Aggressive Accumulation Through August

Metaplanet just filed a statement revealing its latest purchase of 103 BTC at $113,491. With this addition, its Bitcoin holdings are now 18,991. It’s now just a few dozen coins behind US firm Riot Platforms which currently holds the 6th place.

This is the pace of accumulation as Metaplanet deploys capital to strengthen its Bitcoin treasury. Metaplanet’s share price has gone up over 345% in 2025 and its market cap is over ¥1 trillion ($7 billion).

Institutional Recognition and Milestones

Metaplanet’s moves are being noticed globally. The firm has just been added to the FTSE Japan Index in its September review.

The “Infinite Money Glitch”? Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation Grows

Metaplanet Bitcoin moves follows a trend of public companies putting Bitcoin in their treasury either directly or through capital markets tools like stock offerings and preferred securities. A recent report says over 130 listed companies now hold around $87 billion in Bitcoin, or 3.2% of the total supply.

It’s been called the “infinite money glitch”; companies issuing equity to buy Bitcoin.

CEO Simon Gerovich calls this a “Bitcoin gold rush” enabling Metaplanet to use Bitcoin as collateral for future business expansion and acquisitions.
