Metaplanet Acquires Additional 1,009 Bitcoins, Pushing Holdings to 20,000 BTC

Key Takeaways:

• Metaplanet's latest 1009 BTC addition scales holdings total to 20,000 BTC.
• Robert Kiyosaki cites bond market cracks as a cue to buy Bitcoin.
• BTC price plummets below $108K even as hope for a comeback soars. 

On September 1, Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin treasury firm, Metaplanet, announced its latest purchase of 1,009 BTC valued at 16.48 billion yen (about $112 million). This new addition lifted the company’s total holdings to an impressive 20,000 BTC. 

Strong 30.7% BTC Yield Sparks Metaplanet’s Continued Expansion

According to its official disclosure, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings are now worth 302.3 billion yen (approximately $2.14 billion) at current exchange rates.

The company’s rapid growth in holdings shows a clear shift in pace. At the end of June 2025, Metaplanet held just over 13,000 BTC. 

This 7,000 BTC increase in just two months demonstrates how aggressively the company has been buying. The acquisitions were financed through a mix of capital market activities, including fundraising, and from operating income.

August was particularly active. On August 12, Metaplanet purchased 518 BTC. A few days later, the firm made further purchases, including an additional 103 BTC, which elevated its reserves to 18,911 Bitcoins. 

The latest purchase of 1,009 BTC then pushed it over the symbolic 20,000 mark. 

In tandem with its acquisition strategy, Metaplanet disclosed a Bitcoin Yield of 30.7% for the quarter ending September 1. This metric, which measures the value of its Bitcoin holdings against its fully diluted share count, serves as a key indicator of shareholder value derived from its crypto reserves.

Earlier in the year, Metaplanet's BTC Yield rose as high as 309.8%, reflecting both the company’s rapid pace of accumulation and the effect on shareholder value.

The firm's aggressive approach is rooted in a strategic shift that began less than a year ago. 

In December 2024, Metaplanet made a bold decision to pivot away from its previous focus on hotel management and formally adopt Bitcoin treasury operations as its core business. 

The comparison with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) in the United States has become inevitable. Both argue that holding Bitcoin acts as a hedge against inflation, currency dilution, and instability in global markets. 

Robert Kiyosaki Doubles Down on Bitcoin Accumulation Stance

While Metaplanet dominates financial headlines in Japan, veteran investor and author Robert Kiyosaki is amplifying his warnings of an impending global financial crisis, framing it as a powerful catalyst for alternative assets like Bitcoin. 

In a recent statement, the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author pointed to severe stress in government debt markets as a primary indicator of systemic risk. 

EUROPE is TOAST:

French people are on verge of Bastille Day revolt. They’re bringing out their guiottinesand heads will roll as France may be forced to admit bankruotcy.

BONDS are not safe:

America is now the biggest debtor nation in world history.

Since 2020 American…

He highlighted that European bonds have already declined by 24%, with British bonds falling 32%. U.S. Treasuries, a cornerstone of global finance, have also dropped 13% since 2020.

To Kiyosaki, these numbers show that traditional assets are under pressure and that investors should be preparing for turmoil.

The investor believes the answer lies in holding hard assets. In his words, gold, silver, and Bitcoin offer a safer path through what he sees as a coming collapse. 

Despite Bitcoin’s recent dip below $108,000, Kiyosaki's bullish outlook has not changed. He insists that the cryptocurrency remains one of the few reliable hedges against what he views as a collapsing global order.

This sentiment is already being echoed by Japanese firms. Tokyo-based LibWork recently confirmed plans to buy 28 BTC between September and December 2025. 

The company explained that it aims to protect itself from inflation and reduce the risks of holding large cash reserves. It also sees Bitcoin as a way to open doors to global growth opportunities as digital assets gain wider acceptance.
