Japanese-listed company Metaplanet has just made a big splash in the market by continuing to increase its Bitcoin portfolio by 1,009 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 20,000 BTC.
As of the end of August 2025, Metaplanet had increased its holdings to 18,991 BTC , worth approximately $2.08 billion , after purchasing an additional 103 BTC on August 25. At this rate of accumulation, the company is well on its way to achieving its ambitious goal of owning 1% of the total global Bitcoin supply by 2027 .
The Metaplanet event continues to “collect” Bitcoin strongly in the context of the cryptocurrency market is experiencing many fluctuations. Bitcoin price has remained around the high level after many adjustments, especially since President Donald Trump – who has repeatedly affirmed his support for digital assets – returned to the White House at the end of 2024. The Trump administration is considered to have a more friendly stance towards cryptocurrencies than the previous period, which is creating a wave of optimism among investors.
Some analysts say Metaplanet’s move bears similarities to the “Bitcoin Standard” strategy adopted by billionaire Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy , which holds more than 200,000 BTC and has demonstrated its ability to turn Bitcoin into a strategic reserve asset for businesses. Metaplanet’s adoption of this model could pave the way for a host of other Asian conglomerates to enter the market.
