MetaPlanet Adds 1,111 More Bitcoins, Now Holds Over $1 Billion in BTC

Another week, another bitcoin stash purchase – Metaplanet, known as Japan’s MicroStrategy, has just announced a major Bitcoin purchase, adding 1,111 BTC to its holdings for approximately 17.26 billion yen (around $118 million). 

This buying came amid the ongoing Iran-Israel war, which has caused the entire crypto market to drop 5% to 10%.

Metaplanet Bought 1,100 Bitcoin

According to the Metaplanet report, the latest Bitcoin was purchased at an average price of 15,535,502 yen per BTC, which is roughly $105,946 per Bitcoin. Despite the high price tag, MetaPlanet seems calm. 

What makes this move even more remarkable is the 306.7% year-to-date (YTD) return MetaPlanet has achieved in 2025 alone. 

This performance reflects not just Bitcoin’s strong rally this year, but also the firm’s strategic timing and belief in Bitcoin as a store of value.

Metaplanet 1% Bitcoin Plan

As of June 23, the Metaplanet holds a massive 11,111 BTC, acquired for around $1.07 billion, at an average cost basis of $95,869 per Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, just last week, Metaplanet bought 1,112 more Bitcoins for about $117.2 million. But the company isn’t stopping there. 

Metaplanet has already announced plans to raise $5.4 billion, aiming to own 1% of all Bitcoin in existence, about 210,000 BTC, by the end of 2027. It’s one of the boldest Bitcoin strategies ever seen from a public company.

Metaplanet Stock Price plummets by 8%

The market has been watching Metaplanet’s Bitcoin moves closely. After the announcement, Metaplanet’s stock price showed some volatility. On June 23, 2025, Metaplanet shares closed at 1635 JYP, down 8.77% for the day, following a period of strong gains earlier in the month. 

The recent dip reflects broader market jitters, not just from the Bitcoin purchase but also due to the escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has rattled global stocks.
