Metaplanet Inc., a publicly traded investment firm, has announced the acquisition of an additional 162 bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $13.5 million, at an average price of $83,123 per BTC.
Notably, this purchase brings the company’s total bitcoin holdings to 3,050 BTC, valued at around $253.7 million.
The firm disclosed its latest purchase in an official statement, reinforcing its commitment to bitcoin as part of its long-term treasury strategy. Metaplanet’s BTC holdings have yielded a 53.2% return year-to-date (YTD) in 2025.
Metaplanet’s investment strategy aligns with the growing trend of corporate bitcoin adoption. The company follows in the footsteps of major firms like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which have also significantly increased BTC reserves as a hedge against inflation and economic instability.
Metaplanet: Commitment to Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, rides on with the company’s dedication to bitcoin accumulation. In a follow up post to the acquisition announcement on X, Gerovich outlined that the firm’s Q1 yield has surged to 53.2%, a significant rise from 45.1% in their last buy.
For context, Metaplanet’s strategic purchases position it among Japan’s leading corporate BTC holders.
The latest move comes as bitcoin continues to face some volatility, fluctuating between $77,000 and $92,000 in the last 7 days. With concerns over fiat currency devaluation and geopolitical uncertainties, businesses are looking to digital assets for long-term stability.
While BTC’s price continues to fluctuate, corporate BTC accumulation, excluding other factors, could further fuel upward momentum.
Looking Ahead
Metaplanet has not indicated any plans to halt its BTC acquisition strategy, suggesting continued investment in the cryptocurrency. The firm’s latest purchase signals confidence in bitcoin’s role as a store of value, particularly in a global economy facing inflationary pressures.
As more corporations integrate bitcoin into their balance sheets, Metaplanet’s move underscores the growing institutional shift toward digital assets.
