The acquisition, made at around 17.4 million yen ($118,328) per bitcoin, follows a $632 million BTC purchase announced on September 21, marking Metaplanet’s largest single bitcoin buy to date.
Strong Financial Growth Supports Expansion
Metaplanet’s aggressive bitcoin accumulation aligns with robust financial results. The company reported a Q3 revenue of 2.438 billion yen ($16.5 million), a 115.7% increase from Q2. Gerovich highlighted that these results “demonstrate operational scalability and strengthen the financial foundation” for the firm’s upcoming preferred share issuance, which will further fund bitcoin purchases.
The company is planning to raise $1.4 billion by issuing 385 million new shares, earmarked primarily for bitcoin acquisitions. Additionally, a new U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Income Corp., has been approved to develop a bitcoin income generation line focused on derivatives and related activities.
Market Reaction and Bitcoin Performance
Despite the large acquisition, Metaplanet’s Japanese stock fell 10.26% on Monday, reflecting volatility amid aggressive treasury expansion. Over the past month, shares dropped 38%, though they remain up 48.3% year-to-date. Meanwhile, U.S.-traded shares (MTPLF) closed up 8.86% at $3.96 on Tuesday.
