Metaplanet Inc., the Tokyo-listed company often called “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” confirmed on Tuesday that it has purchased a fresh batch of Bitcoin worth $451 million as part of its ongoing corporate treasury strategy. The acquisition consisting of 4,279 BTC during the fourth quarter of 2025 brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 35,102 BTC.
According to company disclosures and executive posts on social media, Metaplanet paid an average price of approximately $105,412 per Bitcoin for this latest purchase. As of the latest market pricing, these holdings are valued at over $3 billion, though the total cost basis across all BTC stands at around $3.78 billion. The firm also highlighted a BTC Yield of 568.2% year-to-date in 2025, a metric it uses to illustrate performance relative to shareholder value.
Bitcoin Weakness Pressures Stock Despite New Capital Raise
Despite this aggressive accumulation, Metaplanet’s stock took a hit on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Shares in the company, trading under ticker 3350, fell roughly 7.95%, closing near 405 JPY on Tuesday following the announcement. Market observers linked the downturn to broader pressure on Bitcoin prices, which have recently dipped below key levels and weighed on investor sentiment toward Bitcoin-heavy companies.
The sell-off in the stock came even as the company completed a capital raise by issuing 23.6 million preferred “MERCURY” shares, a move aimed at funding further Bitcoin buys and supporting its income-generating strategies tied to its BTC treasury. Management has repeatedly stated its ambition to eventually hold 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026, signaling that strategic accumulation remains central to its long-term vision.
Bitcoin itself remains under selling pressure, trading lower to $86,735.54 the past 24 hours, which likely added to the downward momentum in Metaplanet’s share price.
