Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has announced the acquisition of another batch of bitcoins: the company bought 463 BTC for $53.7 million. This was reported by the company's CEO Simon Gerovich. The deal was made for 7.995 billion yen, and the average price of one bitcoin was about $115,895. This strengthened Metaplanet's current position in the market, bringing their total holdings to 17,595 BTC.
Thus, the total investment in the first cryptocurrency amounted to about 261.27 billion yen, which is equivalent to about $1.78 billion. The average price of all the company's acquisitions is $101,422 per coin.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading at around $114,293, which means that Metaplanet's current crypto portfolio is in the unrealized profit zone, which is estimated at about $231 million.
Metaplanet is already approaching the number of the largest BTC holders among public and private companies, and may well take the eighth place in the world ranking. Earlier, analysts noted that the total Bitcoin reserves of various companies exceed 1.1 million BTC.
In the official report, Metaplanet presented the profitability of its investments for different quarters. From July to September 2024, the profit was 41.7%, and in the following quarter - already 309.8%. From January to March 2025, the return was 95.6%, and from April to June - 129.4%. Even for the short period from July 1 to 14, the profit reached 24.6%.
Between late June and early August 2025, the company acquired 3,284 BTC, demonstrating a stable and aggressive strategy for accumulating crypto assets. Metaplanet’s ultimate goal is to reach 270,000 BTC by the end of 2026, making it one of the largest institutional investors in Bitcoin in the world.
While other market participants are assessing risks and adjusting strategies, Metaplanet is confidently increasing its positions, believing that digital gold will retain and increase its value over the long term.
