Metaplanet Buys 1,005 More Bitcoins to Reach 13,350 BTC, Surpassing Galaxy Digital and CleanSpark
With this move, the company became the world’s fifth-largest public Bitcoin holder, ahead of giants such as Galaxy Digital (12,830 BTC) and CleanSpark (12,502 BTC) in the institutional BTC investment rankings.
The company's CEO Simon Gerovich said on Monday that the new Bitcoin purchase was made at an average price of $107,601, and the total portfolio is worth about $1.4 billion at current market value.
“Just three months ago we announced that we had reached 3,350 BTC, now we are at 13,350 BTC with another 10,000 BTC added to that,” Gerovich said.
210,000 BTC Target
Earlier this month, Metaplanet announced its goal of holding 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. The company’s aggressive strategy shows that institutional investors’ interest in Bitcoin continues unabated.
On the same day, Metaplanet announced that it had issued new non-interest-bearing bonds worth 30 billion yen (about $208 million). The bonds will mature on December 29, 2025. Some of the funds will be used to repurchase and cancel previously issued interest-bearing and secured bonds, while the rest will be used to purchase Bitcoin.
Metaplanet shares were up 9.9% on Japanese markets Monday morning. The company's shares have gained 53.5% in the past month and 370.7% since the beginning of the year.
In terms of institutional BTC holdings, MicroStrategy is still at the top of the list. The company continues to lead by holding a total of 592,345 BTC, including 245 BTC it purchased last week.
Metaplanet's latest investment opens the door to a new era in institutional acceptance of Bitcoin and clearly demonstrates the company's long-term vision in this area.

Deutsche Bank: The "fifth wave of tech stock rally" in US stocks since late July has peaked, prepare for a "V-shaped reversal"
Deutsche Bank has downgraded its rating on US technology stocks from overweight to neutral, noting that the fifth round of tech stock rally since July 29 is approaching the upper boundary of the long-term trend channel. The current upside potential is only about 4 percentage points, while historical trends indicate downside risks could reach 16 percentage points. Funds are expected to rotate into other sectors, and the European market, with its lower tech exposure, is likely to benefit relatively. However, Deutsche Bank emphasized that the long-term outperformance trend of technology stocks remains unchanged.
How expensive is AI computing power rental in the US? "Spot price" is twice that of long-term contracts, and four times the return threshold for cloud service providers.
The short-term spot leasing price for AI computing power reaches as high as $40 to $50 billion per gigawatt per year, while the price for long-term contracts is only $20 billion per year, and the breakeven threshold for supercomputing cloud operators is around $12 billion per year. However, according to Goldman Sachs, the fundamental reason why hyperscale cloud providers like Google rent computing power at such significant premiums is that their in-house capacity cannot keep up; once their own capacity catches up, the spot premium will disappear.
