Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings by 800 BTC Amid Price Surge

Metaplanet, a prominent Japanese investment firm, has significantly bolstered its Bitcoin holdings as the cryptocurrency's price surged to unprecedented levels. The company recently acquired nearly 800 BTC, valued at approximately $94 million, at an average cost of around $117,000 per Bitcoin. This purchase was made as the price of Bitcoin soared past $121,000, reflecting the firm's aggressive strategy in accumulating digital assets. With this latest acquisition, Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings now exceed 16,000 BTC, valued at around $1.64 billion. The firm's 2025 performance has already shown a remarkable return of over 435%.

Over the past month, Metaplanet has added more than 7,400 BTC to its portfolio, with 3,000 of those coins purchased in the past week alone. This aggressive buying spree mirrors the growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, as inflows into spot ETFs have crossed $2.7 billion in the past seven days. Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy has also indicated that more BTC purchases are on the horizon, intensifying the competition for supply.

Despite these bold moves, Metaplanet's stock has not yet shown a dramatic response. However, analysts remain optimistic, projecting a significant upside in its share price. They point to a declining mNAV ratio, which could make the stock more attractive as its crypto reserves continue to grow. The surge in Bitcoin's price has pushed its market cap to $2.4 trillion, surpassing that of major corporations like Amazon and Alphabet. This bullish trend is further supported by signs of increased market activity, including a surge in short liquidations and futures activity, indicating that the bull market may have further to run.
