Japanese public company Metaplanet has further cemented its position as a leading corporate Bitcoin holder, announcing the acquisition of an additional 797 Bitcoin (BTC). The purchase was executed at an average price of $117,451 per BTC, bringing the firm's total cryptocurrency holdings to an impressive 16,352 BTC, currently valued at approximately $1.95 billion, according to data from SoSoValue’s Bitcoin Treasuries dashboard.
This latest $93.6 million acquisition, however, marks a notable shift in Metaplanet's purchasing cadence. It represents a substantial decrease in activity compared to the previous week, when the company made a significantly larger acquisition of 2,205 Bitcoin for $238.7 million at an average price of $108,237. The current purchase volume is approximately 64% lower, with a 61% decline in total investment value week-over-week. This suggests a more measured and strategic approach to accumulation, particularly as Bitcoin's price continues to trade at higher levels.
Metaplanet has rapidly emerged as one of Asia’s most aggressive corporate adopters of Bitcoin, closely mirroring the "Bitcoin Standard" strategy championed by MicroStrategy in the United States. The company’s average acquisition price across all its purchases stands at approximately $100,191, indicating substantial unrealized gains on its growing Bitcoin treasury.
The sustained accumulation pattern by Metaplanet underscores a firm institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition. This conviction is further bolstered by the ongoing global monetary expansion and the accelerating institutional demand for digital assets. The timing of reduced purchase volumes coincides with Bitcoin trading near its recent all-time highs, potentially indicating a shrewd, price-sensitive component within Metaplanet’s sophisticated treasury management strategy, aiming to optimize its average cost basis over time.
