Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based investment firm, has just taken its Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC after buying 1,088 more coins. According to official figures, each of the newly acquired Bitcoins cost about $107,770, for a total outlay of roughly $117 million.
According to the latest update, Metaplanet spent about $117 million on its most recent 1,088 BTC purchase. In total, the firm has poured nearly $830 million into its Bitcoin treasury. As of June 2, 2025, those 8,888 coins are valued at approximately $932 million.
That leaves an unrealized gain of around $102.5 million on the books. The report also shows that Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Yield hit 96% between January 1 and March 31, 2025. From April 1 to June 2, 2025, the yield stands at 66%.
Meanwhile, Brazilian company Méliuz is planning a public share sale to raise R$450 million (about $78 million) with the aim of buying Bitcoin. Based on reports, DDC’s CEO Norma Chu said Bitcoin’s limited supply and 24/7 liquidity fit their treasury needs.
Governments are also stepping in. El Salvador has piled up 6,195 BTC in its national reserve. Across borders, Panama’s state‐owned bank plans to open Bitcoin savings accounts and allow tax payments in crypto.
Panama City’s mayor, Mayer Mizrachi, announced these moves during the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas. Tower Bank in Panama also agreed to accept cryptocurrency tax payments, signaling growing official support.
Metaplanet has set a target to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. With 8,888 coins already secured, the firm is at nearly 89% of that goal. The company’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, marked the milestone with a post celebrating the lucky “8888” figure.
