Metaplanet resumes purchasing Bitcoin with a major purchase in the fourth quarter after the summer break

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin treasury strategy appears to be on the move again after a notable lull in the fourth quarter.

Metaplanet Inc., the Tokyo-listed investment firm, announced on December 30, 2025 that it has resumed its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, adding 4,279 BTC in the fourth quarter.

This purchase ends a notable lull in buying activity that began after the company’s last major public purchase alongside Strategy in late September.

The new acquisition, valued at over $450 million and executed at an average price of nearly $105,412 per Bitcoin, brings Metaplanet’s total holdings to 35,102 BTC. The company’s director, Simon Gerovich, confirmed the purchase on social media, indicating that the total portfolio costs approximately $3.78 billion, an average of $107,606 per BTC.+

A key metric for the company is ‘BTC Yield’, which measures the change in Bitcoin held per share. Metaplanet reported a return of 11.9% for the quarter and an impressive 568.2% for the year to date in 2025, indicating that its strategy has significantly increased Bitcoin exposure per share even as it issued more shares.

The move marks a restart of the company’s dedicated ‘Bitcoin Treasury Operations’, which had been publicly quiet since a coordinated purchasing period with market leader Strategy.

That previous activity took place on September 22, 2025, when both companies announced major purchases. At the time, Strategy added 850 BTC while Metaplanet made a massive purchase of 5,419 BTC worth $630 million, a move that briefly saw it outperform its larger US counterpart in size relative to its size. It followed up this transaction a few weeks later with a sum of $615 million buy of another 5,268 BTC to bring his supply to 30,823 BTC. Since that surge, Metaplanet has reported no new purchases in the market until this week’s announcement.
