Japan-based Metaplanet has added more Bitcoin to its reserves this week, spending over $11 million to acquire 103 BTC. The company confirmed the move in a recent disclosure<\/a>, stating the purchase was executed at an average price of $113,491 per coin.<\/p>\n

Total Holdings Near 19,000 BTC<\/h2>\n

With this addition, Metaplanet\u2019s Bitcoin stash now stands at 18,991 BTC, valued at nearly $2 billion based on current prices.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s average acquisition cost across all holdings is about $102,712 per coin. According to Bitcoin Treasuries<\/a> data, this makes Metaplanet the seventh-largest publicly listed BTC\u00a0 holder, sitting just behind Riot Platforms Inc. and Bullish, the crypto firm backed by Peter Thiel.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s timing has often aligned with key price swings. Reports show that during the first quarter of 2025, Metaplanet recorded a over 95% return on its Bitcoin strategy.<\/p>\n

The second quarter proved even stronger at 129%, while July through late August delivered a 29% gain. Overall, the investment has grown by close to 480%, far outpacing most traditional equity plays.<\/p>\n

Institutional Buys Keep Rolling<\/h2>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s move comes as Michael Saylor hinted at another purchase for his firm Strategy<\/a>. Saylor posted on X that \u201cBitcoin is on Sale,\u201d fueling speculation of more buying activity.<\/p>\n

That message followed Strategy\u2019s recent acquisitions\u2014430 BTC worth $51 million last week and 775 BTC just days earlier. The firm now controls 629,376 BTC, accounting for nearly 3% of BTC\u2019s circulating supply.<\/p>\n

Such large-scale buying underscores how corporations are doubling down on Bitcoin<\/a>, even at prices above $110,000. For Metaplanet, the decision also serves as a hedge.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s weakening yen has raised concerns among investors, and crypto appears to offer a measure of protection against currency risk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Holds Steady<\/p>\n

Bitcoin remained mostly flat, trading around $112,000 after briefly dipping to $110,000 over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Analysts point out that this muted price response is common, as large purchases often occur over-the-counter, reducing short-term market impact.<\/p>\n

ERIC TRUMP: BITCOIN TO SURPASS $175K IN 2025<\/p>\n

At Jackson Hole, Eric Trump predicted BTC will cross $175,000 this year, declaring himself a \u201cBitcoin Maxi.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime, sentiment in the wider crypto market remains bullish. US President Donald Trump\u2019s son, Eric Trump, recently called himself a \u201cBitcoin Maxi\u201d and forecasted that the asset could reach $175,000 within 2025.<\/p>\n

Along with ongoing institutional buying, these types of predictions drive anticipation of higher prices in the coming months.<\/p>\n

There have also been indications that Metaplanet could be on a weekly build-up approach, considering its latest buying activity. If the pattern continues, further crypto purchases could be in the offing.<\/p>\n
