Tokyo-listed Metaplanet has emerged as the sole non-US company among the world’s top 10 corporate Bitcoin treasuries, marking a turning point in global adoption.
Japan Steps Into Bitcoin’s Corporate Elite
After adding 775 more BTC worth $93 million, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin vault has now reached 18,888 BTC. This haul puts the company in 7th place globally, ahead of Trump Media’s 15,000 BTC but still behind US miner Riot Platforms with 19,239 BTC, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.
Here’s how the leaderboard stands:
- Metaplanet (Japan): 18,888 BTC (~$2.1B)
- Trump Media & Technology Group (US): 15,000 BTC
- Riot Platforms (US): 19,239 BTC
- MicroStrategy (US, top holder): 629,376 BTC
In short, Metaplanet is now the only flag bearer outside America in the corporate Bitcoin race.
From Hotels to Bitcoin Treasuries
Just two years ago, Metaplanet operated hotels and tech services. By 2024, it rebranded entirely around Bitcoin — becoming the first Japanese-listed firm to adopt a full treasury model.
The growth has been rapid:
- Surpassed 10,000 BTC target months early in June.
- Plans to reach 100,000 BTC by year-end 2025.
- Long-term goal: 210,000 BTC by 2027.

This pivot mirrors strategies pioneered by US firms but brings Asia firmly into the competition.
Market Pressure Still Looms
Even with its new status, challenges remain. Bitcoin slipped under $115,000 this week, below the firm’s latest average buy-in of $120,006. That puts short-term stress on its balance sheet, though long-term investors point to scarcity-driven upside.
Still, Metaplanet has ensured Japan is firmly on the map in the corporate Bitcoin race.
How much Bitcoin does Metaplanet hold?
Currently 18,888 BTC, the largest non-US corporate stash.
How does it compare with MicroStrategy?
MicroStrategy holds 628,946 BTC, while Metaplanet is far smaller but growing quickly.
What are Metaplanet’s future goals?
100,000 BTC by 2025 and 210,000 BTC by 2027.
Metaplanet’s climb into the global top 10 makes Japan the new face of non-US Bitcoin adoption. With bold targets ahead, the corporate race for Bitcoin dominance is now truly international.
