Metaplanet Adds 103 BTC, Holdings Soar to 18,991 Bitcoins

Metaplanet Inc., the Japanese company, recently acquired 103 additional bitcoins, for about $11.7 million. This brought its total reserve to 18,991 BTC. Currently, these holdings are worth between 1.94 and 2.2 billion dollars according to estimates. Metaplanet thus confirms its place among the largest global institutional holders.

A new acquisition that confirms the trend

Metaplanet Inc., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (3350), continues to surprise financial markets. The company has just added 103 bitcoins to its portfolio, for an amount close to 11.7 million dollars. With its previous reserve of 463 BTC at the beginning of the month, this new operation allows Metaplanet to now hold 18,991 BTC, valued at approximately 1.95 billion dollars.

This number is not only impressive by its size. It especially reflects a clear strategy, that of turning bitcoin into the backbone of its treasury.

The average acquisition price is equally significant. The company seems to play a long-term game. It relies on the conviction that the digital asset will continue to outperform traditional currencies. This approach is reminiscent of MicroStrategy in the United States, but applied on a Japanese scale.

The announcement comes at a time when bitcoin remains extremely volatile, but retains its role as a non-correlated reserve asset to classic monetary policies. For Metaplanet, each new purchase is not just a transaction, it is a strategic statement.

Bitcoin returns that defy standards

Beyond acquisitions, the performance figures published by Metaplanet show the scale of this strategy. For the year 2025, the company reports a bitcoin return of 479.5%.

Few traditional assets, whether stocks, bonds or even real estate, can claim such a return on investment.

Detailing quarterly performances, an almost atypical dynamic is observed:

• 41.7% between July and September 2024,
• A spectacular jump of 309.8% between October and December,
• 95.6% in January-March 2025.
• A new surge of 129.4% in the spring
• And finally 29.1% for the period from July 1 to August 25, 2025.

These figures reveal not only strong exposure but also disciplined management of market cycles.

It is not simply accounting gains. Using specific metrics such as “BTC yield”, “BTC gain” and “¥ BTC gain”, Metaplanet imposes on itself an analysis framework focused on the real value of its bitcoin stock, independently from immediate volatility. In other words, the company positions itself as a true pioneer of crypto-adapted accounting.
