Metaplanet was once again added to the Bitcoin Treasury, buying 1,009 BTC in fresh deals worth around $112 million. By doing so, Japanese investors currently have 20,000 BTC, more than $2 billion at current prices.
Active purchases over the last few months
Reports show that Metaplanet is accumulating Bitcoin quickly. In August alone, the company acquired several well-known deals: 463 BTC at $53.7 million, followed by 518 BTC at $61.4 million, followed by 775 BTC as part of one major deal worth $93 million.
The latest 1,009 BTC purchase has increased its total holdings beyond the previously disclosed 18,888 BTC.
The company set its year-end target at 30,000 BTC, and raised its target after surpassing 10,000 Bitcoins at the beginning of the year.
To support this, Metaplanet has turned its eye to the international market, securing a $837 million share offer. Most of its capital is allocated to new Bitcoin purchases scheduled for September and October.
Eric Trump’s role in strategy
Metaplanet’s efforts are strategic not only at the financial stage but also at the global stage. President Donald Trump’s second son, Eric Trump, was appointed strategic adviser to the board in March 2025.
According to the report, he will be attending a shareholders meeting in Tokyo, where the company will vote for a new way of raising funds.
The conference agenda includes potential approvals to issue up to 555 million preferred shares. If approved, the sale could bring up to ¥555 billion, or about $3.7 billion, to encourage more Bitcoin acquisitions.
Last week, the company had already announced plans to raise 13000.3 billion yen ($880 million) through its overseas stock offering.
Inventory performance and market position
Metaplanet stocks fell 4.5% on the same day as the announcement, according to Google Finance data.
Still, the stock remains up 135% since the start of the year, suggesting that many investors still support the company’s direction.
With its current holding, Metaplanet is now the sixth largest public Bitcoin Treasury Ministry in the world, passing through the riot platform. Only more companies have more, such as strategy and marathon digital.
The company also reported a 31% Bitcoin yield from July to September 1st. This measure reflects the percentage change in Bitcoin Holdings’ fully diluted common stock ratio and is highlighted as a key performance indicator for the company.
