Japanese publicly traded company Metaplanet has committed $5 billion to its U.S. subsidiary with the goal of accumulating 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027, representing about 1% of the total Bitcoin supply and valued at approximately $23 billion. This target would make Metaplanet the second-largest Bitcoin holder after MicroStrategy. Recently, Metaplanet has aggressively expanded its Bitcoin holdings, purchasing 5,500 Bitcoin worth $500 million in the last 30 days alone, and currently holds 15,555 Bitcoin, surpassing Tesla's 11,509 Bitcoin and exceeding the total Bitcoin holdings of the entire country of Bhutan. The company plans to leverage its growing Bitcoin treasury to acquire cash-flow businesses, including a potential Japanese digital bank, as part of its broader acquisition strategy. Separately, Tokyo-listed energy consulting firm Remixpoint has become the first publicly listed company in Japan to pay its CEO's entire salary in Bitcoin. Remixpoint recently raised ¥31.5 billion ($215 million) to expand its Bitcoin treasury, aiming to grow its holdings to 3,000 Bitcoin. These developments reflect a growing trend among Japanese companies to integrate Bitcoin into their corporate strategies and compensation models.
