Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has bolstered its Bitcoin holdings with a fresh purchase of 162 BTC, pushing its total stash to 3,050 BTC.
CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed the acquisition, revealing that the company spent $13.5 million at an average price of $83,123 per Bitcoin.
Even with Bitcoin’s recent price dip, Metaplanet’s crypto assets are now worth around $249.4 million—just shy of the $253.7 million the company has spent on its acquisitions.
Since April 2024, when it first announced its Bitcoin-focused strategy, the firm has consistently increased its holdings. By December, it had formally made Bitcoin treasury operations a core business focus.
Metaplanet has been on a buying spree in 2025, recently snapping up 497 BTC for $43.9 million. With its total Bitcoin acquisitions for the year reaching 1,300 BTC, the company remains committed to its ambitious target of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.
Investors took notice of Metaplanet’s latest Bitcoin move, sending its stock up 8.1% to 3,610 yen during midday trading in Japan.
Bitcoin giant Strategy has added another 4,980 BTC to its reserves in a purchase worth approximately $531.9 million, according to Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
According to renowned market veteran Peter Brandt, trading isn’t the path to prosperity for the vast majority of people.
Charles Edwards, founder and CEO of Capriole Investments, has offered a fresh perspective on Bitcoin’s stalled price movement near the $100,000 mark, despite growing institutional enthusiasm.
Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin treasury with a new acquisition of 1,005 BTC valued at approximately $108.1 million, further cementing its status as one of the largest corporate holders of the digital asset.
