Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin portfolio, pushing its total holdings beyond $400 million after a recent acquisition.

In its latest move, Metaplanet purchased 330 BTC for approximately $28.2 million, securing the assets at an average price of $85,605 per Bitcoin. With this addition, the company now holds 4,855 BTC, valued at around $414 million as of April 21.

This substantial investment reflects a year-to-date return of over 119% on Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy, showcasing the firm’s aggressive approach to digital asset accumulation.

Aiming for 21,000 BTC by 2026

Metaplanet’s recent purchase is part of a broader strategy to accumulate 21,000 BTC by 2026. This long-term vision highlights the firm’s commitment to positioning itself as a leader in Bitcoin adoption within Asia.

The company has been frequently compared to MicroStrategy — a U.S.-based business intelligence firm known for its large Bitcoin reserves — earning Metaplanet the nickname “Asia’s MicroStrategy.”

Among the Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holders

With current holdings valued at over $400 million, Metaplanet is now considered the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia and ranks among the top ten globally. This growing presence marks a significant shift in corporate investment behavior across the region.

Despite broader economic uncertainties, including concerns around global trade policies and tariffs, institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to rise, contributing to the overall maturity and liquidity of the crypto market.
