Metaplanet intensifies Bitcoin purchases and enters top 10 Hodlers

Last Updated on 17 June 2025 by CryptoTips.eu

Metaplanet, the Japanese former hotel developer that now buys Bitcoin in bulk, announced last week that it would take out a 5 billion yen loan to buy even more crypto. Investors in both Asia and Europe responded enthusiastically.

Bonds

Just as geopolitical tensions are dominating the markets, the stock of one Japanese company is still doing well. Metaplanet, listed on the Standard Market in Tokyo, has just announced the issuance of its 18th series of bonds, good for a proceeds of $210 million (more than 5.4 billion yen). And guess what this mountain of money is going to be used for? That’s right, buy even more Bitcoin.

Metaplanet is thus entering into the top 10 of largest Bitcoin Hodlers among companies for the first time. You can follow them neatly thanks to Bitcoin Treasuries. Of course, Strategy by Michael Saylor is still in first place, followed by various Bitcoin mining companies such as Mara Holdings, Riot Platforms and Cleanspark. But as the first company that does not come from America or Canada, the Japanese Metaplanet is now in 10th place.

Compared to the beginning of the year, when Metaplanet unveiled its new strategy, the share is now trading 430% higher.
