Strive Aims to Secure 75,000 BTC at Discount Amid Mt. Gox Claims

May 21, 2025 by Mwongera Taitumu

  • Strive targets 75,000 Bitcoin through discounted Mt. Gox claims.
  • Strive partners with Castell Advisory to expand Bitcoin holdings.
  • Strive plans to purchase BTC at a discount to boost holdings

Strive Asset Management, co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, plans to build a 75,000 BTC treasury by acquiring distressed Bitcoin claims from the bankrupt Mt. Gox exchange. The firm intends to buy these claims at a discount, to strengthen its position ahead of a planned merger with Asset Entities. Strive seeks to improve its Bitcoin-per-share ratio and strengthen its position in the Bitcoin asset management sector.

According to a May 20 SEC filing, Strive has partnered with 117 Castell Advisory Group LLC to purchase Bitcoin claims. These claims, awaiting distribution, are tied to Mt. Gox, the defunct crypto exchange. Strive sees this as an opportunity to acquire Bitcoin below market value, which will boost its Bitcoin holdings.

Strive to Merge with Asset Entities 

Strive’s plans depend on acquiring shareholder approval before the October 31 deadline for Mt. Gox’s full repayment of creditors. The firm intends to seek approval of the transaction via a proxy statement. Strive aims to leverage its upcoming merger to create a publicly traded Bitcoin asset management firm, which will enable it to build a robust Bitcoin treasury.

The merger with Asset Entities, a Nasdaq-listed firm, will create a new entity focused on Bitcoin investments. Strive’s stock rose by 18.2% after the announcement on May 20 while the company’s market cap surged to $122.1 million. The merger is expected to close by mid-year, and Strive hopes to capitalize on the increased interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

Strive Joins Corporate BTC Treasuries Trend

Strive joins other companies that are accumulating Bitcoin. Other firms, such as Nasdaq-listed Basel Medical Group Ltd. and Singapore-based DigiAsia have announced plans to build Bitcoin treasuries. Basel Medical Group is in negotiations for a $1 billion Bitcoin acquisition, while DigiAsia has pledged up to 50% of its future profits toward Bitcoin purchases.

Strive’s Bitcoin approach mirrors the strategies of major players in the industry, such as Michael Saylor’s strategy. Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, recently purchased 7,390 BTC for $764.9 million. Moreover, Metaplanet, a Japanese firm, purchased 1,004 BTC to bring its total holdings to 7,800 BTC.

The rise in corporate Bitcoin purchases is linked to recent economic concerns such as Moody’s recent downgrade of the US credit rating. Strive’s decision comes as more businesses rush to include Bitcoin on their balance sheets. The company’s allocation of resources into Mt.Gox claims allows people to purchase Bitcoin at a lower price.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Holdings Surge Past $800M After New $104M Buy

May 20, 2025 by Kashif Saleem

  • Metaplanet bought 1,004 Bitcoin for $104.6 million on May 19, totaling 7,800 BTC.
  • In May alone, the firm added 2,800 Bitcoin, making it Asia’s top public BTC holder.
  • Bitcoin is trading at $103,029, with bullish traders eyeing a near-term $116,000 breakout.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet made headlines again on May 19 by adding 1,004 Bitcoin to its portfolio. The latest purchase cost Metaplanet 15.2 billion yen, or around $104.6 million. This marked its second-largest single Bitcoin buy so far.

The company’s largest previous purchase was just a week earlier, on May 12, when it acquired 1,241 Bitcoin for $129 million. That move pushed its total holdings past those of El Salvador, a country known for its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation policy. The company’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 7,800 coins, with a market value of roughly $807 million.

The firm also reported a BTC yield of 95.6% for the first quarter, with the second quarter currently sitting at a 47.8% return, measured by the change in Bitcoin per fully diluted share.

Metaplanet Leads Asia in Bitcoin Holdings

Along with expanding its Bitcoin reserves, Metaplanet’s stock rose 9.63% in today’s trading session. It closed at ¥683 and briefly reached ¥715 during the day, as reported by Yahoo Finance. Investor confidence appears to be tracking with the firm’s Bitcoin purchases.

Metaplanet now holds more Bitcoin than any other public company in Asia and ranks tenth worldwide, based on data from BiTBO. Its aggressive buying streak has become one of the fastest-paced among public firms, with a total of 2,800 Bitcoin added in May alone.

In April, the company made four separate Bitcoin purchases totaling 794 coins. March saw six purchases, bringing in 1,655 Bitcoin. The increase in activity suggests the company is placing more focus on Bitcoin as a core holding.

Though Metaplanet has been quick to build its Bitcoin portfolio, it still trails behind Michael Saylor’s Strategy, which remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Strategy currently owns 568,840 Bitcoin valued at around $59 billion, representing 77% of all growth in corporate Bitcoin holdings this year.

Bitcoin Poised for $116,000 Breakout

At present, Bitcoin is trading at $103,029, just 5.72% below its all-time high. Traders have been calling for a move toward $116,000 soon. One trader, Alan, shared on Sunday May 18, “Next early week Bitcoin target: $116,000,” and pointed to a converging triangle with dropping volume as a possible sign of an incoming breakout.

$BTC is brewing within this converging triangle with decreasing volume,” Alan noted.

Traders remain bullish, with most expecting Bitcoin to test previous highs soon. A weekend prediction put Bitcoin near the $116,000 mark within days. The broader market sentiment leans toward renewed price discovery, as recent trading has shown little volatility.

Metaplanet’s Bold $15M Bitcoin Bet: Aims for 10,000 BTC by 2025

May 13, 2025 by Mwongera Taitumu

  • Metaplanet has raised $15M in bonds for Bitcoin acquisitions.
  • Company targets 10,000 BTC by 2025 with aggressive acquisitions.
  • Metaplanet becomes Asia’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder

Metaplanet Inc. has initiated a bond sale of $15 million to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. The Japanese investment company intends to purchase 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 especially with the recent bond sale expected to accelerate the ambitious Bitcoin acquisitions. Metaplanet recently acquired 1,241 BTC to increase its total Bitcoin holdings to 6,796 BTC, which marks a major milestone in its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation plan.

The bonds, which offer 0% interest and mature on November 12, are intended to raise funds to buy more Bitcoin. At the current market prices, Metaplanet could purchase about 147 BTC with the entire $15 million raised. This purchase coincides with the volatility of Bitcoin prices,which saw its price drop from its $105,000 peak.

Corporate Bitcoin Acquisition Spree

Metaplanet’s focus on Bitcoin as a core treasury asset is part of a wider global trend in 2025. Corporates and businesses continue to make substantial Bitcoin purchases which have exceeded government purchases and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These businesses include Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) which recently purchased 13,390 BTC to increase its stash to more than 568,000 BTC and make it the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy demonstrates its confidence in the long-term potential of Bitcoin despite the current volatility in the price of Bitcoin .

The company’s Bitcoin acquisition plan reflects the increased institutional interest in Bitcoin. Metaplanet seeks to maximize the potential of Bitcoin as an asset class to create value to its shareholders.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Portfolio Massive Q1 Yields

The firm’s Bitcoin portfolio has already produced impressive results, with a 95.6% BTC yield in Q1 2025. The company generated a yield of 38% in Q2 which positions as a top performer in the corporate Bitcoin acquisition arena. Moreover, the recent increase in its stock price validates its Bitcoin purchases.

Metaplanet continues to explore other means to finance its Bitcoin purchases besides bond issuance. The company has offered stock acquisition rights to facilitate its growth.

Metaplanet’s latest acquisition makes it the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in Asia. This marks a shift in Japan’s conservative financial landscape. Experts predict that Metaplanet’s move could lead to increased institutional adoption of Bitcoin.

Metaplanet Buys 1,241 More Bitcoins, Now Holds 6,796 Total

May 12, 2025 by Kashif Saleem

  • Metaplanet bought 1,241 bitcoins for $126.7 million, raising total holdings to 6,796 BTC.
  • Total investment stands at $608.2 million with average cost per bitcoin at $89,492 so far.
  • Now holding more Bitcoin than El Salvador, Metaplanet is Asia’s biggest and 10th globally.

Metaplanet Inc., a public company listed in Japan, has stepped up its Bitcoin accumulation again. On May 12, the firm purchased 1,241 more bitcoins for about $126.7 million. The average price per coin was $102,119. This latest move takes the total number of bitcoins in the company’s possession to 6,796.

According to CEO Simon Gerovich, the company has spent $608.2 million to gather its holdings so far. That means Metaplanet’s average cost per bitcoin stands at $89,492. As of now, the total value of their bitcoin stash is about $706.7 million, reflecting a 170% yield year-to-date.

Metaplanet has acquired 1241 BTC for ~$126.7 million at ~$102,119 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 170.0% YTD 2025. As of 5/12/2025, we hold 6796 $BTC acquired for ~$608.2 million at ~$89,492 per bitcoin. $MTPLF pic.twitter.com/KXNWl5Hg0d

— Simon Gerovich (@gerovich) May 12, 2025

Metaplanet’s approach to funding its bitcoin strategy relies heavily on issuing bonds. On May 9,  the company announced its 14th ordinary bond offering. This one raised another $21.25 million to fuel additional purchases of the cryptocurrency.

Metaplanet Outpaces El Salvador’s Holdings

Earlier this month, on May 7, the firm made headlines with a massive buy of 5,555 bitcoins. In April, it acquired 18,586 bitcoins across four separate transactions. Back in March, it added 18,925 bitcoins through six deals. Each of those purchases outdid the previous one in size, showing an increasingly aggressive buying pattern.

Following the purchase announcement, Gerovich remarked, “Metaplanet now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador. From humble beginnings to rivaling nation-states, we’re just getting started.” According to BiTBO, Metaplanet has become the largest Bitcoin-holding company in Asia and ranks as the tenth largest globally.

Metaplanet now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador. From humble beginnings to rivaling nation-states, we’re just getting started.

Some market voices, including Adam Back, have gone so far as to suggest that Metaplanet’s strategy is even more effective than MicroStrategy’s. While a screenshot shared by Michael Saylor on May 12 suggested that his firm, Strategy, might be preparing for another Bitcoin acquisition. The post read “Connect the dots,” alongside the Saylor Tracker chart.

Bitcoin Pushes Toward Price Discovery

Metaplanet’s aggressive strategy comes at a time when Bitcoin is testing the $104,000 mark again. It’s trading well above both the 20-day exponential moving average of $97,396 and the 50-day simple moving average of $92,542. That momentum has pushed it near the record levels seen in January.

Bitcoin is currently supported by an ascending trend line forming near the $103,500 level on the hourly chart. The MACD indicator is also showing strength in the bullish zone. Still, the Relative Strength Index is at 74, which suggests overbought conditions and raises the chance of a short-term pause or dip.

In an 11 May X post, Crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin must close a week above $104,500 to kick off what he calls the “Price Discovery Uptrend 2.” That would be the next phase in Bitcoin’s climb and could trigger the Breakthrough Process. 

If Bitcoin clears the resistance band between $105,000 and $109,588, projections suggest targets near $130,000 could be reached in the coming months.

Metaplanet Buys 1,241 BTC, Now Holds More Than El Salvador

May 12, 2025 by Mutuma Maxwell

  • Metaplanet has acquired 1,241 Bitcoin for approximately $126.7 million, increasing its total holdings to 6,796 BTC.
  • The company now holds more Bitcoin than El Salvador, which holds 6,174 BTC in its national reserves.
  • Metaplanet purchased the new Bitcoin at an average price of $102,119 per coin.

Metaplanet has purchased 1,241 Bitcoin (BTC) for about $126.7 million, bringing its total holding to 6,796 Bitcoin. With this recent purchase, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin ownership is now higher than El Salvador’s, which owns a reserve of 6,174 BTC, expanding its lead in institutional pillars of Bitcoin ownership. Having more Bitcoin than El Salvador, Metaplanet boosts the Bitcoin treasury.

Metaplanet Raises BTC Holdings to 6796

Metaplanet confirmed that the average acquisition price for the latest Bitcoin purchase stood at approximately $102,119 per BTC. This information was noted in Metaplanet’s filing, with the exchange rate being 14,848,061 yen per BTC. This addition increased Metaplanet’s holdings from 5,555 BTC last week to 6,796 BTC today.

Metaplanet‘s rapid accumulation rate since its initial Bitcoin acquisition in April 2024 is underscored by this acquisition. The firm has injected just under $608.2 million in Bitcoin, emphasizing treasury management. With Bitcoin currently priced at $104,003, Metaplanet’s total BTC holdings are valued at approximately $706.8 million.

*Metaplanet Acquires Additional 1,241 $BTC* pic.twitter.com/zrJYzaZJq6

— Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet_JP) May 12, 2025

This is one of the company’s repetitive approaches to treasury management. While many firms diversify, Metaplanet maintains a focused exposure to Bitcoin as a core reserve asset. This latest acquisition strengthens the company’s stature among the industry leaders in top institutional investors.

Bitcoin Growth Boosts Metaplanet Stock Value

Based on Metaplanet’s year-to-date, its BTC Yield was as high as 170.0% when measured in terms of the Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share. The BTC Yield during this current quarter, between April 1 and May 12, 2025, rose by 38.0%. This indicates an increase in the firm’s Bitcoin share, which increases the real value owned by the shareholders.

The firm’s share price spiked 3.8% in trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Monday after the news. This market response mirrors Metaplanet’s sustained interest in Bitcoin. The security (3350.T) views denote an increased corporate thirst for digital assets.

Like other Bitcoin-focused companies, this outcome highlights the market’s reaction to treasury-related equity dynamics. As Metaplanet increases its holdings, analysts pay keen attention to whether Bitcoin’s growth is a plus for its stock value. Meanwhile, Metaplanet is at parity or ahead of early Bitcoin users such as Strategy.

Analysts Predict Strong Gains for Metaplanet

Analysts say Metaplanet has the potential to gain more sharply than Strategy in instances of expected Bitcoin price rallies. In case Bitcoin hits $120,000, Metaplanet’s stock could double, while Strategy’s return will be a modest 1.6 times higher. Metaplanet’s share value may explode by 4.5 times when Bitcoin rises to $150,000.

🚀 It's still early days for MetaPlanet… but the ballistic acceleration model suggests…

The estimates are based on an analytics model that tracks companies’ responses to Bitcoin price changes. This high-beta exposure positions Metaplanet as a more reactive equity in the cryptocurrency market. For market agents, the model is effective for assessing companies’ reactions to fluctuations in the Bitcoin price.

Metaplanet’s $21M Bond Sale Accelerates Ambitious Bitcoin Acquisition

May 10, 2025 by Mwongera Taitumu

  • Metaplanet issues $21.25M bonds to fund Bitcoin strategy
  • Tokyo firm becomes Asia’s largest public Bitcoin holder
  • Metaplanet plans U.S. subsidiary to raise $250M for BTC

Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-based investment firm, continues to advance its aggressive BTC acquisition. The company intends to raise $21.25 million from a new bond sale to finance more purchases of Bitcoin. The bonds will not accrue interest and will be issued at a discount with the redemption period on November 9. This is the company’s third bond sale this week after two earlier $25 million issues.

The bond issuance supports Metaplanet’s plan to increase its BTC stockpile. The company currently holds 5,555 BTC worth $576 million, which positions the company as Asia’s largest public corporate holder of Bitcoin. The company is the 11th biggest corporate holder of BTC across the world. Metaplanet’s stock price saw over a 1,600% increase in the last 1 year, which indicates increased investor interest.

Metaplanet Follows MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Playbook

On May 7, Metaplanet acquired 555 BTC for $53.4 million. The company aims to raise funds to purchase approximately 206 BTC through new bond issuance. The firm launched its BTC acquisition in late 2024. The company’s bond issuances are discounted and interest-free, which matches an approach often used by other corporate Bitcoin holders such as MicroStrategy.

The firm’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy is similar to that of U.S.-based MicroStrategy, which uses debt issuances to finance BTC purchases. Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet’s CEO, has expressed confidence in the company’s expansion roadmap. He recently mentioned that the firm intends to own 10,000 BTC by 2026. This objective solidifies Metaplanet’s position as a major player in the global BTC market.

Metaplanet Global Expansion

Metaplanet’s recent plans to raise funds are part of its plans to expand into the U.S. market. In May, the company announced plans to set up a subsidiary in Florida called Metaplanet Treasury. This step will enable Metaplanet to access US institutional investors and raise up to $250 million to boost its own BTC acquisition. The Florida-based firm will strengthen Metaplanet’s position in the extended U.S. market, which has witnessed increased Bitcoin innovation and corporate adoption.

Metaplanet’s ambitious BTC acquisition matches a prevalent trend in the cryptocurrency market. The increase in Bitcoin ETF inflows demonstrates increased institutional interest in BTC, with $5.13 billion in net inflows in the last three weeks. Metaplanet’s plans reflect its efforts to strengthen its position as a leader in the corporate Bitcoin treasury sphere.

Japan’s Metaplanet Quietly Buys 555 BTC—But Why Right Now?

May 7, 2025 by Mutuma Maxwell

  • Metaplanet acquired 555 more Bitcoin this week, spending $49.6 million on the latest purchase.
  • Based on current market prices, the company now holds 5,555 BTC valued at over $482 million.
  • This acquisition is part of Metaplanet’s ongoing strategy to convert capital into Bitcoin during global financial uncertainty.

Japanese firm Metaplanet Inc. made another Bitcoin (BTC) purchase totaling 555 units this week, while China and the U.S. governments began showing signs of economic partnership. Metaplanet Inc. made a Tokyo Stock Exchange listing this week and acquired 555 Bitcoin using $49.6 million, raising its total holdings to 5,555 BTC. The purchase follows Metaplanet’s digital asset transformation plan to protect its investments during worldwide instability.

Metaplanet Adds 555 BTC to Holdings, Hits $482 Million in Total Value

Metaplanet announced its second Bitcoin purchase on Tuesday, which raised the company’s Bitcoin holdings to exceed $482 million. The purchase utilized ¥7.67 billion from the company’s funds while maintaining a trend of acquisitions based on zero-coupon bond issuance. Through EVO FUND, its partner raised the bond tranches that directly fund each Bitcoin acquisition.

The acquisition occurs within a strategy that courts Bitcoin as the primary core asset of the company’s treasury. Financial instruments yielded proceeds that Metaplanet used to obtain BTC since the start of 2024 and through all of 2025. Since the beginning of its digital asset exposure expansion initiative the firm has executed several key strategic acquisitions.

The organization’s Bitcoin-oriented Key Performance Indicator, BTC Yield, demonstrated substantial quarterly growth because capital deployment proved rewarding. Each subsequent quarter produced expanding returns, with Q4 at 309.8%, Q1 at 95.6%, and Q2 at 21%. The company’s durable Bitcoin acquiring performance reinforced its decision to build a reserve against possible macroeconomic threats.

China and US Set to Resume Economic Talks After Extended Pause

Chinese officials announced that Vice Premier He Lifeng will conduct talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Switzerland from May 9 through May 12. These official meetings will represent the direct dialogue after the U.S. placed new tariffs on Chinese imports. Senior U.S. officials made multiple attempts to initiate renewed dialogue before Vice Premier He Lifeng met with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Switzerland.

According to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, specific conditions must exist for the parties to work together while emphasizing mutual respect and fairness throughout all discussions. Government representatives at these meetings rejected demands that would force China to change positions and issued statements about U.S. action in trade relations. China maintains its tough stance in defending its economic position while complying with worldwide market requirements.

The Chinese embassy in the United States has recognized the business community’s intensifying international pressure and demands to begin a new dialogue. Beijing accepted the need for formal dialogue to answer recent changes affecting the trade situation. Through this reopened dialogue, trade relations have the potential to become stable while facing current diplomatic tensions.

Gold and Bitcoin Gain as Safe-Haven Demand Rises

Bitcoin prices stayed near the levels from February, while gold rose to $3,357 as investors increasingly sought store-of-value assets. The price elevation of both assets has traced economic policy shifts alongside geopolitical developments across important global regions. According to data about recent price movements, global financial instability appears to be driving markets toward substitute assets.

Metaplanet announced plans to establish its new Metaplanet Treasury Corp. subsidiary in Florida while raising $250 million through Metaplanet Treasury Corp. for Bitcoin acquisitions. With a $250 million capital target, this new entity will shape the company’s Bitcoin acquisition initiatives. CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed the move would enable the company to access U.S. capital market opportunities and international financial liquidity.

As part of its strategy to enhance its standing as a Bitcoin-specialized public organization that targets global growth, Metaplanet has initiated this step. Through this subsidiary organization, Metaplanet maintains uninterrupted access to strategic capital and multiple markets. Metaplanet takes this step to expand its market reach while strengthening its current digital asset reserve guidelines.

The bonds, issued through Metaplanet’s EVO FUND, will be redeemable at full face value by October 31, 2025. This marks the 12th issuance of ordinary bonds dedicated to Bitcoin purchases, highlighting the company’s commitment to a long-term digital asset strategy.

Since pivoting to a Bitcoin-first treasury model in April 2024, the firm has accumulated 5,000 BTC valued at roughly $484 million, reaching 50% of its target. This rapid accumulation places the Tokyo-based firm among the top ten publicly known corporate Bitcoin holders, alongside names like MicroStrategy and Tesla.

CEO Simon Gerovich took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the company’s Bitcoin-driven momentum, stating, “Our unrealized gains on Bitcoin now exceed 6 billion yen, which is more than four times our market cap before we adopted the Bitcoin standard.” He also noted that Metaplanet’s U.S.-listed OTC stock (MTPLF) saw a surge in trading volume, marking four straight days of record-breaking activity.

Metaplanet Stock Surges After Launch of US Bitcoin Subsidiary

The company’s performance on the Tokyo Stock Exchange also reflects growing investor enthusiasm, with shares climbing 10.4% to 435 yen on Friday alone.

In a move to bolster its global ambitions, Metaplanet announced that it will establish a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary in Miami, Florida, later this month. The new entity, Metaplanet Treasury Corp., will be strategically positioned in a city rapidly emerging as a hub for Bitcoin and blockchain innovation.

The subsidiary aims to improve access to institutional liquidity and streamline the acquisition of Bitcoin through more efficient channels. According to the company, Metaplanet Treasury Corp. plans to raise $250 million to further support the parent company’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy. It will launch with an initial capital base of $10 million.

Metaplanet’s Secret Weapon? A Florida Subsidiary and $250M Bitcoin Goal

May 2, 2025 by Mutuma Maxwell

  • Metaplanet will establish a wholly owned subsidiary in Miami, Florida, this month.
  • The company plans to raise $250 million to expand its bitcoin treasury strategy.
  • Metaplanet Treasury Corp. will launch with $10 million in initial capital.

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet will establish a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary in Miami, Florida, this month. The move is part of its strategy to strengthen global operations and accelerate bitcoin acquisition. The company plans to raise $250 million to scale its bitcoin treasury program through the new unit.

Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Reach in Florida

On the other hand, Metaplanet Treasury Corp. will become operational in Florida as the subsidiary of Metaplanet with $10 million in capital. The new subsidiary works to improve treasury operations to allow direct U.S. institutional capital market access. The new entity supports faster transaction execution and better time zone liquidity management.

The company selected Florida because it is a leading center of bitcoin innovation and has an advantageous business environment. Metaplanet chose to establish operations in Miami because of its rising position in the digital asset market space. The modified entity will work with the company’s British Virgin Islands-based offshore unit.

U.S. UAS Development LLC obtains leadership from its principal force within the company, Simon Gerovich and Dylan LeClair, serving as CEO and Bitcoin strategy head, respectively. The leadership team at this firm will work toward developing more bitcoin acquisition routes and enhancing its treasury operations functions. The firm declared its position regarding the new unit through its latest announcement, stating its minimal contribution to the 2025 financial results.

Bitcoin Growth Lifts Metaplanet Stock Price

Last week, Metaplanet bought 145 BTC worth $14 million, enabling the company to become a holder of more than 5,000 BTC. The company has achieved 50 percent of its future target of possessing 10,000 BTC. The company remains dedicated to regular bitcoin purchases under its established bitcoin adoption roadmap, which it announced in April 2024.

The continuous growth of bitcoin ownership positions Metaplanet as one of the significant business entities holding cryptocurrency assets. The company plans to accumulate 21,000 BTC by 2026. Metaplanet has not disclosed the specific dates for future purchases.

The announcement of U.S. expansion caused Tokyo exchange stock prices to rise 2.6% and settle at 394 yen during market hours. Throughout the last 12 months, the stock price has surged by more than 1260%. Shared information about their bitcoin strategy and growth plan resulted in positive market participant reactions.

Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation Sees Broader Momentum

Various companies are presently engaging in vigorous Bitcoin acquisitions with their balance sheets.

Metaplanet bought 330 BTC at an average cost of $85,605 for each coin. The company completed major acquisitions in proper order during the entire year of 2025.

Metaplanet has substantially enlarged its crypto treasury since the beginning of 2024. The company maintains its operational momentum and effectively builds up its crypto treasure using capital funds from equity and debt instruments.

The recent acquisition by Metaplanet has driven its Bitcoin portfolio to over $500 million. Similar to other prominent companies in the market, Metaplanet implements a Bitcoin strategy that is currently active. Metaplanet maintains a spot among the major companies that hold Bitcoin after reaching over 5,000 BTC in its holdings.

Bitcoin Yield Soars 119.3% Year-to-Date

During the annual period, the firm has achieved a 119.3% return through its Bitcoin-focused investment strategy. The strong price performance in 2025 has significantly increased Metaplanet’s asset value expansion. This large increase in value demonstrates how corporate portfolios can benefit from having crypto-treasury strategies.

Metaplanet’s accumulation strategy started during the previous year, and the company maintains regular purchase intervals after its launch. The company uses a dollar-cost averaging method to distribute its purchase activities over time. Metaplanet extracts value from market declines and the elevation of the BTC price.

Metaplanet initiated another Bitcoin purchase after its April acquisition of 696 BTC, which followed its successful first quarter. The rise in Bitcoin value to $87,300 has created an upward trend for Metaplanet’s BTC yield since this purchase period.

Bitcoin-Centric Firms Compete for Market Share

Metaplanet employs a business strategy that places it directly alongside Strategy and similar companies. The company stands among a limited number of firms that possess more than 1,000 BTC, yet it is modest in size. The Bitwise OWNB fund monitors this company after including it in its large BTC holder registry.

Strategy strengthened its position in the cryptocurrency market by acquiring 3,459 Bitcoin worth $285 million. Despite operating at different levels, Metaplanet demonstrates its extended digital asset plan through its regular acquisition process. The organization maintains alignment with Bitcoin’s positive long-term market trends.

The company expanded its strategic board of advisors by welcoming Eric Trump as a member. The recent action reveals how the company intends to strengthen its position within international digital asset programs. Sources indicate that the organization will spend another $10 million to execute an upcoming strategic business acquisition.
