Metaplanet Stocks Jumps 14% After New Bitcoin Purchase Amid Market Dip
Metaplanet increased its Bitcoin holdings during a price dip, causing its stock to surge, demonstrating confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value.
Despite market volatility influenced by factors like Trump's tariffs, Bitcoin is showing signs of recovery, with whales actively buying the dip.
Metaplanet's Bitcoin investment strategy has yielded significant returns, exceeding its quarterly goals and driving its stock price up.
Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin holdings, taking advantage of the recent market dip. This move comes as Bitcoin recovers from a sharp drop, climbing over 4.5% from its low of $83,000 earlier this week. Following the announcement, Metaplanet’s stock surged 14%, showing strong investor confidence in the company’s Bitcoin strategy.
Bitcoin is currently trading at $87,166 after bouncing back from its recent lows. Market volatility has been driven in part by Trump’s new tariffs, which triggered a broader sell-off.
But what’s driving this latest Bitcoin dip? And why are institutional players like Metaplanet buying more instead of backing off? Let’s break it down.
Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings
Often called Japan’s MicroStrategy, Metaplanet continues to grow its Bitcoin reserves. The company announced today that it purchased 497 BTC for $43.9 million at an average price of $88,448 per coin, according to CEO Simon Gerovich.
As of March 5, 2025, Metaplanet holds a total of 2,888 BTC, with a total investment of $240.2 million. The company’s average purchase price stands at $83,172 per Bitcoin. Despite market fluctuations, Metaplanet’s continued accumulation highlights its long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s value.
Strong Bitcoin Yield Drives Stock Surge
Metaplanet has had a strong start to 2025, reporting a Bitcoin yield of 45.1% year-to-date – well above its target of 35% per quarter. In comparison, its yield from Q4 2024 was an impressive 309.8%.
Thanks to this strong performance, Metaplanet’s stock jumped 16.89% to 3,910 JPY. The stock had previously hit a record high of 7,000 JPY in February 2025 before dropping nearly 50% as Bitcoin corrected. Now, after bouncing off a support level at 3,310 JPY, the stock is regaining momentum, signaling a potential recovery.
Whales Buy the Dip as Market Stabilizes
After Bitcoin dropped to $83,000 on Monday, large investors took the opportunity to accumulate more. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that since Bitcoin fell below $88,000 on February 24, whales have bought over 20,000 BTC, showing strong demand.
Martinez also pointed out that Bitcoin’s Sharpe ratio is shifting from “High Risk” to “Low Risk.” This indicates a more favorable market environment, suggesting investors are accumulating BTC in anticipation of future gains.
The latest dip may have shaken some investors, but for the big players, it’s just another opportunity to accumulate.
