A $3 Billion Bitcoin Treasury with Unrealized Gains
The company’s total Bitcoin stack, acquired at an average cost of $106,065 per BTC, amounts to about $2.71 billion. Following the latest purchase, Metaplanet holds an unrealized gain of nearly $290 million.
CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted the move on social media, noting that since the start of 2025, the company has achieved a 395.1% return on its accelerated Bitcoin strategy. In addition, Metaplanet has established new subsidiaries in the U.S. and Japan to expand its Bitcoin revenue-generating business. This followed the closure of a $1.4 billion funding round earlier this year.
Stock Price Drops as Bitcoin Pulls Back
Despite the milestone, Metaplanet’s stock slipped 0.50% to 605 JPY as Bitcoin extended its recent decline. The stock traded between 599 and 650 JPY in the past 24 hours, with trading volume falling below the 46 million average.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin was trading at $114,685 at press time, down more than 1% over the last 24 hours. Daily trading volume rose 36%, while derivatives data from CoinGlass indicated cautious buying activity across CME and Binance futures markets.
