Japan-based tech firm Metaplanet has confirmed the acquisition of 103 Bitcoin (BTC) worth approximately ¥1.74 billion ($11.6 million), increasing its cumulative holdings to 18,991 BTC. The purchase was executed at an average price of $113,491 per coin, reinforcing the company’s ongoing strategy to expand exposure to the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
The move follows Strategy founder Michael Saylor’s recent remarks on X, where he hinted that “Bitcoin is on Sale,” fueling speculation about upcoming BTC acquisitions by major institutions.
Strong Returns Amid Market Volatility
Metaplanet’s investment track record continues to impress. The firm has achieved a cumulative return of 479.5% on its Bitcoin holdings, significantly outperforming traditional equities. Quarterly data from 2025 highlights yields of 95.6% in Q1, 29.1% between July and August, and 129.4% in Q2, demonstrating effective timing and strategic accumulation.
With the Japanese yen weakening, Metaplanet’s confidence in Bitcoin reflects a broader trend of companies using cryptocurrency as a hedge against economic uncertainty.
Stock Reaction and Market Sentiment
Following the announcement, Metaplanet shares rose over 4%, reaching 878 yen, signaling investor approval of the firm’s ongoing Bitcoin strategy. Interestingly, BTC itself remained relatively stable, hovering around $112,000 after a brief dip to $110,000 over the weekend.

Institutional optimism continues to grow, with public figures like Eric Trump labeling themselves as Bitcoin maximalists and predicting a potential BTC surge to $175,000 by the end of 2025. Such sentiment, combined with sustained corporate accumulation, suggests a bullish outlook for the cryptocurrency.
Metaplanet’s Strategic BTC Play
Metaplanet’s latest $11.6 million Bitcoin acquisition strengthens its position as the seventh-largest public BTC holder. The purchase underscores confidence in long-term Bitcoin growth while reflecting a calculated approach to asset diversification amid global economic uncertainty.
