In a decisive move during the latest Bitcoin price dip, two major corporate players—Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and Japan’s Metaplanet—have collectively invested nearly $200 million to expand their Bitcoin reserves. This bold action highlights a growing trend among global firms to leverage market corrections as strategic entry points into digital assets.
Strategy’s Calculated Expansion
Strategy, led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, announced the acquisition of 705 BTC between May 26 and May 30, 2025, at an average price of $106,495 per coin, totaling $75.1 million. This purchase brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 580,955 BTC, representing about 2.8% of Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins. Notably, this latest buy was funded entirely through the sale of preferred stock (STRK and STRF), rather than common stock, marking a shift in the company’s capital-raising approach .
With a total cost basis of $40.68 billion and an average acquisition price of $70,023 per BTC, Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury is now valued at over $60 billion, giving the company an unrealized gain of approximately $20 billion. The firm also reported a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 16.9% and a quarter-to-date yield of 5.4%, underscoring the growing value of its crypto strategy .
Metaplanet’s Aggressive Accumulation
Meanwhile, Tokyo-based Metaplanet has continued its rapid Bitcoin accumulation, purchasing 1,088 BTC for 16.89 billion yen (about $117.5 million) at an average price of $108,051 per coin. This latest acquisition brings Metaplanet’s total holdings to 8,888 BTC, valued at roughly $930 million . The company’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, has set an ambitious goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by year-end, positioning Metaplanet among the world’s top 10 corporate Bitcoin holders .
Metaplanet’s aggressive strategy is inspired by Strategy’s playbook, with the firm leveraging both stock rights and bond issuances to fund its Bitcoin purchases. The company reported a remarkable 66.3% BTC yield for the second quarter and a cumulative return of 225.4% for the year, aiming to maintain a 35% quarterly return as it cements its leadership in Asia’s corporate crypto landscape .
A Broader Trend in Corporate Crypto Adoption
The synchronized moves by Strategy and Metaplanet reflect a broader shift among corporations and even sovereign entities, who are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset. These acquisitions, executed during a period of heightened market volatility, signal growing confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition and a willingness to capitalize on short-term corrections for long-term gain .
