Metaplanet Scoops Up More Bitcoin as Price Explodes
As Bitcoin smashes through new all-time highs, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is doubling down on its crypto strategy.
The company has acquired another large batch of BTC, reinforcing its aggressive digital asset accumulation.
The Tokyo-based firm has now amassed over 16,000 BTC, following a recent purchase of nearly 800 coins worth close to $94 million. This latest buy came at an average cost of roughly $117,000 per Bitcoin, just as the asset soared past $121,000. Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings are currently valued at around $1.64 billion, with its 2025 performance already showing a return of more than 435%.
Over the past month alone, Metaplanet added more than 7,400 BTC to its balance sheet, with 3,000 of those bought just this past week. The move mirrors growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, with inflows into spot ETFs crossing $2.7 billion in the past seven days. MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor has also indicated more BTC buys are on the horizon, keeping competition for supply intense.
Despite these bold moves, Metaplanet’s stock has yet to show a dramatic response. Analysts, however, remain bullish, projecting a significant upside in its share price and pointing to a declining mNAV ratio that could make the stock more attractive as its crypto reserves grow.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s surge has pushed its market cap to $2.4 trillion, lifting it above household names like Amazon and Alphabet. Trading volume has jumped by a third in 24 hours, crossing $60 billion, while futures activity and short liquidations have both surged—signs that the bull market may be far from over.
