Metaplanet announced that the company has purchased an additional 1,111 Bitcoins as part of its Bitcoin treasury operations. The company’s total BTC holdings now stand at 11,111, with a combined value of over $1.07 billion. Metaplanet purchased the cryptocurrency for an average price of 15,535,502 Japanese yen (approximately $106,408). The company’s shares (3350T), which are traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, fell 5.05 percent in the last 24 hours to 1,690 yen. However, the stock has increased by over 373 percent since the beginning of the year.
Metaplanet purchased 1,111 Bitcoins
Japanese technology firm Metaplanet announced on Monday, June 23 that it has purchased an additional 1,111 Bitcoins (BTC). The company's total BTC holdings thus reached 11,111 units, leaving Hut8 behind and ranking eighth among institutional BTC holders. The total return on BTC assets since the beginning of 2025 has reached 306.7 percent.
This new move by Metaplanet coincides with a period of increasing geopolitical risks. With the re-emergence of Iran-Israel tensions over the weekend, the Bitcoin price briefly fell below $ 100,000. This decline turned into a "bottom-buy" opportunity for the company. However, on the same day, Metaplanet shares lost 4 percent of their value and fell to 1,712 Japanese Yen in the Tokyo session.
Average purchase price $95,869
Metaplanet's new investment of 1,111 BTC cost approximately $ 118.2 million. The company's total BTC investment thus reached $ 1.07 billion. The annual average purchase price is $ 95,869 per BTC. The company, which had only 1,000 BTC at the beginning of 2025, quickly passed the 10,000 BTC mark with an aggressive purchasing strategy.
Last week, Metaplanet completed its 20th to 22nd series of stock purchase rights as part of the agreements made with EVO FUND. The funding of 558.7 million Japanese Yen provided by the fund was directed directly to BTC purchases.
Purpose: 1% of the entire BTC supply
The company's long-term goal is extremely ambitious: to purchase 1 percent of Bitcoin's total supply, or 210,000 BTC. Metaplanet had previously announced its plan to create a $5.4 billion fund in line with this goal in recent months. If this goal is achieved, Metaplanet will achieve a first in the industry with both its BTC holdings and its crypto strategy.
On the other hand, the decline in Metaplanet's share price is not only related to the company's BTC purchases, but also to the increasing perception of global risk. Following news that the US had launched attacks targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, selling pressure intensified in the crypto market. Iran’s announcement that it was temporarily closing the Strait of Hormuz also brought about major fluctuations in the energy market. Amid these developments, the price of Bitcoin fell below the $100,000 level on Sunday, but as of the time of writing, it has risen again above $101,000.
