Metaplanet Tops 25,555 BTC, Eyes 30K BTC by Year-End
Metaplanet has boosted its Bitcoin holdings to 25,555 BTC after completing a $632 million purchase of 5,419 BTC at an average price of $116,724. This purchase marks the Tokyo-listed crypto treasury firm’s largest single BTC acquisition. Its cumulative Bitcoin investments now total ¥398.21 billion ($2.7 billion) at an average cost of $106,065 per BTC.
The firm’s year-to-date Bitcoin yield stands at 395.1%. Metaplanet ranks as the fifth-largest public corporate BTC holder, trailing MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, 21Shares and Bitcoin Standard Treasury. To fund further acquisitions, Metaplanet raised $837 million through international share offerings and plans to issue 385 million new shares to generate an additional $1.4 billion.
Metaplanet has raised its year-end Bitcoin target from 10,000 BTC to 30,000 BTC. It also launched Metaplanet Income Corp., a US subsidiary in Miami with $15 million in initial capital, focusing on bitcoin income generation and derivatives trading. Leadership will be shared by Simon Gerovich, Dylan LeClair and Darren Winia.
Despite a Bitcoin price pullback to $112,000 and more than $1 billion in long-position liquidations, Metaplanet’s stock is up nearly 70% year-to-date, buoyed by an FTSE Russell mid-cap upgrade. Active BTC accumulation during price dips underscores growing corporate confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.
Bullish
Metaplanet’s aggressive BTC acquisition and raised year-end target signals strong corporate demand. In the short term, large-scale buying absorbs market liquidity and supports Bitcoin prices, especially amid pullbacks and long-position liquidations. Over the long term, continued accumulation and corporate adoption foster market stability and reinforce Bitcoin’s narrative as a store of value. The planned $1.4 billion in future share-funded purchases indicates sustained upward pressure on BTC.
