Metaplanet just scooped up 1,111 more Bitcoin, pushing its total to a jaw-dropping 11,111 BTC. This move catapults the Japanese firm into the top eight global Bitcoin holders—beating out Hut8. But here’s the twist: while stacking sats, their stock fell 4% thanks to scary Iran-Israel tensions.
Bitcoin Binge Mode Activated
The company spent around $118.2 million on this latest buy. Their total crypto stash is now worth over $1.07 billion. In 2025 alone, their BTC pile has surged over 300%. That’s not just good—it’s borderline ridiculous.
Metaplanet kicked off the year with just 1,000 BTC. Now they’ve launched a $5.4 billion war chest to gobble up 210,000 BTC by 2027. That’s 1% of Bitcoin’s entire supply. Humble much?
Funds, Friends, and EVO Moves
This big buy was funded with cash from their recent stock rights deal with EVO FUND. After securing nearly 559 million yen, they went on a BTC shopping spree—no coupon code needed.
Market Mayhem from Middle East Drama
Despite the buy-the-dip vibes, crypto markets went full chaos mode over the weekend. The US struck nuclear sites in Iran. Iran responded by threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz—hello oil shock.
All this drama caused Metaplanet’s stock to nosedive, even after a strong 400% rally this year. Still, big sharks like Citigroup and Capital Group have been quietly buying in.
