New Purchase: 463 BTC for $53.7M
Average Cost per BTC: $115,895
Total Holdings: 17,595 BTC (~$1.78B)
YTD Performance: +459.2% BTC yield

Metaplanet is now one of the largest publicly traded corporate holders of Bitcoin in Asia. Though still behind Strategy—Michael Saylor’s firm that holds 628,791 BTC—Metaplanet’s steady buying shows long term conviction. Strategy’s latest purchase of 21,021 BTC for $2.46B is the latest example of the institutional race for Bitcoin dominance.

$3.7B Funding Plan Fuels Speculation

Beyond buying, Metaplanet is proposing to raise $3.7B in perpetual preferred shares. The funds will likely be used for more Bitcoin buying and to cement Metaplanet’s status as a global crypto giant. The proposal will be voted on at an upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and the market is watching.

This is a sign of growing investor appetite for companies with strong Bitcoin exposure even as traditional equities fluctuate. But Metaplanet’s stock price fell 6% to ¥998 in early Monday trading, despite long term optimism.

Bitcoin Bounces Back

Bitcoin is recovering after a dip, up 1% to $114,594 after a weekend low of $111,800. The bounce was triggered by weak US nonfarm payrolls—73,000 jobs added vs 190,000 forecast—and a risk-off sentiment that reversed quickly as long term buyers stepped in.

Market sentiment is also improving due to monetary policy expectations:* 89.1% chance of 0.25% Fed rate cut by September. Growing perception of Bitcoin as a hedge against USD depreciation

These factors, combined with Metaplanet’s assertive buying, suggest that institutional interest in Bitcoin is far from cooling off.
