Japanese investment firm Metaplanet Inc. has again increased its Bitcoin reserves, purchasing an additional 108.786 BTC for $6.7 million (1 billion yen). The Tokyo-listed company <a href="https://contents.xj-storage.jp/xcontents/33500/dbb660db/aa33/424e/9501/a100101104c4/140120241007594264.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> this acquisition on October 7, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 639.503 BTC, worth about $40.6 million based on current market prices.
The latest purchase reflects Metaplanet’s continued confidence in Bitcoin as a key part of its strategic treasury reserve asset plan.
The firm disclosed that it bought the newly acquired Bitcoin at an average price of 9.19 million yen ($61,880) per BTC. Furthermore, the total average price for all its Bitcoin purchases stands at 9.32 million yen ($62,789) per Bitcoin. The move follows Metaplanet’s earlier announcement in May that it had begun adopting <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/metaplanet-reveals-latest-plan-to-increase-its-bitcoin-holdings/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin as a core part of its treasury strategy</a>.

<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/metaplanet-doubles-down-on-bitcoin-with-purchases-worth-6-9m/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Metaplanet has been actively increasing its Bitcoin holdings</a> in recent months, including a similar purchase last week when it acquired 107.913 BTC for $6.7 million. The firm has also taken an innovative approach to further boost its crypto assets.
Last week, Metaplanet reported earning 23.972 BTC, roughly $1.52 million, by selling Bitcoin options and collecting premiums. This strategy has allowed the company to enhance its position in the market while maintaining a long-term outlook on Bitcoin’s growth potential.
Metaplanet’s stock reacted positively to the latest Bitcoin purchase, surging 11% to 1,017 yen in Monday’s trading session. The broader market was also upbeat, with the Nikkei 225 index climbing 2.2% as of the afternoon session.

While Metaplanet continues its aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin, it remains behind corporate giants like <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/microstrategy-seeks-to-hire-a-bitcoin-advocacy-manager/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Michael Saylor-led MicroStrategy</a>, which <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">holds</a> the title of the largest corporate Bitcoin holder with 252,220 BTC.
Marathon Digital follows with 26,842 BTC. Nevertheless, Metaplanet’s increasing commitment to Bitcoin highlights a growing trend among institutions, as more companies embrace the digital asset as part of their financial strategy.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, has seen a 2.84% price increase over the past 24 hours, trading at $63,594 at the time of writing, recovering from a dip near $60,000 last week.
