Metaplanet Bitcoin Investment Hits $363M After Latest 160 BTC Buy

Japanese hotel giant Metaplanet is making another major move in Bitcoin. The company has just acquired 160 BTC at an average price of $83,600 per coin, adding $13.4 million to its growing crypto reserves. This brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to 4,206 BTC, with a total investment now at $363.5 million.

This latest Bitcoin purchase is part of Metaplanet’s broader strategy to increase its crypto holdings. On Monday, the company issued 2 billion yen, or about $13.3 million, in zero-interest bonds, with all the proceeds going toward buying more Bitcoin.

Smart Moves to Build a Crypto Empire

On Tuesday, Metaplanet made another bold financial move by purchasing 696 BTC using funds raised from selling cash-secured put options. This is part of the company’s strategy to use traditional financial tools like bonds, equity-linked products, and derivatives to expand its Bitcoin reserves.

Metaplanet is quickly becoming one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in Asia by using creative investment tactics that set it apart from other companies in the region.

Strong Bitcoin Returns Are Paying Off

Metaplanet’s focus on Bitcoin is proving to be highly profitable. The company achieved a 95.6% yield on its Bitcoin holdings in the first quarter of 2025 and has started the second quarter with a solid 3.9% return.

Right now, Metaplanet is the ninth-largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin worldwide and the biggest in Asia. The company has set ambitious targets, aiming for 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026.

Despite these strong gains, Metaplanet’s stock dipped slightly by 0.98% in Japan on Wednesday morning, while the Nikkei 225 remained unchanged.
