The Japanese technology firm Metaplenet has acquired additional 319 bitcoin for an approximate value of ¥ 3.78 billion ($ 26.3 million), continuing its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy in the midst of growing commercial tensions between the United States and China.
The company that is quoted in Tokyo purchased The Bitcoin at an average price of ¥ 11.85 million ($ 83,147) per currency, according to an announcement of the company on Monday. The last acquisition carries the total Bitcoin of Metaplanet holdings to 4,525 BTC, with an aggregate cost of $ 408.1 million at an average purchase price of $ 90,194 per Bitcoin.
The purchase occurs when Bitcoin experienced a slight decrease during the weekend, falling more than 2% to $ 83,482 during Asian negotiation hours. The Bitcoin and Cryptography market has shown sensitivity to emerging geopolitical tensions, particularly the possible possible commercial tariffs of the United States aimed at Chinese electronics.
Metaplanet often known as “Microstrategy de Asia”, has outlined ambitious plans to expand its Bitcoin holdings by 470% to reach 10,000 BTC at the end of 2025 and 21,000 bitcoin at the end of 2026. The company evaluates its performance through “BTC performance”, to an isolated that measures bitcoin that maintains a growth of bitcoin that has a growth in bitcoin that has a growth in bitcoin Relationship with excess load. For the first quarter of 2025, Metaplenet reported a BTC yield of 95.6%, with a year of 6.5% as of April 14.
The company’s last movement has raised its position to become the ninth largest public of Bitcoin worldwide. Bitcoin’s strategy of Metaplenet has won additional attention after Eric Trump’s recent appointment to his strategic advisory board, citing his commercial experience and his passion for Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin Bitcoin acquisition strategy is supported by several capital market activities, including bond emissions and shares acquisition rights, designed to raise funds while minimizing the dilution of shareholders. Currently, the company has executed approximately 41.7% of its “210 million plan.”
The strategic pivot of Metaplenet to the accumulation of Bitcoin closely reflects the pioneering play book by Michael Saylor’s strategy, although on a smaller scale. Since he launched its Bitcoin Treasury operations, the Japanese company has demonstrated remarkable success in implementing a similar approach to take advantage of financial instruments and market opportunities to acquire Bitcoin.
Like the strategy, Metaplenet has used a combination of convertible debts and instruments linked to actions to finance their acquisitions while maintaining a healthy balance. The strategy has yielded impressive results, with the company’s Bitcoin holdings that grow to more than 4,500 BTC in just over a year.
