Metaplanet now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador

Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings, surpassing even El Salvador’s national reserves. Their recent acquisition of 1,241 Bitcoin for approximately $129 million brings their total to 6,796 BTC, currently valued at around $707 million. This places them as the largest Bitcoin holder in Asia and tenth globally, according to BiTBO. Their average purchase price sits at $91,000 per Bitcoin.

This latest purchase, made at their highest price point yet ($101,843 per coin), represents a continuation of an aggressive accumulation strategy initiated in April 2024. Previous months saw substantial purchases: 5,555 BTC on May 7th, 18,586 BTC across four April acquisitions, and 18,925 BTC spread across six March purchases – each month exceeding the previous in volume. CEO Simon Gerovich proudly announced on X that Metaplanet now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador, highlighting the firm’s rapid growth and ambitious goals. The firm’s impressive Bitcoin Yield for the current quarter stands at 38%, following a remarkable 95.6% yield in Q1 2025.

Meanwhile, Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, hinted at a potential further Bitcoin acquisition for his firm. A cryptic X post featuring a screenshot of the “Saylor Tracker,” accompanied by the phrase “Connect the dots,” suggests an imminent announcement. This tactic mirrors previous instances where similar posts preceded official announcements of BTC purchases. MicroStrategy’s current Bitcoin holdings are reported at 555,450 BTC, valued at roughly $57.8 billion. These developments highlight the continued institutional interest in Bitcoin and its growing importance in global finance. The actions of both Metaplanet and MicroStrategy demonstrate a strong belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value and potential.
