Metaplanet’s BTC holding hit 6.79K, surpassing El Salvador’s 6.1K BTC. The firm was about 30% away from its 10K BTC target by the end of 2025. On the 12th of May, Japan’s Strategy, Metaplanet, announced an additional 1,241 Bitcoin [BTC] purchase, bringing its overall stash to 6,796 BTC. The BTC’s stash is worth over $700 million, based on current market prices. Interestingly, Metaplanet has now flipped El Salvador’s holding, which was at 6,174 BTC (worth $642 million) per Bitcoin Office data . Metaplanet’s BTC plan For comparison, El Salvador began its BTC acquisition plan in 2021, while Metaplanet jumped on the trend last year. In fact, the Tokyo-based firm has a target of buying 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. With more than six months left to go and about 30% shy of the target, the company could even surpass the 10K BTC mark if the aggressive buying trend remains on track. The firm uses the Strategy playbook, including the capital raising model based on debt and equity issuance.
