The investment company Metaplanet, focused on Bitcoin, has surged nearly 190% year-to-date, outpacing Japan's largest and most liquid blue-chip companies.
On Wednesday, Metaplanet released its Q2 2025 financial report. The report showed that the company's year-to-date performance dwarfs the average increase of 7.2% for the TOPIX Core 30, which tracks giants like Toyota, Sony, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Metaplanet's outstanding performance in 2025 stems from its aggressive Bitcoin (BTC) transformation, as the Tokyo-listed company expands its treasury through regular purchases.
Investors are betting that Metaplanet's Bitcoin strategy will pay off. According to the report, as of June 2025, the number of Metaplanet shareholders has climbed to over 180,000, a 350% increase since the Bitcoin accumulation strategy began in Q4 2024.
In addition to outperforming the index's average increase, Metaplanet has also surpassed the performance of popular individual stocks.
The report indicates that Metaplanet's year-to-date increase even exceeds that of the best-performing TOPIX Core 30 members, including Mitsubishi, Nintendo, and SoftBank Group. These companies recorded double-digit increases during the same period but still lagged significantly behind Metaplanet.
Other index members such as Japan Tobacco, Mizuho Financial Group, and Tokio Marine Holdings recorded modest increases. Meanwhile, companies like Toyota and Murata Manufacturing experienced slight declines, highlighting the disparity in market sentiment.
Metaplanet was originally a hotel company that repositioned itself as a Bitcoin accumulation tool in 2024, mimicking the strategy of the American firm Strategy. According to the company, it remains the only one in Japan to offer regulated Bitcoin exposure within a public company framework.
Metaplanet previously announced its goal to acquire 1% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2027. This means the company plans to purchase 210,000 BTC over the next two years.
To help achieve this goal, the company announced on August 1 that it would raise $3.7 billion through a stock issuance. The company stated its intention to actively seek equity financing as part of its Bitcoin strategy.
In August, the company has already spent over $100 million on Bitcoin. On August 4, Metaplanet purchased 463 BTC for $53.7 million. The company subsequently made a $61.4 million Bitcoin purchase on Tuesday.
