Metaplanet buys $170M more bitcoin, treasury swells to 43,000 BTC
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet added 2,823 BTC to its corporate treasury, becoming the third-largest public bitcoin holder behind Strategy and Twenty One Capital.
Metaplanet (3350) has purchased an additional 2,823 bitcoin for approximately $170.7 million, expanding its total corporate treasury to 43,000 BTC valued at $2.6 billion. The Tokyo-listed investment firm announced the acquisition on Thursday, alongside its second-quarter FY2026 results for its Bitcoin Income Generation business. The stock closed 3.5% higher at 207 yen ($1.28) on the day of the announcement.
The purchase cements Metaplanet as the third-largest publicly traded company holding bitcoin, trailing only Strategy (MSTR) and Twenty One Capital (XXI), according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries. The firm's aggressive accumulation strategy mirrors a broader trend among corporate treasuries allocating to bitcoin as a reserve asset. For crypto traders, such large-scale corporate buying reduces the available supply on exchanges, which can act as a bullish signal for price support.

The company's continued bitcoin purchases suggest management views the asset as a core treasury holding. Investors will watch for further accumulation announcements and the impact of bitcoin's price trajectory on Metaplanet's stock performance.
