Metaplanet boosts Bitcoin holdings to 20,136 BTC with $15.2M buy, targeting 210K BTC despite stock decline and risks.
Metaplanet, often called Japan’s “MicroStrategy,” has made another large Bitcoin purchase. On September 6, the company announced it had bought 136 more bitcoins. The cost of purchase was approximately $15.2 million; the average cost of each bitcoin was $111,783. As a result, Metaplanet now owns a total of 20,136 bitcoin. Its total investment in Bitcoin has totaled some $2.057 billion.
Metaplanet Eyes 210K BTC Target Amid Price Volatility
This move is part of Metaplanet’s long-term plan for establishing a strong Bitcoin treasury. According to Yahoo Finance and other sources, the company has been continuously acquiring more Bitcoins throughout 2025. Back in June, it held just over 12,000 BTC. In just a few months, that number has increased by over 8,000 BTC.

Metaplanet uses a special performance metric called “Bitcoin Yield” to measure the success of its crypto strategy. This metric is useful for the company to assess how its Bitcoin purchases are providing value for its shareholders.
With more than 20,000 BTC, Metaplanet is now one of the largest corporate holdings of Bitcoin. However, it was recently converted by the U.S.-listed crypto exchange Bullish. Even so, Metaplanet is one of the most aggressive firms in the world for buying Bitcoin.
In addition, the company seems to be pursuing a strategy that is a lot like that of the US-based company MicroStrategy, which is known for its huge belief in Bitcoin. Metaplanet has gone as far as setting an ambitious long-term target. It reportedly has a goal of eventually acquiring as much as 210,000 BTC.
Despite its being an aggressive crypto strategy, Metaplanet has recently experienced financial difficulties in the last few months. Its stock price has plunged more than fifty percent since mid-June. This fall had investors worried.

But the company is taking action. It plans to raise some $884 million by selling shares to investors outside of Japan. On the other hand, Metaplanet is allowed to create up to 555 million new preferred shares.
According to Bloomberg, the current company expects to raise a total of $3.8 billion from this plan. A lot of these funds would probably be used to purchase even more Bitcoin.
With this latest $15.2 million purchase, Metaplanet is sending a loud message. It has faith in Bitcoin’s future and is willing to invest a lot in spite of market volatility. This move also highlights increasing interest in Bitcoin amongst the institutions in Asia.
However, its stock is under pressure; Metaplanet is charging ahead with its Bitcoin strategy. In keeping view all this, the company views Bitcoin as not only an investment but as a central piece of its financial identity.
As the crypto market continues to evolve, Metaplanet’s bold strategy could either turn it into a global leader in the space of digital assets or leave it vulnerable to risk. For now, the company is continuing to bet big on Bitcoin.
