Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based investment firm, has just taken its Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC after buying 1,088 more coins. According to official figures, each of the newly acquired Bitcoins cost about $107,770, for a total outlay of roughly $117 million.<\/p>\n

Based on reports, the company\u2019s average cost across all its Bitcoin<\/a> purchases stands at $93,354 per BTC. With 8,888 coins now in hand, Metaplanet has so far invested close to $830 million. At today\u2019s prices, that stash is worth around $932 million, leaving the firm with an unrealized gain of nearly $103 million.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet Hits Milestone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Metaplanet<\/a> began buying Bitcoin in April 2024. Since then, it has moved faster than many long\u2010time holders. Block Inc., which started its Bitcoin program in October 2020, currently has 8,584 BTC, making it just behind Metaplanet.<\/p>\n

Cost And Market Value<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the latest update, Metaplanet spent about $117 million on its most recent 1,088 BTC purchase. In total, the firm has poured nearly $830 million into its Bitcoin treasury. As of June 2, 2025, those 8,888 coins are valued at approximately $932 million.<\/p>\n

That leaves an unrealized gain of around $102.5 million on the books. The report also shows that Metaplanet\u2019s Bitcoin Yield hit 96% between January 1 and March 31, 2025. From April 1 to June 2, 2025, the yield stands at 66%.<\/p>\n


\nShifting Corporate Strategies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other firms are following the same path. Strategy<\/a> holds 580,250 Bitcoins and has hinted at another buy on social media. DDC Enterprise just added 79 BTC to bring its total to 100. Jetking, a firm listed in India, added nearly six coins and now holds 21.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brazilian company M\u00e9liuz is planning a public share sale to raise R$450 million (about $78 million) with the aim of buying Bitcoin. Based on reports, DDC\u2019s CEO Norma Chu said Bitcoin\u2019s limited supply and 24\/7 liquidity fit their treasury needs.<\/p>\n

Global And Sovereign Moves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Governments are also stepping in. El Salvador has piled up 6,195 BTC in its national reserve. Across borders, Panama\u2019s state\u2010owned bank plans to open Bitcoin savings accounts and allow tax payments in crypto.<\/p>\n

Panama City\u2019s mayor, Mayer Mizrachi, announced these moves during the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas. Tower Bank in Panama also agreed to accept cryptocurrency tax payments, signaling growing official support.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metaplanet has set a target to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. With 8,888 coins already secured, the firm is at nearly 89% of that goal. The company\u2019s CEO, Simon Gerovich, marked the milestone with a post celebrating the lucky \u201c8888\u201d figure.<\/p>\n
