The Japanese company’s stock value recently took a hit because of the broad market downtrend. However, after the announcement of this recent new purchase, Metaplanet’s stock growth continued, reaching 19% in the Tokyo Exchange Stock. As of March 5, Metaplanet’s shares are trading for 3,985 Japanese yen, which is equal to $26.60. With this development, Metaplanet remains one of the best-performing stocks in the last year, growing 1,700% in value. This latest BTC investment marks the second purchase this week, as this company bought 156 BTC on Monday.

$66 Million and Counting: BTC Strategy Pays Off

As of March 5, Metaplanet has bought 794.5 in 2025 alone, which has led to massive profit for the company. Based on its reports, this Japanese firm has recorded $66 million of gains only in the first quarter of 2025. These consecutive purchases and accumulation are part of this company’s plan to reach 21,000 BTC holdings by 2026. As Metaplanet strives to reach its bold goal, it has also become the corporation with the 12th biggest BTC reserve. As such, Metaplanethas has now passed Boyaa Interactive International as one of the biggest BTC investment corporations in Asia.

The Japan-based Metaplanet continues its BTC purchases despite the recent crypto market’s downtrends. The market has been in the red for days now, as billions of dollars in market cap have been wiped out. In the most recent crash, American tariffs sent the market into chaos, with BTC going as low as $82,105. Furthermore, the BTC ETFs have also experienced more than three days of consecutive outflows. But despite all these challenges, BTC investment firms like Metaplanet seem to continue to hold their BTC investments. 

Going Global: Metaplanet CEO Meets Nasdaq Officials

Gerovich also announced that Metaplane is looking for new markets in the West for global expansion. To do so, he had met with Nasdaq officials in the New York Exchange. He stated, “We are considering the best way to make Metaplanet shares more accessible to investors around the world.” However, not all has been good, as the crypto market is experiencing a very volatile cycle. 

Metaplanet’s Crypto Confidence: Smart Move or Risk?

The investment firm keeps buying Bitcoin, showing a strong belief in its long-term value despite market fluctuations. Metaplanet’s Bitcoin investment approach has already paid off, and further Bitcoin growth could bring even bigger profits. However, the firm must stay flexible to avoid potential losses and maximize gains. Yet, crypto’s instability makes continuous growth uncertain. A balanced strategy of combining Bitcoin accumulation with diversification may reduce risks while leveraging Bitcoin’s potential.
