Metaplanet’s Bitcoin (BTC) Acquisition Strategy

Metaplanet has purchased an additional 463 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $115,895 per coin. This purchase increases their total holdings to approximately $1.78 billion.

With this strategy, Metaplanet seeks to strengthen its position as one of the largest Bitcoin (BTC) holders in the world, competing with other large companies such as Strategy and Marathon Digital.

This latest purchase follows an earlier acquisition where Metaplanet bought 780 Bitcoin (BTC) worth approximately $92.5 million.

This consistency in purchases demonstrates Metaplanet’s commitment to building significant digital wealth. The company also plans to raise an additional $3.7 billion in funds for further Bitcoin (BTC) purchases.

Market Reaction and Future Plans

Although Metaplanet continued to buy Bitcoin (BTC), their share price in Japan dropped by about 6% to ¥998. This drop came despite a recovery in Bitcoin (BTC) price which increased by almost 1% to around $114,594. The crypto market gained new momentum after weaker than expected US non-farm jobs data.

Metaplanet is not only focused on purchasing Bitcoin (BTC) but also plans to raise capital through the issuance of perpetual preferred shares. If this plan is approved, the funds generated will be used for larger Bitcoin (BTC) acquisitions, which could be one of the largest single purchases in the history of Bitcoin (BTC) corporate ownership.

From January to March 2025, the company recorded a yield of 95.6%, which increased to 129.4% in April to June. This momentum continued into the third quarter, with additional yield growth of 24.6% already achieved on August 4.
