Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Treasury to 43,000 BTC After $170.7 Million Purchase

Tokyo-listed Metaplanet (3350) has strengthened its position as one of the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holders after acquiring an additional 2,823 BTC valued at approximately $170.7 million. The latest purchase increases the company's total Bitcoin treasury to 43,000 BTC, worth roughly $2.6 billion at current market prices.

The acquisition places Metaplanet as the third-largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data. The Japanese firm now trails only Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) and Twenty One Capital (NASDAQ: XXI) in total corporate Bitcoin holdings, underscoring its aggressive long-term cryptocurrency investment strategy.

Investor sentiment remained positive following the announcement, with Metaplanet shares closing 3.5% higher at 207 yen ($1.28) on Thursday. The stock's performance reflects growing market confidence in the company's Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy and expanding digital asset portfolio.

In addition to announcing the latest Bitcoin purchase, Metaplanet released its second-quarter fiscal year 2026 results for its Bitcoin Income Generation business. The segment generated approximately 1.75 billion yen ($10.85 million) in operating revenue during the quarter, lifting first-half revenue to around 4.72 billion yen.

Metaplanet's Bitcoin Income Generation business is designed to create recurring revenue through Bitcoin options strategies while simultaneously increasing the company's cryptocurrency holdings. This approach allows the company to monetize its Bitcoin exposure without deviating from its broader accumulation strategy.

On a trailing 12-month basis, the Bitcoin Income Generation division produced approximately 11.4 billion yen in revenue, highlighting the growing contribution of the business to the company's overall financial performance.

The latest results reinforce Metaplanet's dual-pronged strategy of expanding its Bitcoin treasury while building a sustainable source of recurring cash flow. As institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to rise, the company is positioning itself not only as a major corporate Bitcoin holder but also as a business capable of generating consistent income from its digital asset operations. This combination of Bitcoin accumulation and revenue generation continues to differentiate Metaplanet within the growing market of publicly traded companies investing in cryptocurrency.
