Metaplanet Adds 319 Bitcoin Worth $26.7M to Its Holdings

Publicly traded Japanese investment company Metaplanet has taken a significant step by adding more of the world’s largest crypto asset by market cap, bitcoin (BTC), worth over $26 million, to its stash. 

Metaplanet Holds 4,535 BTC

A recent report indicated that the firm acquired 319 BTC, valued at approximately $26. 7 million. The latest purchase brings its total BTC holdings to roughly 4,525 bitcoins (over 380 million).  Notably, Metaplanet purchased its bitcoin stash at an average trading price of $89,000 per BTC and $26.7 million for the entire stash. 

This big buy comes a few weeks after the investment firm acquired BTC, valued at $68 million. The strategic move also underscores the firm’s commitment to enhancing its crypto asset holdings and cements its position as a major player in the crypto investment circle. 

Following the latest acquisition, Metaplanet’s stock surged 3.71% to 363 yen. Moreover, the firm’s BTC strategy has proven highly effective, achieving a BTC Yield of 41.7% year-to-date. 

The firm’s calculated approach to accumulating BTC, particularly during market corrections, has significantly grown its digital asset holdings. Metaplanet has also benefited from both favorable pricing and long-term growth in bitcoin’s value.  

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Strategy 

Since adopting a bitcoin-focused strategy in 2023, Metaplanet has steadily increased its BTC holdings as a hedge against Japan’s economic challenges, such as soaring national debt and a depreciating currency. The strategic move was designed to shield the company from local economic instability, while also capitalizing on the growth potential of the digital asset.

Meanwhile, the recent buy comes at a time when the crypto market, particularly major coins BTC and ETH, is experiencing pressure due to market correction and its reaction to tariffs. At the time of writing, the crypto asset was changing hands at over $84,500.   

The company is also making significant strides towards its goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. The investment firm has outlined an even bolder target, aiming to hold 21,000 BTC by the close of 2026. This long-term strategy reflects Metaplanet’s commitment to building a robust digital asset portfolio. 

Other companies like Strategy, the largest BTC corporate holder, have also shown no sign of slowing their bitcoin purchases. The business intelligence firm has been at the forefront in acquiring the crypto asset. On March 31, 2025, the entity purchased 22,048 BTC, valued at $1.92 billion.
