Alright, the Japanese investment giant Metaplanet just made a boss move again. They bought 1,004 Bitcoin in one go, and this is their second-largest single purchase ever.
Over a thousand BTC, dropping more than $100 million in cold, hard cash.
Shopping
Metaplanet now holds 7,800 Bitcoin, worth around $807 million at today’s prices.
That’s not the biggest stash out there, but not small potatoes either. To put it in perspective, this move pushed their stash past El Salvador’s Bitcoin hoard.
They’re now the biggest public company Bitcoin holders in Asia and rank tenth worldwide. Not bad for a firm that’s been quietly but aggressively stacking sats.
Earlier this month, on May 12, Metaplanet dropped $129 million on 1,241 Bitcoin, their biggest buy to date.
And in just the last few months, they’ve been on a buying spree, 2,800 BTC in May alone, 794 in April, and 1,655 in March. This is like a serious player making big waves.
Ranking
Their Bitcoin yield? A juicy 95.6% in Q1 and 47.8% so far this quarter. That’s the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share, basically, they’re not just holding but also they’re growing their stash quite fast.
And experts say if Metaplanet grabs another 301 BTC, they’ll leapfrog Galaxy Digital Holdings, which currently holds 8,100 Bitcoin and sits at ninth place globally.
The race is heating up! But hold on, the king of corporate Bitcoin hoarding remains Michael Saylor with his firm MicroStrategy.
The guy’s sitting on 568,840 Bitcoin, worth about $59 billion. Saylor’s strategy is still the gold standard, leading corporate Bitcoin growth with a massive 77% of the increase so far this year.
Twist
And guess what? Saylor’s not done. He teased another big buy coming this Monday with a cryptic post on X, saying, never short a man who buys orange ink by the barrel. Translation? He’s likely doubling down, guys.

Weird times. Corporations and businesses are now the biggest net buyers of Bitcoin this year, outpacing ETFs, governments, and even retail investors.
The big fish are gobbling up Bitcoin like it’s the last cannoli at the family dinner. Imagine reading this five years ago.
