Market observers note Metaplanet’s acquisition aligns with its strategy to bolster reserves, impacting Bitcoin market sentiment.
Metaplanet’s significant purchase of 1,004 Bitcoins has led to a substantial stock increase. This latest acquisition boosts their total holdings to 7,800 BTC, representing 78% of their 10,000 BTC target.
The acquisition cost Metaplanet around 15.195 billion yen ($104 million), reflecting a purchase price of approximately 15.13 million yen per Bitcoin. The stock jumped 15% following the announcement on May 19, 2025.
This purchase illustrates a strategic push by Metaplanet toward accumulating digital assets.
