Metaplanet Becomes 6th-Largest Public Bitcoin Holder
Metaplanet now holds 20,000 BTC, surpassing Riot Platforms and ranking 6th among public companies.
- Metaplanet now holds 20,000 BTC in reserves
- Surpasses Riot Platforms in public Bitcoin holdings
- Climbs to 6th spot among public BTC holders
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made headlines by climbing the ranks of corporate Bitcoin holders. The company now holds 20,000 BTC, overtaking Riot Platforms and positioning itself as the 6th-largest public holder of Bitcoin.
Metaplanet has rapidly increased its Bitcoin exposure this year, aligning its strategy with macroeconomic concerns like inflation and currency devaluation. Its aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin signals a strong long-term belief in the digital asset as a store of value.
Riot Platforms, previously ahead of Metaplanet, has now been pushed to the 7th position. The shift highlights a growing trend among non-mining firms choosing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.
Why Is This Significant?
Bitcoin adoption by public companies continues to grow as traditional firms hedge against fiat risks. Metaplanet’s climb into the top 10 – and now top 6 – showcases how corporate treasury strategies are evolving globally.
Unlike firms that rely on mining revenue, Metaplanet’s strategy focuses solely on Bitcoin accumulation. This makes their holdings more comparable to those of MicroStrategy, which remains the top corporate BTC holder with over 150,000 BTC.
This development also signals that Asia-based firms are increasingly stepping into the crypto spotlight, diversifying the geographical spread of Bitcoin adoption.
What’s Next for Metaplanet?
As Metaplanet continues to accumulate Bitcoin, it may further challenge other top holders like Marathon Digital and Tesla. If the firm maintains its current pace, it could soon be among the top 5 public BTC holders globally.
The move reaffirms Bitcoin’s growing role not just as an investment asset, but as a corporate treasury standard for forward-looking companies.
