Metaplanet has announced the acquisition of an additional 162 BTC at an average price of 12.39 million yen per Bitcoin (approximately 83,635) as part of its ongoing strategy to strengthen its Bitcoin Treasury Operation.
With this latest purchase, the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings have surged to 3,050 BTC, valued at nearly 250 million.
According to the official announcement, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Treasury has now exceeded the 3,000 BTC mark, reinforcing its status as a major institutional holder in the cryptocurrency market. Often referred to as the “Asian MicroStrategy,” Metaplanet has steadily increased its Bitcoin reserves since April 2024 as part of a long-term investment strategy to capitalize on the digital asset’s potential growth.

Since beginning its Bitcoin purchases in April 2024, Metaplanet’s stock price has skyrocketed by over 3,000%, earning the title of Japan’s best-performing stock. On March 12, the company’s shares rose by 8.6%, adding 290 points to 3,630 yen. As a result, Metaplanet’s market capitalization now stands at approximately 141.8 billion yen, according to data from Yahoo Finance.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has shown signs of recovery, rising by over 1.8% in the past 24 hours. Despite the uptick, it remains below its previous peak of 90,000, with a sharp decline from its all-time high.
The Japanese investment firm also revealed that it approved zero-interest bonds valued at 2 billion yen (about 13.3 million) on March 12, aimed at strengthening its Bitcoin Treasury. These bonds are set to mature in September 2025 and are intended to enhance Metaplanet’s long-term Bitcoin strategy.
Notably, Metaplanet recently introduced two new performance metrics, “BTC Gain” and “BTC ¥ Gain,” to enhance transparency in its Bitcoin treasury operations. These metrics will complement the existing “BTC Yield” metric introduced in 2024, providing shareholders with better insights into capital allocation strategies and the performance of Bitcoin acquisitions.
