On the global bitcoin chessboard, positions are tightening and some are making double moves. While markets stagger under the blasts of monetary policy and trade tensions, a few entities are sensing favorable currents. This is the case with Metaplanet, the Tokyo-based ship which, decisively, is setting all sails to tame the crypto swell.

In brief

  • Metaplanet purchased an additional 330 bitcoins for 28.2 million dollars.
  • The company now holds 4,855 BTC, valued at over 414 million dollars.
  • A Nasdaq listing is being considered to broaden investor access.

Metaplanet keeps shopping: soon the “MicroStrategy of Asia”?

It is a company specializing in bitcoin purchases in an unstable market context , it seems. With the elegance of a diamond collector in the midst of a carat crisis, Metaplanet has just swallowed 330 new BTC, or 28.2 million dollars. And this is not an April fool’s whim: since the beginning of the month, it is the third time the company has pressed “buy”.

In a tweet as concise as a haiku, Simon Gerovich, its captain, explains:

Metaplanet acquired 330 BTC for 28.2 million dollars at $85,605 each.

The result: 4,855 BTC in the hold, worth over 414 million dollars.

A performance not missed by seasoned veterans. Michael Saylor, iconic head of Strategy, even said in February:

You should probably follow Metaplanet.

The irony is that this tweet now carries more weight than many expert analyses.

And like any good strategist, Metaplanet is already dreaming of exporting its exploits across the Pacific: a listing in the United States is under study to open its capital to the New York and Nasdaq stock exchanges. The goal? To attract Yankee investors and whisper a sweet word: bitcoin is serious business.

Bitcoin, lifeline or speculative surfing?

While American stock markets lost 5.4 trillion dollars in two days after a volley of tariffs signed by Trump, the bitcoin price only declined by 6%. A mild cold compared to a global economic flu.

And in this climate, the obsession with digital gold is spreading. Metaplanet is not alone in its frenzy. Last week, Michael Saylor also added 3,459 BTC to his holdings, for 285 million dollars. They say money sleeps. But at his place, it dreams in bright orange.

While some see it as a kamikaze strategy, Metaplanet claims it as a major plan: to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, then 21,000 BTC in 2026. And when you know that its BTC yield is 119.3% since January, the bet seems less crazy than it appears.

In summary, while the world staggers, Metaplanet accumulates. Just last week, Michael Saylor showed the way by betting big on bitcoin despite the crisis . One thing is certain: twenty-first-century strategists prefer BTC over bullion.
