Bitcoin News Today: Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Push Signals a New Era for Corporate Reserve Assets

Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed investment firm, has added 136 Bitcoin (BTC) to its treasury, bringing its total holdings to 20,136 BTC, valued at approximately $2.06 billion at current prices. This acquisition, made at an average price of nearly $112,000 per coin, brings the firm’s total investment in Bitcoin to over $2 billion [2]. The company’s Bitcoin stash now positions it as the sixth-largest publicly traded firm holding Bitcoin, according to tracking data [1]. CEO Simon Gerovich has outlined a long-term goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027, a target that, if realized, would make Metaplanet the second-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, trailing only Strategy [1].

The recent purchase follows a broader trend of corporate and national Bitcoin accumulation. Metaplanet’s BTC yield metric, which measures the growth of Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share, surged by 129.4% in Q2 and increased by 30.8% in Q3 to date [2]. This metric, distinct from traditional asset yield, underscores the company’s strategic focus on Bitcoin as a reserve asset. The firm’s Bitcoin treasury continues to expand amid a shifting crypto market sentiment, as reflected in the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, which recently returned to a "neutral" reading after several days in the "fear" zone [1].

While Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy has driven significant growth in its holdings, its stock performance has not mirrored the same momentum. Shares of the firm have fallen more than 30% over the past month, partly due to a decline in Bitcoin’s price and a shrinking mNAV (the premium of the company’s market cap relative to its Bitcoin holdings) [2]. Despite this, Metaplanet’s stock remains up 92.45% year to date. In response to capital constraints, the firm announced plans to raise an additional $880 million through a public share offering in overseas markets on August 27 [1].

The company’s move aligns with broader corporate and national strategies to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Strategy, currently the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with 636,505 BTC, continues to expand its holdings under the leadership of CEO Michael Saylor, who frequently signals upcoming Bitcoin purchases on social media [1]. Meanwhile, El Salvador’s government added 21 BTC to its treasury on the anniversary of its Bitcoin legal tender law, which took effect in September 2021. The country’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 6,313 BTC [1].

Collectively, publicly traded companies with Bitcoin treasuries now hold over 1 million BTC, with corporate investors accounting for a growing portion of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply [2]. These developments reflect a maturing market in which Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a strategic reserve asset, rather than a speculative investment.
