Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced on Tuesday that it has acquired an additional 135 Bitcoin, investing approximately $12.9 million in the top crypto. This latest purchase brings the company's total holdings to 2,235 BTC, a significant increase from 1,761 BTC at the end of 2023 and 141 BTC recorded at the end of June 2024.
The acquisition was made at an average price of 14.3 million yen, or about $95,951 per Bitcoin. Metaplanet has outlined a strategic goal to increase its total Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, with a longer-term target of 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
This move underscores the firm's commitment to its Bitcoin treasury operations, which it officially designated as a core business line in December 2024.
Despite the positive trajectory of its Bitcoin investments, Metaplanet's stock experienced a decline of 1.3% during midday trading on Tuesday.
However, the company's stock price has seen substantial gains, rising 67.5% since the beginning of 2025 and climbing 233.7% over the past year, according to data from Google Finance.
Metaplanet's ongoing accumulation strategy reflects a growing trend among institutional investors in the cryptocurrency market. As firms increasingly recognize the potential of Bitcoin as a long-term asset, Metaplanet's aggressive purchasing strategy positions it as a notable player in the evolving landscape of digital currencies.
