Metaplanet and Strategy Expand Their Bitcoin Reserves

Metaplanet and Strategy added over $568 million worth of Bitcoin in early July.

Two Public Companies Accelerate Bitcoin Accumulation

As Bitcoin continues its upward momentum, two major public companies have made significant purchases. Tokyo-listed Metaplanet acquired 797 BTC worth around $96 million, bringing its total holdings to 16,352 BTC. Meanwhile, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought 4,225 BTC for $472.5 million.

Together, these firms have invested more than half a billion dollars in Bitcoin in July alone — a strong signal of growing corporate confidence in BTC as a long-term asset.

Metaplanet Uses Bitcoin as Collateral for M&A

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich told the Financial Times that the company plans to leverage its BTC reserves to fund acquisitions of profitable businesses, especially in digital finance.

The approach mirrors Strategy’s model: raise capital through equity and debt offerings, convert it into BTC, and then use those holdings as collateral for expansion.

Metaplanet has issued zero-interest bonds and exercised stock acquisition rights. It also plans a $5 billion capital injection into its Florida-based subsidiary.
