This purchase increases Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to 18,888 BTC, valued at roughly $1.94 billion, with an average acquisition cost of $102,700 per coin.
Since pivoting to a Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy in December 2024, Metaplanet has aggressively expanded its cryptocurrency reserves, positioning itself as Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder and the sixth-largest globally.
