Metaplanet, often referred to as the "MicroStrategy of Asia", continues to strengthen its position in the crypto market as the company has just made a new Bitcoin purchase.
Specifically, the company spent $26.3 million to purchase 269.43 BTC, bringing the total number of Bitcoins the company holds to over 2,000 BTC. This event not only caused Metaplanet's stock price to surge 8%, but also helped the company's stock trade above 6,500 JPY. Since the beginning of 2025, Metaplanet's stock price has increased by more than 78%.
CEO Simon Gerovich revealed that the company made the Bitcoin purchase at an Medium price of $97,481 per BTC, achieving a yield of 15.3% as of 2025.
As of February 17, 2025, Metaplanet holds 2,031 BTC, purchased at a total cost of approximately $163.3 million, with an Medium price of $80,394 per Bitcoin.
The company's Bitcoin yield, reflected in the increase in the value of Bitcoin compared to the fully diluted shares, reached 309.8% in Q4 2024 and 15.3% in 2025. It is known that Metaplanet used the Capital raised from the issuance of shares to make this latest Bitcoin purchase.
To continue expanding its Bitcoin investment portfolio, Metaplanet plans to issue 21 million new shares, which will be sold at a 0% discount through transfer orders. The company expects to raise about 116 billion yen (equivalent to $740 million) from this issuance. The share buyback period will run from February 18, 2025 to February 17, 2027.
This is one of the largest Capital raising events in the history of the Asian stock market, clearly demonstrating Metaplanet's determination to expand its investment in Bitcoin. CEO Simon Gerovich has also shared the company's goal of reaching 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, while implementing collaborative strategies to promote the adoption of Bitcoin in Japan.
Metaplanet's Bitcoin purchase transaction took place in the context of Bitcoin trading at $96,331, amid some mild selling pressure. However, Bitcoin "whales" continue to accumulate. According to a report from SpotOnChain, a new wallet has withdrawn 568.74 BTC from the Binance exchange within four days, worth $55.04 million, equivalent to an Medium price of $96,769 per BTC.
Metaplanet's strong increase in Bitcoin investment, combined with the current market trend, may have a significant impact on the company's stock price as well as the value of Bitcoin in the future. This action also shows that the company is affirming its seriousness in building a long-term financial strategy with Bitcoin as the focus.
Metaplanet is continuing to develop strongly in the crypto market and is determined to increase its presence in the international market. Expanding the Bitcoin investment portfolio not only helps the company benefit from the growth potential of the crypto market, but also demonstrates Metaplanet's strategic vision in creating long-term value for shareholders.
