Metaplanet Inc., the Tokyo-listed investment firm, resumed large-scale Bitcoin acquisitions with a $450 million purchase during the fourth quarter. The company added 4,279 BTC at an average price of $105,412 per coin, ending a three-month buying pause that began in late September.

What Happened: Fourth-Quarter Acquisition

Metaplanet announced the purchase on Dec. 30, 2025, bringing total holdings to 35,102 Bitcoin with a portfolio cost of approximately $3.78 billion, according to company director Simon Gerovich.

The firm's average cost per coin now stands at $107,606.

The company reported a BTC Yield of 11.9% for the quarter and 568.2% year-to-date for 2025. This metric measures the change in Bitcoin held per share.

Why It Matters: Treasury Strategy

The purchase marks Metaplanet's return to active Bitcoin Treasury Operations following coordinated buying with Strategy on Sept. 22, 2025. During that period, Strategy acquired 850 BTC while Metaplanet purchased 5,419 BTC for $630 million, followed by another 5,268 BTC for $615 million in early October.

The firm's BTC Yield metric demonstrates increasing Bitcoin exposure per share despite issuing additional stock.

The three-month hiatus represented the longest pause in Metaplanet's acquisition strategy since implementing its treasury operations.
