Metaplanet Acquires 136 More Bitcoin as It Races Toward 2026 Target

In brief

  • Metaplanet has bought another 136 BTC for $15.2 million, bringing total holdings to 20,136 BTC.
  • The firm achieved “BTC Yield of 487% YTD 2025” with an average purchase price of $103,196.
  • The company is 20% toward its revised 2026 goal of 100,000 BTC, up from its original target of 21,000.

Metaplanet Inc. announced on Monday that it has purchased an additional 136 BTC for approximately $15.2 million as it pushes toward its target of accumulating 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 100,000 BTC by 2026.

The Tokyo-listed investment firm paid an average of $111,666( ¥16.55 million) per Bitcoin in its latest acquisition, according to the filing

The latest purchase pushes Metaplanet’s Bitcoin investment to $2.08 billion (¥304.6 billion) at an average cost of $103,196 (¥15.1 million) per coin, bringing total holdings to 20,136 BTC, making it the sixth-largest public corporate holder of the world’s biggest crypto.

With current holdings of 20,136 BTC, Metaplanet has achieved approximately 67% of its 2025 target and 20% of its 2026 goal.

The company needs to acquire nearly 10,000 more BTC by year-end 2025 and an additional 70,000 by 2026 to meet its ambitious timeline.

The target is a massive expansion from Metaplanet’s original strategy, which initially aimed for just 10,000 BTC by 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026. 

Pranav Agarwal, independent director at Jetking Infotrain India—the country’s first listed bitcoin treasury company, told Decrypt that “Metaplanet seems to be on track with 4 months of the year to go and another 1/3rd of their targets ahead of them.” 

The only thing that could slow this momentum would be “a compression in their market price very close to their BTC NAV,” he said.

Bitcoin treasury companies “have now accumulated over a million BTC (~5%) of circulating supply and as they continue to buy and grow,” he added, saying “it will provide a very strong buying base” for the asset. 

If selling pressure reduces, “these could also lead to large price increases over a short time, but those will typically get sold into with new supply,” he added.

Agarwal said the company is “already managing their risk well through structured debt obligations being very low compared to their total exposure and BTC NAV.” 

Metaplanet recently secured shareholder approval for an $884 million capital raising proposal to address financing challenges.

With a balanced equity issuance and debt program, “Metaplanet won’t face a forced liquidation scenario in the near future,” Agarwal said.

Metaplanet’s stock peaked in 2025 at $13.2 (¥1,930) per share but has since fallen roughly 65%, now trading at about $4.60 (¥680), down $0.20 (¥29) or 4.1% today, according to Google Finance.
