Metaplanet adds 518 BTC ($61.4M) to its Bitcoin treasury, raising total holdings to 18,113 BTC as part of its accumulation strategy.
Metaplanet Inc., a company based in Japan, said that it has added 518 Bitcoin to its treasury.
This makes the company one of the most well-known corporate owners of Bitcoin.
With New Acquisition, Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Treasury
Acquiring 518 Bitcoin, worth roughly $61.4 million, increased Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury.
The purchase was made at an average price of $118,519 per coin.
With the August 12 transaction, Metaplanet now has 18,113 BTC in total, which was purchased for about $1.85 billion at an average price of $101,911 per coin.
With an average buying price of 17,540,861 yen per Bitcoin, the most recent transaction totaled 9.086 billion yen.
The company’s current total Bitcoin investment of 270.364 billion yen demonstrates the extent of its dedication to the virtual currency.
The purchase comes after Metaplanet made another big purchase in late July, adding 463 Bitcoin to its holdings at an average price of $115,895, for $53.7 million.
This acquisition resulted in a 459.2% year-to-date Bitcoin yield and increased its holdings to 17,595 BTC, or around $1.78 billion.
The company’s quick gathering speed is similar to actions other Bitcoin-focused organizations took, including Strategy, which recently revealed that it had paid $18 million for 155 BTC at an average price of $116,401 per coin.
As of right now, Strategy has 628,946 BTC, which is worth $46.09 billion.
Analysts speculate that these concentrated corporate acquisitions may indicate rising institutional interest in Bitcoin, particularly among businesses implementing a “Bitcoin standard” approach to treasury management.
Reaction Of Market, Stocks
Metaplanet’s stock saw a brief 1% increase after the announcement, going from 985 yen to 997 yen before plummeting to 980 yen.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s market price was not significantly affected right away. At $119,000, the cryptocurrency fell almost 2%.
It decelerated after reaching recent peaks that had put it close to its peak.
Based on the lackluster response in the Bitcoin spot price, dealers note that Metaplanet’s history of regular acquisitions suggests that the market may have partially priced in the acquisition.
The most recent action taken by Metaplanet follows an already outstanding 2025 performance.
Metaplanet attained a Bitcoin yield of 26.5% between July 1 and August 12. Its performance so far this year has risen to an exceptional 468.1%.
Metaplanet adheres to a cautious purchasing approach by consistently purchasing Bitcoin, notwithstanding transient fluctuations in the market.
Many institutional investors view Bitcoin as a long-term investment with good inflation protection.
The Tokyo-listed corporation is currently among the world’s most oversized corporate Bitcoin holders, holding 18,113 BTC.
This method will be profitable if Bitcoin hits its prior all-time highs in the coming weeks.
