With this latest purchase, it has propelled itself back into the top five corporate Bitcoin holders. The Japanese firm now has a vault of 25,555 BTC, which is valued at nearly $3 billion as of September 2025.

On 22 September 2025, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich took to X to say, “Largest single Bitcoin purchase in our history. This marks the first tranche of proceeds from our public offering, lifting Metaplanet to #5 globally in corporate Bitcoin holdings.”
