Metaplanet, a Bitcoin-focused investment firm, has risen roughly 190% year to date (YTD), outperforming Japan's top blue-chip corporations.
Its Q2 2025 results show a significant increase compared to the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) Core 30, which gained only 7.2% during the same period. This benchmark includes companies like Toyota, Sony, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Metaplanet's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, which began in late 2024, is boosting investor trust. The company's shareholder base increased by over 350% to more than 180,000 as of June 2025, indicating substantial market interest.
The firm's growth also surpassed that of major TOPIX Core 30 members Mitsubishi, Nintendo, and SoftBank Group, which all saw double-digit but far lower rises. Meanwhile, corporations such as Toyota and Murata Manufacturing experienced small drops.
Metaplanet, formerly a hospitality company, relaunched in 2024 to focus only on Bitcoin treasury expansion, becoming Japan's only publicly traded firm offering regulated Bitcoin exposure. The company intends to fund $3.7 billion in a stock offering to purchase up to 210,000 BTC by 2027, aiming for 1% ownership of Bitcoin's circulating supply.
