Golden Finance reports that Tokyo-listed company Metaplanet has once again made waves in the field of cryptocurrency investment. According to the CEO of Metaplanet, the company purchased an additional 1,112 BTC at a unit price of $105,435, with a total investment amount reaching as high as $117.2 million.
With the deal settled, Metaplanet’s total BTC holdings successfully climbed to 10,000. Looking back on its investment journey, the company has invested a large amount of money in accumulating these Bitcoins, with a total cost of approximately 947 million US dollars. After calculation, the average purchase cost of each Bitcoin is 94,697 US dollars. It is worth mentioning that since the beginning of 2025, the return rate of Metaplanet’s BTC investment has reached 266.1%, achieving remarkable results.
As early as the beginning of this year, Simon Gerovich, the CEO of Metaplanet, clearly stated that the company plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 by 2025 by using various financing methods such as loans, equity and convertible bonds. Now that this goal has been achieved, it demonstrates the company’s firm execution in its cryptocurrency investment strategy. In the past few months, Metaplanet has frequently increased its holdings of Bitcoin. For example, during the period from April 25th to 29th, the company increased its holdings of 165 Bitcoins, and the total holdings reached 3,467. Shortly afterwards, it spent another 53.4 million US dollars to increase its holdings by 555 Bitcoins. Meanwhile, the company also issued ordinary bonds worth 25 million US dollars for additional Bitcoin purchases.
Metaplanet is actively laying out Bitcoin assets. On the one hand, it is due to its optimism about the long-term development potential of the cryptocurrency market. On the other hand, the company’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, has publicly stated that Bitcoin is a “nuclear weapon” against the depreciation of the Japanese yen and global economic uncertainties. In addition, Metaplanet has renamed its hotels as Bitcoin Hotels, attempting to attract the global crypto community and further promote the application and popularization of Bitcoin.
In the current cryptocurrency market, the price of Bitcoin fluctuates sharply but shows an overall upward trend. The price was around $42,000 at the beginning of the year. By the end of the year, it had soared to $93,000, with an increase of up to 120%, and even once exceeded the $100,000 mark. Metaplanet’s large-scale increase in its holdings of Bitcoin this time, what impact will it have on the company’s market value and investment returns in the future, and whether it will prompt other enterprises to follow suit and trigger a new craze in the field of cryptocurrency investment, is closely watched by all market participants. Golden Finance will also continue to follow up and report on the relevant developments.
