Metaplanet has extended its aggressive Bitcoin ( BTC ) accumulation strategy with today’s purchase of additional 555 BTC for approximately $54.4 million, acquired at an average price of $96,134 per coin, according to CEO Simon Gerovich, who announced the news on X.

With this latest acquisition, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 5,555 BTC, purchased at a cumulative cost of around $481.5 million, averaging $86,672 per BTC. This makes Metaplanet the largest public holder of Bitcoin outside North America, according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries .

Following the announcement of reaching 5,555 BTC, Metaplanet’s stock rose by 11.5%, closing at 477 yen ($3.33) on Wednesday.

Gerovich had previously said that Metaplanet aims to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 . With the latest purchase bringing its total holdings to 5,555 BTC, the company has now reached just over 55% of that target.

To support this goal, Metaplanet also disclosed a second $25 million bond sale to EVO FUND, intended to finance additional Bitcoin purchases. This comes just days after a previous bond issuance of the same amount to the same buyer. The newly issued bonds, like the previous ones, are zero-coupon and will mature on November 6, the company stated on X.

In addition, Metaplanet established Metaplanet Treasury Corp. earlier this year — a Miami-based subsidiary dedicated exclusively to BTC acquisition, backed by $250 million in operating capital.

The company’s bold Bitcoin strategy appears to be yielding results. In today’s announcement on X, Gerovich also noted a BTC yield of 136.7% year-to-date in 2025.
