Bitcoin Reserves are soaring as Metaplanet makes headlines with its latest acquisition. The company recently announced the purchase of 775 Bitcoin, equivalent to approximately $93 million, at an average price of $120,006 per BTC. This strategic move has brought Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 18,888 BTC as of August 18, 2025.
Metaplanet’s Expanding Bitcoin Reserves
According to their official filing, Metaplanet’s cumulative Bitcoin investment now amounts to approximately $1.94 billion. These reserves were acquired at an average cost of $102,653 per BTC. This Tokyo-listed firm is often compared to Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) due to its Bitcoin-focused treasury approach. Their continuous streak of weekly acquisitions has kept the market buzzing.
Last year marked the beginning of Metaplanet’s aggressive buying strategy. On August 4, the company acquired 463 BTC valued at $53 million, followed by another purchase of 518 BTC worth $61.4 million on August 12. Such acquisitions underscore the company’s ambition to consistently expand its Bitcoin reserves.
Impact on the Asian Market
Metaplanet’s approach has notably influenced many Asian companies to consider Bitcoin as a potential treasury asset. This wave of interest is further fueled by increasing regulatory clarity within the region. Just last week, Taiwan’s WiseLink joined the trend by committing $10 million through a convertible note to Nasdaq-listed Top Win International. This move strengthens WiseLink’s “Bitcoin + Cross-Border Finance” framework and highlights a growing trend of integrating digital assets into traditional business strategies.
Other Asian corporates are also accelerating their Bitcoin strategies. For instance, South Korea’s K Wave Media has teamed up with Galaxy Digital to advance its BTC treasury plans, while Singapore’s Genius Group has raised its target from 1,000 BTC to 10,000 BTC.
Record-Breaking Quarter for Metaplanet
Thanks to its Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet reported its highest quarterly performance in Q2. CEO Simon Gerovich described it as the company’s best quarter in history. Ordinary profit soared to $117.8 million, overturning a previous $46.7 million loss. Net income climbed to $75.1 million from a $33.7 million loss the previous year.
Revenue saw a 41% increase quarter-on-quarter, reaching $8.4 million, with gross profit rising by 38% to $5.5 million. Additionally, the company recorded a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 468.1% in 2025.
Gerovich noted, “We continue to project full-year revenue of ¥3.4 billion and operating profit of ¥2.5 billion, supported by recurring cash-secured-put premiums and operational performance. Our positive operating cash flow enables us to reinvest capital raised in equity markets into Bitcoin acquisitions, aiming to compound NAV per share over the long term.”
