Metaplanet Doubles Down: Acquires 5,419 BTC, Total Holdings Soar to 25,555 BTC
Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet just dropped another bombshell on traditional finance—adding 5,419 Bitcoin to its already massive treasury.
Strategic Pivot Pays Off
While legacy institutions cling to crumbling fiat systems, Metaplanet keeps stacking sats. Their latest acquisition brings total holdings to 25,555 BTC—a number that would make any central banker sweat.
Corporate Treasury Revolution
Forget bonds and cash reserves. Smart money's flooding into hard assets that can't be printed into oblivion. Metaplanet's move signals a broader corporate shift toward Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset—leaving traditional portfolio managers scrambling to explain their 0% crypto allocations.
Market Impact
This isn't just another corporate purchase—it's a statement. When companies start treating Bitcoin like digital gold while Wall Street still debates its legitimacy, you know which side history will remember.
Meanwhile, traditional finance keeps buying bonds with negative real yields—because nothing says 'prudent investing' like guaranteed purchasing power erosion.
Recent share offering
Metaplanet has been active in the capital markets to fund its Bitcoin purchases. Since July, it has redeemed portions of previously issued bonds and raised money through the exercise of stock acquisition rights.
Earlier this month, the company issued 385 million new shares in an international offering, raising about $1.4B (≈205 billion yen). Most of the proceeds, around 183.7 billion yen, have been allocated for Bitcoin purchases over the next two months. Nearly half of that amount has already been deployed.
Metaplanet began treating Bitcoin as an official business line in late 2024. Since then, it has steadily scaled up its holdings through a combination of equity fundraising and bond activity.
According to Yahoo Finance, Metaplanet’s stock price closed at 597, down ¥11 or 1.65% in Tokyo trading.
