Metaplanet Reaches 43,000 BTC After Adding 2,823 Coins for $170.7M
Metaplanet has purchased an additional 2,823 BTC for $170.7 million, raising its total treasury to 43,000 BTC and cementing its rank as the world's third largest publicly traded bitcoin holder. The company also reported $10.85 million in Q2 Bitcoin Income Generation revenue.
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet (3350) has acquired an additional 2,823 BTC for approximately $170.7 million, lifting its total bitcoin treasury to 43,000 BTC, valued at roughly $2.6 billion. The purchase was announced on Thursday, July 2, 2026.
The latest acquisition positions Metaplanet as the third largest publicly traded company by bitcoin holdings, according to data tracked by Bitcoin Treasuries. The Japanese firm now trails only Strategy (MSTR) and Twenty One Capital (XXI) in that ranking.
Shares of Metaplanet closed 3.5% higher at 207 yen ($1.28) on Thursday following the announcement, reflecting positive market reaction to the expanded treasury position.
Alongside the purchase disclosure, Metaplanet released second-quarter FY2026 results for its Bitcoin Income Generation business. The division recorded approximately 1.747 billion yen (US$10.85 million) in operating revenue during Q2, bringing total first-half FY2026 revenue to approximately 4.717 billion yen (US$29.30 million). On a trailing 12-month basis, the segment generated roughly 11.4 billion yen in revenue.
The Bitcoin Income Generation unit employs bitcoin options strategies to produce recurring income while simultaneously growing the company's BTC holdings. The business model represents a dual-track approach: aggressive balance-sheet accumulation of bitcoin paired with cash-flow generation through derivatives activity.
The Q2 revenue figures mark a continuation of the segment's growth trajectory since its launch, with the trailing 12-month total of 11.4 billion yen underscoring the scale the division has reached in a relatively short operating period.
Metaplanet has accelerated its bitcoin acquisition strategy throughout FY2026, making multiple large purchases across the fiscal year. Each purchase has incrementally reinforced the company's stated goal of becoming one of the premier bitcoin treasury companies globally, modelling its approach in part on the framework pioneered by Strategy in the United States.
With 43,000 BTC now on its balance sheet and a fully operational income-generating arm tied directly to its bitcoin holdings, Metaplanet enters the second half of FY2026 as one of the most closely watched corporate bitcoin holders in the Asia-Pacific region.
