Metaplanet’s Strategic Bitcoin Accumulation

Metaplanet recently acquired 4,279 Bitcoin in Q4 2025, raising its total holdings to 35,102 BTC. The purchase follows a strategic plan aimed at increasing Bitcoin reserves as Metaplanet re-engages in large-scale Bitcoin accumulation.

CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed the acquisition, emphasizing Metaplanet’s commitment to enhancing shareholder value. The firm allocated $451.06 million for the purchase, demonstrating a strategic move in its Bitcoin treasury approach.

This latest acquisition has significant implications, positioning Metaplanet as the second-largest public BTC holder. The strategy aligns with efforts to hedge against yen depreciation and counteract negative interest rates, thus affecting financial markets.

Metaplanet’s move impacts the company’s financial trajectory by optimizing its Bitcoin treasury management. The acquisition mimics MicroStrategy’s approach and highlights Metaplanet’s focus on Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset.

Metaplanet’s acquisition strategy marks a distinct emphasis on long-term “HODL” policies, showcasing no intention for short-term sales. This highlights confidence in Bitcoin’s role as a strategic financial asset amid fluctuating economic conditions.

Such acquisitions may signal further technological and regulatory interest in corporate crypto holdings. Historical trends indicate growing institutional crypto adoption, supported by robust financial allocation and managerial foresight in leveraging BTC for future growth.

Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, explained, “BTC Yield serves the same role as EPS (Earnings Per Share) for Bitcoin treasury companies. It’s the clearest indicator of how effectively we are increasing BPS (Bitcoin Per Share). Our goal is to accelerate Bitcoin accumulation through effective Bitcoin treasury management, maximize BPS using capital market strategies, and thereby enhance shareholder value.”
