In yen terms, these latest purchases totaled 9.086 billion yen, at an average price of 17,540,861 yen per Bitcoin. The company’s total Bitcoin investment now stands at 270.364 billion yen, reflecting the scale of its commitment to the cryptocurrency.

This acquisition follows another large purchase at the end of July, when Metaplanet added 463 BTC to its reserves at an average price of $115,895, worth $53.7 million. The purchase brought its total holdings at the time to 17,595 BTC, valued at around $1.78 billion, and gave a YTD Bitcoin yield of 459.2%.

The speed of the company’s accumulation is reminiscent of the moves of other Bitcoin-focused entities, such as Strategy, which recently revealed an $18 million purchase of 155 BTC at an average price of $116,401 per coin.

Currently, Strategy’s holdings stand at 628,946 BTC, which is worth $46.09 billion.

According to analysts, the focused buying from these companies may be a sign of growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, especially among companies adopting a “Bitcoin standard” approach to their cash management.

Market and Stock Reactions

Following the announcement, Metaplanet shares experienced a brief 1% rise, rising from 985 yen to 997 yen, before falling back to 980 yen.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s market price did not show any significant immediate impact. The cryptocurrency fell by about 2% to $119,000, weakening from its recent highs that were near all-time record highs.

Looking at Metaplanet’s consistent buying pattern, traders observed that the market may have already priced in this acquisition a bit, given the fairly flat reaction to Bitcoin’s spot price.

This latest move by Metaplanet comes after a stellar performance in 2025. From July 1 to August 12, Metaplanet recorded a Bitcoin yield of 26.5%. This increased its annual performance to a very impressive 468.1%.

By continuing to accumulate Bitcoin, Metaplanet follows a prudent buying strategy, regardless of short-term market fluctuations. Many institutional investors believe that Bitcoin is a good way to protect against inflation and is a long-term investment.

Holding 18,113 BTC, the Tokyo-listed company is now one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in the world. This strategy could be very profitable if Bitcoin reaches another all-time high in the coming weeks.
