Metaplanet Accumulates 20,000 Bitcoin with Latest $112M BTC Purchase

Metaplanet, a successful Japanese investment firm, has accumulated 20,000 Bitcoin (BTC). The company purchased additional 1,009 BTC for approximately $112 million. This is a major milestone for the firm, as it has been aggressively pursuing their Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Their Bitcoin holdings are now valued at over $2 billion.

Metaplanet Purchases Additional 1,009 BTC

Metaplanet disclosed that the most recent purchase was executed at an average price of $111,068 per BTC. The move caps off a rapid series of acquisitions that saw the company purchase thousands of coins throughout August. Earlier in the month, it bought 463 BTC for $53.7 million, followed by 518 BTC worth $61.4 million. That spree continued with a 775 BTC deal valued at $93 million before culminating in the latest 1,009 BTC addition.

Remarkably, Metaplanet has doubled its Bitcoin holdings in less than three months. The firm only surpassed the 10,000 BTC mark earlier this year before raising its year-end goal to 30,000 BTC. To help this growth, it has raised $837 million through overseas share sales, most of which will be used to buy other companies in September and October.

After the news, Metaplanet became the sixth-largest public business in terms of Bitcoin treasury size, beating Riot Platforms, which is situated in the U.S. This puts the Japanese company in the same league as big names like MicroStrategy and Marathon Digital in the quest to control institutional Bitcoin holdings.

In its disclosure, Metaplanet also highlighted that it achieved a 30.7% yield from July through September 1, a key metric reflecting growth in the ratio of its Bitcoin assets to fully diluted common shares.

Despite the high-profile milestone, Metaplanet’s stock slipped 4.5% on Monday, according to Google Finance data. Even so, the company’s shares remain up an impressive 135% year-to-date, suggesting that investors continue to reward its bold Bitcoin-centric strategy.

Looking ahead, the company will hold a shareholder meeting in Tokyo to vote on new capital-raising methods, including potential preferred stock issuances that could bring in billions more for future Bitcoin purchases.

Adding intrigue to the project, Bloomberg reported that Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump and recently appointed strategic adviser to Metaplanet, is expected to attend in person. Trump, who joined the board in March 2025, has been described by the company as a “leading voice and advocate of digital asset adoption worldwide.”

With 20,000 BTC already secured, Metaplanet is now firmly established as one of the global leaders in corporate Bitcoin investment, and its ambitions suggest the buying spree is far from over.
