- Metaplanet acquired 5,288 BTC in Q3 2025, bringing its total holdings to 30,823 BTC.

Metaplanet has taken a bold step to expand its bitcoin treasury, acquiring an additional 5,288 BTC during the third quarter of 2025.
With this purchase, the company’s total bitcoin holdings rose to 30,823 BTC, a position now valued at roughly $3.33 billion.
The acquisition was made at an average price of $116,870 per bitcoin, reflecting Metaplanet’s continued confidence in the long-term prospects of the cryptocurrency.
CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that the purchase demonstrates the company’s commitment to maximizing bitcoin returns, which are expected to approach 500% in 2025.
This influx of bitcoin contributed to a sharp rise in Metaplanet’s bitcoin revenue segment, with quarterly revenue increasing an impressive 115.7% compared with the previous quarter.
The company’s strategy to expand operations and deepen its bitcoin treasury is already producing results, substantially strengthening its financial outlook for the year.
Metaplanet Revises 2025 Forecast
Buoyed by strong third-quarter performance, Metaplanet has revised its full-year guidance for 2025 with a more optimistic outlook.
Revenue is now projected at $46.26 million—double earlier estimates—while operating profit guidance has been raised to $31.97 million, an 88% increase.
Gerovich noted that these results demonstrate Metaplanet’s operational scalability, strengthen its position ahead of a planned preferred share issuance, and provide support for its broader bitcoin treasury strategy.
Despite the upbeat financial revision, Metaplanet’s stock fell about 10% during Wednesday trading, closing at ¥516.
That market reaction may reflect broader macroeconomic factors affecting crypto-related assets, adjustments in the company’s equity valuation, and investor caution.
Scaling Beyond Bitcoin
Metaplanet’s growth strategy is not limited to accumulating bitcoin.
The company recently launched Phase II of its expansion, which includes new revenue sources such as the Bitcoin.jp media platform and the upcoming Project Nova. These initiatives aim to create sustainable income streams beyond direct bitcoin holdings.
Metaplanet has also secured strong institutional backing. Capital Group, alongside investors such as Vanguard, JP Morgan, and State Street, acquired an 11.45% stake, reinforcing confidence in the company’s vision.
To fund its ambitious accumulation goals without diluting common shares, the company plans to issue perpetual preferred stock as a capital-raising vehicle.
CEO Gerovich outlined a long-term target of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027—equivalent to roughly 1% of the global bitcoin supply—underscoring Metaplanet’s aim to be a leading institutional bitcoin holder.
