Metaplanet's Bitcoin Treasury Swells Past $2B with New Purchase
Metaplanet's Bitcoin Holdings Exceed $2 Billion
Metaplanet continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, adding another 1,009 BTC in a recent transaction valued at approximately $112 million. This latest purchase brings their total holdings to 20,000 BTC, worth over $2 billion at current market prices.
Rapid Bitcoin Acquisition
Metaplanet has been rapidly increasing its Bitcoin treasury. In August 2025, the company executed several significant acquisitions:
- 463 BTC for $53.7 million
- 518 BTC for $61.4 million
- 775 BTC for $93 million
This latest purchase of 1,009 BTC pushes their holdings beyond the previously reported 18,888 BTC. The company is aiming for 30,000 BTC by year-end, an upward revision from their initial goal of 10,000 BTC.
Funding Strategy
To finance these acquisitions, Metaplanet has secured $837 million through international share offerings, with the majority earmarked for Bitcoin purchases in September and October.
Eric Trump's Advisory Role
Eric Trump, son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, serves as a strategic advisor to Metaplanet's board, a position he assumed in March 2025.
He is expected to attend an upcoming shareholder meeting in Tokyo, where new fundraising methods will be voted on. The agenda includes a potential approval to issue up to 555 million preferred shares, which could generate around $3.7 billion for future Bitcoin acquisitions. The company had already announced plans last week to raise 130.3 billion yen ($880 million) through an overseas share offering.
Market Impact and Performance
Despite the significant Bitcoin purchase, Metaplanet's stock experienced a slight dip of 4.5% on the announcement day, according to Google Finance data.
However, the stock remains up 135% year-to-date, indicating continued investor confidence in the company's strategy. With its current Bitcoin holdings, Metaplanet now ranks as the sixth-largest public Bitcoin treasury globally, surpassing Riot Platforms. Larger holdings are maintained by companies like Strategy and Marathon Digital.
The firm also reported a 31% Bitcoin yield from July to September 1, reflecting the change in the ratio of Bitcoin holdings to fully diluted common shares.
