Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-listed investment firm, has acquired an additional 555 Bitcoin. The latest purchase cost the company $49.6 million. This move brings its total holdings to 5,555 BTC, now worth more than $482 million at current prices.
The firm’s average purchase price across all acquisitions now stands at $86,672 per Bitcoin. For this latest batch, the company paid an average of $96,134 per coin. The consistent accumulation reflects Metaplanet’s decision to convert a significant portion of its capital reserves into Bitcoin.
The company first began its Bitcoin strategy in April 2024. Since then, it has positioned itself as a prominent player in the digital asset space. Metaplanet is using Bitcoin as a treasury asset to counter growing macroeconomic uncertainty.
Bond-Financed Strategy Fuels Expansion
To fund its purchases, Metaplanet launched a new bond issuance, raising $25 million. This marks the 13th such bond issued by the firm. Just a week earlier, it had completed its 12th bond offering, which raised an identical amount.
The use of bond funding has become central to Metaplanet’s crypto investment approach. The repeated offerings show strong market appetite for the company’s debt instruments. Investors appear to support the strategy as a way to gain exposure to Bitcoin through traditional finance structures.
Following the announcement, Metaplanet’s stock rose by 13%. The market’s response signals growing confidence in the firm’s long-term Bitcoin plan. The company’s ability to raise capital consistently for crypto purchases reinforces its position in the market.
Expansion to the U.S. Market Begins
Metaplanet is now the largest public Bitcoin holder in Asia. Globally, it ranks eleventh among corporate holders. It sits behind major firms like Strategy, which hold significantly more, but the gap is narrowing.
To further boost its presence, Metaplanet plans to expand into the U.S. market. It announced that it will open a branch office in Miami. The move aligns with the firm’s strategy to deepen involvement in the American Bitcoin ecosystem.
The company aims to hold 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. With 5,555 Bitcoin already secured, it has crossed the halfway mark. Metaplanet continues to signal its strong commitment to crypto as a core part of its corporate strategy.
