Some companies buy gold during geopolitical crises. Metaplanet buys Bitcoin. And not just any modest handful—in true Discworld fashion, they’ve stuffed their digital coffers with 1,111 BTC just as the price tripped and stumbled under $99,000. The market wobbled. CEOs panicked. Wizards probably considered summoning a new currency. But Metaplanet? Stared at the chaos, nodded, and said, “Aye, we’ll take some of that, thank you.”
On June 23, Metaplanet revealed its latest party trick: spending $118.2 million to add a mathemagically symmetrical chunk of Bitcoin. This brings their total to—you guessed it, because even accountants know the power of a good motif—11,111 BTC.
To put this in perspective: they’re now the 8th largest corporate hoarder of BTC, practically brushing shoulders with Tesla, who are probably glancing nervously at their own wallets right now. Is this the start of a high-stakes Bitcoin arms race? Only time (and possibly a wizard) will tell.
Simon Gerovich, CEO and chief number-boaster, bounced onto X (the social media, not the variable in an algebra problem) to trumpet the news. “BTC yield 306.7% year-to-date!” he crowed, probably while spinning dramatically in his office chair.
Metaplanet has acquired 1,111 BTC for ~$118.2 million at ~$106,408 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 306.7% YTD 2025. As of 6/23/2025, we hold 11,111 $BTC acquired for ~$1.07 billion at ~$95,869 per bitcoin. $MTPLF 🧙♂️✨

Meanwhile, GameStop and Semler Scientific raced to convert their own boring old money into sweet digital magic beans. Everyone wants a piece of the blockchain pie, even if no one’s quite sure how to slice it.
Yet, in a plot twist worthy of Unseen University, Metaplanet’s stock price did a dramatic faint—down more than 5% to 1,692 yen, the financial equivalent of dropping your ice cream after showing it off to your friends. (Fun fact: The 52-week low is 59 yen. That’s not a price, it’s loose change.) According to Yahoo Finance, though, the stock has soared 101% in a month—mathematicians are still working on the chart scaling, and the graph lines now resemble spaghetti.
Bitcoin’s price is down, Metaplanet’s holdings are way up, and the number 11,111 has never looked so smug. 🚀🍕
