Additionally, the data shows that Metaplanet has accumulated a total of 43,000 BTC at an average price of $96,191. At a Bitcoin price of roughly $63,745, the firm’s treasury has an estimated mark-to-market loss of about $1.4 billion, based on the reported average acquisition price of $96,191 per BTC.

Listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (3350), Metaplanet has built the world’s third-largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, according to Bitcoin Treasuries rankings. The firm ranks among the top public-company holders and continues pursuing long-term accumulation targets. It has funded its purchases through a mix of equity, debt, and income generated from Bitcoin options strategies.

Previous Wallet Movements

The transfer came as Bitcoin traded near $64,000 following recent market volatility. Earlier the same day, Lookonchain observed smaller moves, including about 1,473 BTC from Metaplanet, before the larger cumulative transfer total emerged.

However, Metaplanet has not issued an official statement confirming the purpose of this transfer. Such large movements by the firm in the past have often reflected internal wallet reorganization rather than sales.

Large on-chain transfers from major holders frequently draw attention because they can signal potential selling pressure. At this stage, the transfer should not be interpreted as a confirmed sale, as Metaplanet has not disclosed a sale. The movement could represent an internal wallet reorganization, but the destination wallets and purpose of the transfer have not been confirmed.

The transfer highlights the scale of corporate Bitcoin holdings and the impact of recent market volatility on treasury companies whose average acquisition prices remain above Bitcoin’s current market price. Further monitoring of the destination wallets will clarify whether the coins stay in cold storage or are moved toward exchanges.
