Jakarta, Pintu News – Japanese company Metaplanet has continued its aggressive strategy of accumulating Bitcoin (BTC), announcing another large purchase. Currently, the company has 20,000 BTC in its reserves.

The company’s stock price experienced a movement after the announcement.

Metaplanet surpasses 20,000 Bitcoin milestone

In its latest disclosure, Metaplanet confirmed that it has purchased 1,009 Bitcoins worth approximately 16.48 billion yen (approximately 112 million US dollars). With this purchase, the company’s total holdings now stand at 20,000 BTC. This achievement is a new milestone that strengthens the company’s reserve strategy.

The bitcoins were purchased at an average price of about 15.1 million yen per coin, which is equivalent to about 102,700 US dollars. Overall, Metaplanet’s total investment has now reached 302.3 billion yen (about 2 billion US dollars).

This latest acquisition comes shortly after a previous purchase, where Metaplanet added 103 BTC worth $11.6 million. At the time, the company reported an average purchase price of $113,491 per coin.

The Japanese company’s rapid accumulation strategy is intended to remain competitive with other Bitcoin reserve holders. Recently, a company called Strategy also bought 3,081 BTC worth $356.9 million, bringing its total holdings to 632,457 BTC – more than 3% of the total Bitcoin supply.

With a stake of 20,000 BTC, Metaplanet is now firmly on the list of companies with the largest Bitcoin reserves in the world. This aggressive strategy also shows how more and more companies are starting to treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

Stock Market Reaction to Bitcoin Buying

Although Metaplanet continues to buy Bitcoin, the company’s stock performance has shown mixed results. Following the latest purchase announcement, the company’s share price fell by 4% to 844 yen, extending the nearly 7% decline from the previous week. Analysts attribute this weakness to the overall downward trend in the market.

According to a Bloomberg report, Metaplanet shares, which had soared more than 400% in early 2025, have now lost almost half their value since mid-June. This decline risks disrupting the company’s unusual financing strategy.

In response, Metaplanet announced plans to raise US$884 million through an offshore share sale in a limited offering scheme, with an option to expand the transaction value.

The company will also seek shareholder approval to issue preferred shares. This move is aimed at strengthening the company’s financing capabilities in order to increase its Bitcoin holdings in the future.

In addition, the investment company also granted Eric Trump 3.3 million shares of stock acquisition rights, further linking Metaplanet’s Bitcoin vision to international financial and political networks.

Despite the volatility in the company’s share price, Metaplanet remains committed to expanding its Bitcoin holdings and strengthening its balance sheet through equity-based financing schemes.

Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin itself has also been on the decline, with a correction of around 5% over the past week. The still bearish market sentiment is largely due to significant outflows from Bitcoin ETF products.
