Japan's top Bitcoin company, Metaplanet, announced on June 23 that it has purchased an additional 1,111 Bitcoins.
According to regulatory documents released on Monday, Metaplanet's total holdings have reached 11,111 Bitcoins, bringing the company's Bitcoin holdings close to Tesla's current 11,509 Bitcoins.
Metaplanet spent 17.26 billion yen (approximately $117 million) on this purchase, paying an average of just under $105,500 per Bitcoin.
According to CoinMarketCap data, as of Monday, the trading price of Bitcoin was slightly below $102,000—about 3.3% lower than the purchase price. Despite a short-term pullback, Metaplanet's average cost basis remains low at $95,560 per Bitcoin.
This announcement follows Metaplanet's purchase of 1,112 Bitcoins a week prior, when the company's total Bitcoin holdings reached 10,000 BTC. This purchase also occurred two weeks after Metaplanet became the eighth largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
After mining company Hut 8 increased its holdings, Metaplanet briefly fell to ninth place but has since reclaimed the eighth position.
The next higher-ranked company is Tesla, which holds 11,509 Bitcoins, just 398 more than Metaplanet. Industry analysts point out that given its recent record, Metaplanet may surpass Tesla's holdings by the end of this month.
The next company is Bitcoin mining company CleanSpark, which holds 12,502 Bitcoins, 1,391 more than Metaplanet's current holdings.
Several publicly listed companies have decided to launch their own Bitcoin treasuries or secure new funding for existing treasuries. A few days ago, Bitcoin-holding company Nakamoto Holdings secured $51.5 million in funding to purchase more Bitcoins.
Last Friday, Parataxis Holdings, a subsidiary of digital asset investment firm Parataxis Capital Management, announced the launch of a Bitcoin-based treasury platform in the South Korean market. Earlier this month, Norwegian crypto company K33 announced plans to raise at least 85 million Swedish kronor (approximately $8.9 million) through a stock issuance to fund the purchase of up to 1,000 Bitcoins for its reserves.
Also in Norway, earlier this month, the Norwegian blockchain exchange announced a surge of over 138% in its stock price within a day after announcing the start of Bitcoin purchases and holdings. Another recent example is the Paris-listed tech company The Blockchain Group, which acquired 182 Bitcoins worth approximately $19.6 million, bringing its total holdings to 1,653 as of June 18.
According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, at least 237 publicly listed companies currently hold Bitcoin, totaling over 832,000 Bitcoins—approximately 3.96% of the total supply of 21 million.
