Metaplanet Bitcoin Purchase Takes Holdings to 20K BTC, Overtaking Riot Platforms

Metaplanet Inc. (3350) bought another 1,009 bitcoin (BTC), bringing its total treasury to 20,000 BTC and overtaking Riot Platforms (RIOT) to become the corporation with the sixth-largest treasury holdings of the largest cryptocurrency.

The purchase, valued at roughly 16.5 billion yen ($112 million), demonstrates the Tokyo-based company’s commitment to positioning bitcoin as a core reserve asset. Its total bitcoin purchases now amount to 302.3 billion yen at an average cost of 15.1 million yen per BTC, according to a filing released Monday.

The pace of the firm’s bitcoin accumulation has made it Asia’s most prominent publicly traded adopter of the cryptocurrency. From July 1 to Sept. 1, the company achieved a BTC yield of 30.7%, while its multiple to net asset value (mNAV) sits just below 2.

Shares of Metaplanet fell 5.5% to 831 yen.
