Japanese-based Metaplanet has seen its Bitcoin holdings reach the 5,000 BTC mark following a fresh acquisition. The latest purchase follows a Bitcoin-buying spree that shows little to no signs of waning.<\/p>\n
Metaplanet has clinched the 5,000 Bitcoin milestone after snagging a fresh haul of BTC. According to an announcement on X<\/a>, the Japanese-based company has scoped an additional 145 BTC for $13.6 million.<\/p>\n Per the announcement, Metaplanet purchased each BTC at an average price of $93,327 per Bitcoin. At the moment, Metaplanet\u2019s total Bitcoin holding sits at an impressive 5,000 BTC, which the company says has given it a BTC yield of 121.1% YTD.<\/p>\n \u201cMetaplanet acquired 145 BTC for approximately 1.926 billion yen (approximately 13.28 million yen per BTC), achieving a BTC yield of 121.1% so far in 2025,\u201d said Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich.<\/p>\n A bird\u2019s eye view reveals that Metaplanet has splurged $428 million to rack up 5,000 BTC at an average price of $85,621 per Bitcoin. The latest acquisition follows Metaplanet\u2019s purchase of 330 BTC<\/a> for $28 million to bring its holdings just shy of the 5,000 BTC mark.<\/p>\n Metaplanet has been stacking up the largest cryptocurrency after pivoting to a BTC-first strategy in the same mold as MicroStrategy. Early in the week, Microstrategy added 6556 BTC<\/a> to its balance sheet to bring its total holdings to 538,200 BTC.<\/p>\n Gerovich disclosed that the latest BTC purchase brings the Tokyo-based firm closer to its annual target. Metaplanet says the 5,000 BTC milestone brings it to the halfway point for its target of racking up 10K Bitcoin by the end of the year.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have reached 50% of our initial goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025,\u201d said Gerovich. \u201cThis is a big step forward in our aim to become one of the world\u2019s leading bitcoin holding companies.\u201d<\/p>\n Metaplanet is exploring new strategies to fund its BTC accumulation spree, issuing zero-interest bonds for BTC purchases. The firm has tapped Eric Trump to serve on its Strategic Board of Advisors to advance its Bitcoin push.<\/p>\n Bitcoin price is yet to react to the reports of Metaplanet buying BTC, with prices trading sideways. Bitcoin currently trades well above $90,000, sending Satoshi Nakamoto\u2019s bitcoin holdings<\/a> above $100 billion.<\/p>\n The post Metaplanet Acquires 145 Bitcoin, Bringing Total Holdings To 5,000 BTC<\/a> appeared first on CoinGape<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Japanese-based Metaplanet has seen its Bitcoin holdings reach the 5,000 BTC mark following a fresh acquisition.
