New Acquisition Raises Total to 17,595 BTC

The latest acquisition was executed at an average price of $115,895 per BTC. This brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin investment to approximately $1.78 billion. The firm’s average purchase price across all holdings now stands at $101,422 per coin.

Since launching its Bitcoin strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has steadily increased its holdings. As of August 4, 2025, the company reported a year-to-date BTC yield of 459.2%. This performance underlines its commitment to Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset.

Metaplanet Joins Leading Bitcoin Treasury Holders 

With the new total, Metaplanet now ranks seventh among public companies with the largest Bitcoin reserves. The firm follows behind major players such as Strategy, MARA, XXI, Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, Riot, and Trump Media.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is currently trading near $114,500, according to market data. At this valuation, Metaplanet’s BTC portfolio is valued at over $2 billion. This ranking reflects the firm’s strategic focus on digital assets despite broader market volatility.

Perpetual Shares to Fuel Future BTC Buys

Metaplanet recently announced a financing plan to issue JPY555 billion in perpetual preferred shares. The funds will be allocated exclusively for further Bitcoin purchases. These shares come without a maturity date and are part of a broader strategy to optimize capital structure.

The approach aims to increase the number of Bitcoins held per share. It also gives Metaplanet access to long-term funding without diluting common shareholders. The company believes this method supports shareholder value and strengthens its Bitcoin acquisition strategy.

Goal Set at 210K BTC by 2027

Metaplanet has announced publicly that its long-term vision is to have more than 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. This would be 1% of the total number of Bitcoins in circulation. The company’s strategy is to accumulate reserves via long-term acquisitions.

As regulatory clarity increases and institutional demand increases, Metaplanet will be able to continue at a fast rate. Its strategy is an indication of increasing trust of listed companies in Bitcoin as a store of value.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy.
