Capital Group becomes top investor in Bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet, boosting institutional crypto confidence.
- Capital Group becomes largest investor in Metaplanet
- Metaplanet holds Bitcoin as its treasury reserve
- Institutional adoption of Bitcoin is accelerating
Capital Group, one of the world’s largest asset managers with $2.8 trillion under management, has made a significant move into the Bitcoin space by becoming the largest shareholder in Metaplanet.
Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based public company, has gained attention for adopting Bitcoin as a key part of its treasury strategy. Capital Group now owns a 6.12% stake in the company, highlighting growing institutional interest in Bitcoin and Bitcoin-focused firms.
This move marks a powerful signal that traditional finance is embracing the digital asset revolution—not just by holding Bitcoin directly, but also by backing companies that hold it on their balance sheets.
Metaplanet: Japan’s Bitcoin Treasury Pioneer
Metaplanet has been compared to MicroStrategy for its bold Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Since announcing its shift earlier this year, the company has purchased over 140 BTC, positioning itself as Japan’s first publicly listed Bitcoin treasury firm.
The move was aimed at protecting its capital from yen devaluation and global financial instability. Now, with Capital Group’s backing, Metaplanet could deepen its Bitcoin reserves and serve as a case study for similar companies in Asia and beyond.
Institutions Are Making Their Move into Bitcoin
Capital Group’s investment is the latest in a series of bullish institutional steps into Bitcoin. From BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF to pension funds gaining exposure through financial instruments, Bitcoin is becoming part of mainstream financial portfolios.
What makes this investment notable is that it represents more than just price speculation. By backing Metaplanet, Capital Group is betting on a business model built around Bitcoin—indicating long-term belief in its role as a treasury asset.
