MetaPlanet took a big step in his Bitcoin acquisition strategy by becoming the largest Bitcoin owner in Asia and overtaking the US company Coinbase globally. The company listed in Tokyo now has 10,000 BTC after it has acquired another 1,112 BTC for around $ 117.2 million. CEO Simon Gerovich announced this on June 16.

The acquisition was financed by a bond emission of $ 210 million at EVO Fund. The bonds are interestless and are due in December 2025, but can also be repaid earlier if necessary. The company stated that the funds recorded are used entirely for the purchase of Bitcoin to strengthen its treasury strategy with a targeted focus on crypto accumulation.
With its current stocks, MetaPlanet is ahead of Coinbase, which, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data, holds 9,267 BTC worth around $ 986.78 million. With the 10,000 BTC, which holds MetAplanet, the company has a lead of 733 BTC and is the eight -largest company owner worldwide.
In recent years, METAPLANET has pursued a consistent strategy for financing Bitcoin acquisitions by issuing debt bonds. On June 2, the company acquired 1,088 BTC and thus increased its stock to 8,888 BTC before the latest transaction. The latest bond emission is the 18th series of ordinary bonds of the company, each of which is structured to support the acquisition of Bitcoin.
Metaplanet originally targeted 21,000 BTC by 2026 as part of its “21 million plan”, but at the beginning of June the company corrected its goals. The new goals of the company include the acquisition of 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and reaching 210,000 BTC by 2027. This final number would make up 1 % of the total fixed Bitcoin offer of 21 million coins.
In order to support these goals, Metabanet has taken steps to secure long -term capital. In January 2025, the company granted the EVO fund 21 million share rights, which were divided into five tranches with variable prices and without discounts. On June 6, the company started a 5.4 billion dollar stock emission plan, which provides for the issue of 555 million shares over two years. According to the company, the proceeds from this program are used exclusively for the purchase of Bitcoin.
METAPLANET evaluates its acquisition program based on an internal metric called BTC Yield. It measures the amount of Bitcoin, which is held per watered stock, and offers a ratio that captures the effects of both acquisitions and stock emissions. On June 16, the BTC return for the current quarter was 87.2 %. In the previous quarter, the key figure reached a peak of 309.8 %, which was due to extensive Bitcoin purchases and a favorable stock structure.
The BTC return is an important performance indicator for the company’s strategy and helps the participants to measure the effectiveness of capital expenditure. It not only reflects how much Bitcoin the company has, but also how efficient it is used per equity unit.
Metaplanets 10,000 BTC benchmark underlines the quick implementation of its Bitcoin-First strategy. With aggressive goals and existing financing mechanisms, the company has set up a clear timetable for the purchase of up to 1 % of all Bitcoins in circulation by 2027.
