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.
