Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed investment firm known for its strategic accumulation of Bitcoin (BTC), recently acquired a total of 2,223 BTC in two separate transactions. The firm purchased 1,112 BTC during a period of notable geopolitical unrest, particularly the Iran-Israel conflict, which also coincided with a 4% decline in Metaplanet’s stock value. Following this, Metaplanet added another 1,111 BTC to its holdings for $117 million at an average price of approximately $105,681 per BTC, despite recent bitcoin market volatility spurred by U.S. military actions in Iran.
These purchases have increased Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to over 11,100 BTC, valued at more than $1.1 billion, with an average acquisition price of around $95,700 per BTC. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that these acquisitions have propelled the firm’s year-to-date Bitcoin yield to 266.1% in 2025, underscoring the company’s commitment to Bitcoin as a reserve asset and its role within corporate treasury strategies.
While Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation mirrors similar strategies employed by firms like MicroStrategy, the firm’s stock price faced downward pressure due to broader geopolitical uncertainties, overshadowing the potential positive market impact of their cryptocurrency purchases. Analysts note that despite the short-term stock decline, Metaplanet’s strategic Bitcoin buys signify robust corporate adoption trends for Bitcoin globally, possibly encouraging similar large-scale acquisitions by other enterprises.
