CEO Simon Gerovich isn’t shy about their strategy.
“We’re not just buying BTC for the sake of it.”
He says, clearly keen on stacking more of the world’s favorite cryptocurrency. In total, Metaplanet’s BTC holdings have cost them around $1.85 billion, with an average purchase price of $101,911 per coin. Pretty solid, if you ask me.

The Market’s Rollercoaster Ride
But they’re not stopping here. The company is also raising a cool $3.7 billion by issuing new perpetual preferred shares. This will fund even more bitcoin acquisitions in the near future.
However, not all is rosy in the market. Bitcoin itself saw a 2.4% drop recently, trading at $118,883, although it’s up 4% over the past week. As for Metaplanet’s stock? It dipped by 1.6% on Tuesday, and it’s down 37% from last month. But hey, it’s still up 183% year-to-date, so it’s not all bad news.
With 18,113 BTC in its vault, Metaplanet now ranks sixth globally in bitcoin holdings, trailing behind big players like Strategy, MARA, and Riot. And Strategy? It just bought another 155 BTC for around $18 million, because why not add more?
