Bitcoin News Today: Metaplanet Adds 463 Bitcoin to Treasury, Holdings Now Exceed 17,500 Coins

Metaplanet Inc. (TYO:3350) has added 463 Bitcoin to its corporate treasury, increasing its total holdings to 17,595 coins, which are valued at approximately $2 billion [1]. The latest acquisition, made on August 4, 2025, was conducted at an average price of 17,268,320 yen ($116,975) per Bitcoin [2]. This move further solidifies the company’s position as the seventh-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, following Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:DJT).

The company announced earlier in the week that it plans to raise $3.7 billion through a stock offering to continue its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. This approach mirrors the investment model pioneered by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, which has consistently bought the cryptocurrency as a store of value and hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty.

The latest Bitcoin purchase reinforces Metaplanet’s strategic shift from being a hotel operator to a corporate treasury focused on digital assets. Since 2024, the company has consistently added to its Bitcoin reserves, demonstrating a long-term commitment to the asset class. This strategy involves accumulating Bitcoin at regular intervals, regardless of short-term market volatility.

The company’s Bitcoin holdings are increasingly becoming a central part of its financial strategy. By treating Bitcoin as a legitimate and liquid asset, Metaplanet is contributing to the broader trend of institutional adoption. Its continued purchases suggest confidence in Bitcoin’s potential as a long-term store of value and a hedge against traditional market risks.

Bitcoin traded at $114,471.10 on Monday, reflecting modest gains amid ongoing institutional interest. As Metaplanet increases its exposure, it further cements the cryptocurrency’s role in corporate treasury management and reinforces its position as a mainstream asset class.
