5 Facts about Metaplanet’s Crypto Strategy: Save 20,000 BTC Even if the Stock Price Plummets!
Jakarta, Pintu News – Japanese crypto company Metaplanet has just announced the purchase of 1,009 Bitcoin , bringing its total holdings to 20,000 BTC. According to a report by Cointelegraph, the acquisition was made for around ¥16.479 billion, which is equivalent to around Rp1.844 trillion (at an exchange rate of 1 USD = Rp16,447).
1. Metaplanet Increases Bitcoin (BTC) Holdings to 20,000 Units
Data from BitcoinTreasuries.net states that Metaplanet is now the sixth largest BTC holding company in the world, and the largest in Japan. The average price of Bitcoin purchased by the company is $102,607 per BTC, or about Rp1.686 billion, with a profit of about 6.75% compared to the market price at the time of writing.
2. New Share Issuance: A Controversial Move Amidst Stock Decline
Alongside the BTC acquisition, Metaplanet also announced the issuance of 11.5 million new shares. This was done in response to an investor called Evo Fund exercising warrant rights to purchase shares of the company.
According to the same report, Evo Fund bought 10 million shares for $5.67 and another 1.5 million shares for almost $6. The total funds raised from this transaction amounted to $65.73 million or around Rp1.081 trillion, which was partly used to pay off bonds worth $20.4 million (around Rp335.5 billion).
3. Metaplanet Shares Down 54% Since June, What’s the Impact?
Despite Metaplanet’s aggressive crypto strategy, its share price has fallen 54% since mid-June 2025. This decline occurred even though the price of Bitcoin itself rose by about 2% in the same period, according to analyst observations.
This situation has a direct impact on the attractiveness of the stock warrants held by Evo Fund. As the stock price falls, there is less incentive to exercise the warrants, which ultimately reduces Metaplanet’s liquidity and their ability to buy further BTC.
4. Metaplanet prepares new funding of up to Rp14.6 trillion
In an effort to maintain liquidity, Metaplanet is not standing still. Last week, the company announced plans to issue public shares in overseas markets to raise ¥130.3 billion or around Rp2.142 trillion.
In addition, Metaplanet is also seeking shareholder approval to issue up to 555 million preferred shares, which could potentially generate ¥555 billion. This suggests that their crypto accumulation strategy will continue despite market pressure.
5. Risks of Crypto Treasury Strategy: Not Always Profitable
Cryptocurrency treasury strategies have indeed grown in popularity since their introduction by companies like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). However, this approach also comes with great risks, especially if crypto prices plummet.
According to a report by Cointelegraph, some of the crypto companies that copied this model are now in serious trouble. As the company’s net asset value declines due to BTC price fluctuations, funding opportunities could be closed, ultimately forcing them to forcefully sell BTC to meet debt obligations or margin calls.
