Metaplanet,widely recognized in Asian financial circles as “Asia’s Strategy,” revealed on Thursday that it has just added a fresh tranche of Bitcoin valued at more than $405.48 million to its balance sheet.

The latest acquisition pushes the company’s total Bitcoin stash to 40,177 BTC, catapulting it to the position of the third‑largest corporate holder of the digital asset worldwide. In this newly announced milestone, Metaplanet overtakes MARA Holdings, which had previously occupied that spot in the rankings.

At the same time, the firm’s shares slipped 1.95 % on the Japanese exchange, settling near ¥302. The dip reflects broader selling pressure across global markets that intensified following remarks from President Donald.

Industry observers note that the move underscores a growing trend among listed firms to diversify treasuries with cryptocurrency, a shift that appears to be reshaping corporate investment strategies across the continent. According to internet sources, the transaction was executed through a series of on‑chain purchases, signaling both confidence in Bitcoin’s long‑term value and a willingness to embrace more aggressive asset‑allocation tactics.
