Metaplanet buys 2,823 BTC, surpasses 43,000 in Bitcoin holdings
Latest NewsPublishedJul 2, 2026
Metaplanet bought 2,823 Bitcoin during the second quarter, reducing its average acquisition cost to $106,500 per BTC, and reported $10.9 million in revenue from its income generation strategy.
Japanese investment company Metaplanet acquired 2,823 Bitcoin during the second quarter at a price below its average purchase price, as its holdings surpassed 43,000 BTC.
The company acquired its latest trove at an average price of about 12.71 million yen ($78,850 at current exchange rates), reducing its average acquisition cost to about $95,117 per BTC from $96,258, as reported by a Thursday announcement.
Metaplanet now holds 43,000 Bitcoin acquired for about $4.1 billion. It also reported about $10.95 million in revenue from its Bitcoin income generation strategy in the quarter, which earns premiums by selling cash-secured options and employing other Bitcoin-related yield strategies.
The purchase extends Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation strategy, which has made the company one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders. The acquisition comes days after Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, skipped its usual weekly Bitcoin purchase while unveiling a new capital framework designed to support dividends and expand its cash reserves.

Metaplanet shares closed 3.5% higher on Thursday but remain down 48% year-to-date, underperforming Bitcoin, which has fallen 31% over the same period.
K Wave latest company to exit Bitcoin treasury strategy
While companies such as Metaplanet continue buying more Bitcoin, a handful of treasury companies are scaling back their exposure.
Nasdaq-listed South Korean company K Wave Media sold its remaining 88 BTC to repay $6 million in debt, exiting the Bitcoin treasury strategy, as reported by a Tuesday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The move marked a sharp reversal as the company previously revealed plans to expand its holdings to 10,000 BTC after securing $1 billion in capital capacity to drive its Bitcoin treasury strategy in July 2025.
