Metaplanet (3350) has become the fifth largest corporate bitcoin (BTC) holder, overtaking Bullish (BLSH), after acquiring 5,419 BTC for $632.53 million at an average price of $116,724 per bitcoin.
This purchase contributed to a year-to-date bitcoin yield of 395.1% for 2025. Metaplanet now holds a total of 25,555 BTC valued at approximately $2.71 billion, with an average cost basis of $106,065 per bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s head of bitcoin strategy Dylan LeClair noted that this purchase represents “just the first tranche,” as Metaplanet has recently raised $1.4 billion to continue expanding its holdings.
In a separate move, Capital B (ALCPB) acquired 551 BTC for $64.29 million at an average price of $116,672. This brings Capital B’s total bitcoin reserves to 2,800 BTC.
Despite these large purchases, both companies are currently in the red on their recent purchase as bitcoin dipped to as low as $111,700 before slightly recovering to just under $113,000.
Metaplanet’s shares finished 3% lower at 589 yen, while ALCPB slipped 1% in European trading to 1.14 euro. Both are sharply down from their all-time highs, with Metaplanet shares 73% lower, and ALCPB down 81%.
