Metaplanet Stock Shoots 5% After Latest 780 Bitcoin Purchase

Metaplanet, popular as Asia’s MicroStrategy, has resumed its Bitcoin purchase after last week’s break. The Japanese firm announced buying 780 Bitcoins earlier today at an average price of $118,622 per BTC. The company’s stock price on the Tokyo stock exchange shot by by 5% surging past 1,250 JPY levels. The BTC price is up 1% today, moving closer to $120,000 amid the latest development with the US-EU trade deal.

Metaplanet Stock Rallies With 17,000 Bitcoin Holdings

In the Asian trading hours on Monday, the Metaplanet stock rallied more than 5% to 1,250 JPY levels following its latest 780 BTC purchase. This marks a healthy reversal after the stock saw strong selling pressure over the past month. However, it is still up by a massive 250% since the beginning of 2025, amid the company’s aggressive Bitcoin purchases.

Following today’s purchase, company CEO Simon Gerovich stated that its Bitcoin investment has delivered a year-to-date (YTD) yield of 449.7% in 2025. Following the latest acquisition, the Japanese firm holds a total of 17,132 BTC, purchased at a cumulative cost of approximately $1.73 billion. As a result, the company’s average BTC purchase price stands at $101,030 per Bitcoin.

Last week, Simon Gerovich stated that the company remains committed to its BTC acquisition plan, with a strong internal setup. Following MicroStrategy’s footprint, the company has raised billions of dollars through debt issuance and equity dilution.

Metaplanet Reports 15.4% Exercise Rate on Stock Acquisition Rights

According to the update, the cumulative exercise rate stands at 15.4%, with the total amount exercised reaching ¥122.2 billion.

Metaplanet’s market-adjusted net asset value (mNAV) for its $MTPLF shares has organically compressed to 2.87 following its recent Bitcoin purchase. Similarly, the Bitcoin NAV for its Tokyo-listed share is 437 JPY. The company’s ongoing accumulation strategy continues to align its equity valuation more closely with underlying BTC holdings.

MicroStrategy To Continue With Bitcoin Buying

On Sunday, July 27, MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor signaled additional Bitcoin purchases. Saylor posted MicroStrategy’s latest Bitcoin portfolio tracker, revealing that the company currently holds 607,770 BTC, valued at approximately $71.8 billion at current market prices. The update was shared via Saylor’s official X account.

Historically, these portfolio tracker posts have often preceded official purchase announcements. Just last week, MicroStrategy added 4,225 BTC to its holdings shortly after Saylor published a similar update.

The company currently remains focused on its STRC IPO and has successfully raised more than $2.5 billion. This is nearly 5 times its initial fundraising plan of $500 million.
