Metaplanet Surpasses Coinbase With 10,000 BTC, Now Ranked 9th Among Top Bitcoin Holders

Metaplanet Surpasses Coinbase With 10,000 BTC, Becoming 9th-Largest Public Holder

Tokyo-based Metaplanet (TSE: 3350) has expanded its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC, overtaking U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase to become the ninth-largest holder of bitcoin among publicly traded companies.

The latest acquisition, announced by CEO Simon Gerovich on X, involved the purchase of 1,112 BTC for $117.2 million, executed at an average price of $105,435 per coin.

This brings Metaplanet’s total BTC holdings above Coinbase’s 9,267 BTC, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.com.

Metaplanet has emerged as one of the most aggressive corporate bitcoin buyers in Asia, steadily increasing its exposure amid growing institutional interest and broader global adoption of digital assets. The move aligns with its strategic commitment to position bitcoin as a core treasury asset.

With this latest purchase, Metaplanet cements its place among the top 10 publicly listed Bitcoin holders globally — a list still led by MicroStrategy, which holds over 226,000 BTC.
