Japanese investment firm Metaplanet, one of the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holders, has resumed expanding its cryptocurrency reserves after a several-month pause. The company announced that it acquired 2,823 BTC during the second quarter of 2026, marking its first major Bitcoin purchase since April.
The latest acquisition increases Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings to 43,000 BTC.
The Company Invested More Than $222 Million
According to the company's filing, Metaplanet spent approximately 35.89 billion Japanese yen, or about $222.6 million, on its latest Bitcoin purchase.
The average acquisition price was approximately $78,835 per Bitcoin.
Following the transaction, the company's Bitcoin treasury increased from 40,177 BTC at the end of the first quarter to 43,000 BTC.
Overall, Metaplanet has now invested more than $4 billion into building its Bitcoin treasury, with an average acquisition cost of approximately $94,900 per BTC across its entire position.
Options Strategy Helps Fund Accumulation
Metaplanet also revealed that part of its Bitcoin purchases was executed through a strategy involving the sale of Bitcoin options.
According to the company, this approach is part of its broader capital management strategy, designed not only to accumulate additional Bitcoin but also to generate recurring income.
The strategy allows Metaplanet to finance further BTC purchases more efficiently while reducing its effective acquisition costs.
Bitcoin Income Division Delivers Strong Results
The company also reported solid performance from its Bitcoin Income division, which generated approximately 1.75 billion yen in revenue during the second quarter.
After accounting for this income, the effective acquisition cost of the newly purchased Bitcoin fell to approximately 12.09 million yen per BTC, significantly improving the company's overall purchase price.
Shareholder Bitcoin Yield Continues to Improve
Metaplanet also disclosed that its internal BTC Yield metric—which measures the increase in Bitcoin exposure per fully diluted share—reached 6.6% during the second quarter.
Investors closely monitor this metric because it indicates whether the company's capital allocation strategy is increasing Bitcoin ownership on a per-share basis for shareholders.
Bitcoin Treasury Now Worth More Than $2.5 Billion
As of the end of June, Metaplanet held 43,000 BTC, valued at approximately $2.53 billion.
The company stated that most of its Bitcoin acquisitions during the quarter were financed through credit facilities and bond issuances. It also emphasized that it largely avoided issuing new common shares while expanding its Bitcoin treasury, helping minimize shareholder dilution.
The latest purchase further reinforces Metaplanet's commitment to building one of the world's largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries.
