1,900 an all-time high. The recent acquisition of BTC seems to have put a halt on the negative trend and the stock has stabilized around the 1,560 JPY mark.

Analysts say this move may attract dip-buyers, especially with the stock still seeing high trading volumes. Metaplanet is currently second only to MicroStrategy in average daily trading volume among listed Bitcoin treasuries. Gerovich noted, “Trading volume is the lifeblood of a Bitcoin treasury company.”

Global Bitcoin Accumulation Trends Continue

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin acquisition is part of a broader trend among institutional investors. Over the last ten days, over 13,000 BTC have been purchased by some of the following companies: MicroStrategy, Semler Scientific, and Metaplanet.

Moreover, ProCap BTC, owned by Anthony Pompliano, added 4,932 BTC after raising a billion dollars a short time ago. Such actions reflect the continuance of interest in Bitcoin as a treasury that shows no sign of easing with the market volatility that comes with geopolitical shifts, including the Iran-Israel conflict.

Metaplanet is not a new face when buying BTC, having already bought 1,111 of it this year. The firm continues to expand its visibility, implying that it does not see the short-term outlook of Bitcoin on its financial strategy as negative. The rapid rise against Tesla will make the company one of the most aggressive corporate Bitcoin owners in 2025.
