Japan’s MetaPlanet Buys 797 More Bitcoins, Total Holdings Exceed 16,000 BTC

Tokyo-based public company MetaPlanet Inc. (TSE: 3350) has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings again, deepening its commitment to digital assets. On July 14, 2025, the company announced a strategic acquisition of 797 BTC, worth approximately 13.8 billion Japanese yen (~$85 million USD), as part of its growing “Bitcoin Treasury Business” strategy.

Nearly 800 BTC Added at ¥17.31 Million Per Coin

MetaPlanet disclosed that it purchased 797 BTC at an average price of ¥17,312,239 JPY per Bitcoin. The total investment for this round reached ¥13.798 billion JPY. With this addition, the company’s cumulative Bitcoin holdings have now climbed to 16,352 BTC, with a total investment of ¥239.6 billion JPY and an average cost basis of approximately ¥14.65 million JPY per coin.

A Rapid Accumulation: From 161 BTC to 16,000+ in One Year

MetaPlanet’s Bitcoin accumulation began in earnest in mid-2024. On July 1, 2024, the company held just 161.3 BTC. Fast forward one year, and that number has multiplied more than 100 times. Here’s a look at some key milestones:

• Dec 23, 2024: 1,762 BTC
• Mar 31, 2025: 4,046 BTC
• Jun 30, 2025: 13,350 BTC
• Jul 14, 2025: 16,352 BTC

This timeline illustrates not only aggressive buying but an accelerated accumulation pace, particularly in the first half of 2025.

Backed by Capital Markets: A Strategic Blend of Equity and Debt

In addition to its Bitcoin acquisitions, MetaPlanet continues to actively manage its corporate financing. According to the latest disclosures:

• On July 4, the company repaid ¥6 billion JPY in corporate bonds ahead of schedule.
• The funds came from the execution of Series 20 stock acquisition rights.
• Shortly after, on July 10, MetaPlanet issued 9 million new shares via the same rights offering.

This financial maneuvering illustrates how MetaPlanet is leveraging capital market tools—both debt and equity—to support its Bitcoin strategy without overexposing itself to any single funding source.
