Catenaa, Wednesday, July 08, 2026- Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet expanded its cryptocurrency holdings by 2,823 Bitcoin during the second quarter, increasing its total reserve to 43,000 BTC despite a sharp decline in Bitcoin prices over the three-month period.
The company disclosed that it invested approximately ¥35.9 billion, or about $222 million, in Bitcoin purchases between April and June, paying an average of ¥12.7 million, or roughly $78,600, per Bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s cumulative Bitcoin treasury now represents a total investment of ¥659.2 billion, equivalent to approximately $4.07 billion, with an overall average acquisition price of ¥15.3 million, or about $94,800, per coin.
The latest purchases reinforce the company’s long-term strategy of building one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin reserves.
Although Metaplanet continued accumulating Bitcoin throughout the quarter, its purchasing pace moderated compared with previous periods.
The company acquired 17,473 BTC during the third quarter of 2025, followed by 4,279 BTC in the fourth quarter and 5,075 BTC during the first quarter of 2026.
The second-quarter addition of 2,823 BTC represents the slowest quarterly accumulation since the company adopted its aggressive Bitcoin treasury strategy.
Despite the slower pace, management remains committed to acquiring 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026 and expanding its holdings to 210,000 BTC by the close of 2027.
Beyond accumulating Bitcoin, Metaplanet continues generating income from its digital asset portfolio.
During the second quarter, the company earned approximately $10.95 million through its Bitcoin Income Generation program.
The strategy utilizes Bitcoin options to generate additional returns while maintaining long-term exposure to the cryptocurrency.
The approach reflects a growing trend among corporate Bitcoin holders seeking to enhance treasury performance without reducing core holdings.
Metaplanet expanded its treasury during one of the weakest quarters for Bitcoin in recent years.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency declined approximately 20.4% during the second quarter, falling from around $73,580 at the beginning of the period to roughly $58,560 by quarter-end.
Despite the market correction, Metaplanet continued purchasing Bitcoin at prices well below its long-term average acquisition cost.
The strategy demonstrates the company’s willingness to accumulate assets during periods of market weakness rather than attempting to time short-term price movements.
The company is also broadening its financial services business.
Earlier this year, Metaplanet announced plans to acquire Siiibo Securities, a licensed Japanese securities firm specializing in the online corporate bond market.
The acquisition is intended to support the development and distribution of Bitcoin-linked investment and yield products for domestic investors.
Management believes combining regulated financial services with digital asset expertise will strengthen its position within Japan’s evolving cryptocurrency market.
Metaplanet’s shares responded positively following the latest disclosure.
The company’s Tokyo-listed stock gained 3.5% after the announcement, while its U.S. over-the-counter shares also recorded gains as investors welcomed continued progress toward its long-term Bitcoin accumulation targets.
The latest update further cements Metaplanet’s position as Asia’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder and one of the world’s leading institutional investors in the digital asset.
Metaplanet has emerged as one of the world’s most aggressive corporate Bitcoin accumulation companies, following a strategy similar to that pioneered by U.S.-based Strategy. The firm has transformed its treasury operations by allocating substantial corporate capital to Bitcoin while also developing revenue-generating products linked to digital assets. As institutional adoption of Bitcoin expands globally, publicly listed companies are increasingly viewing the cryptocurrency as a strategic reserve asset and long-term store of value. Metaplanet’s ambitious goal of accumulating 210,000 BTC by 2027 would make it one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin worldwide.
