The company has made four Bitcoin purchases this month. The third acquisition was just made on October 10, following earlier ones on October 1 and 7.

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said the goal was to accumulate at least 1,000 BTC. With the new acquisition, the company is now only 145 BTC shy of its target. It appears that Metaplanet has no plans to sell its holdings soon.

The company’s accumulation positions it as the 17th largest public company holder of Bitcoin, according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries. Continuing at this pace, Metaplanet is poised to surpass Hong Kong-based Meitu, which holds 940 BTC, becoming the largest holder of Bitcoin among Asian public companies.
