The Tokyo-listed firm disclosed the purchase in a Monday announcement. Following its latest BTC acquisition, Metaplanet’s holdings reached a total of 18,888 BTC, with an average purchase on the newly added Bitcoin of $120,006.
Metaplanet has spent a record $1.94 billion on Bitcoin at an average cost of $102,653 per coin. As of the time of writing, CoinGecko data showed that Bitcoin traded below $115,000, which is below Metaplanet’s latest purchase price.
Nevertheless, Metaplanet has solidified its position as the leading Bitcoin treasury not based in the United States following its latest buy. The company is the only non-US Bitcoin treasury among the 10 biggest, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data.
Being the seventh-largest Bitcoin treasury in the world, Metaplanet stands just ahead of the Trump Media & Technology Group (the company behind Truth Social) with its 15,000 BTC, and behind Riot Platforms with its 19,239 BTC. Still, Metaplanet’s current 17,132 BTC is a far cry from the world’s first and top Bitcoin corporate treasury Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy) with 628,946 BTC worth over $72 billion.
 
In June, Metaplanet achieved its 10,000 BTC target earlier than expected, having set a 470% portfolio expansion goal earlier in January. The Japanese firm is still a long way from its broader 2027 goal of 210,000 BTC, but closer to its nearer-term target of 100,000 BTC by year-end.
Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin has slumped from its recent all-time peak of $124,128 to as low as $114,916 earlier today, as last week’s hotter-than-expected U.S. macro data continued to dampen investor confidence.
Further eroding confidence was the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott asserting that the government will not be buying more Bitcoin for its strategic reserve.
