Metaplanet Inc., often called “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” bought 319 BTC on Apr. 14, increasing its holdings to 4,525 BTC. The purchase aligns with the firm’s 2025 goal of holding 10,000 BTC amid rising macroeconomic uncertainty.
New Metaplanet Bitcoin Purchase Increases Holdings to 4,525 BTC
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet Inc. has purchased 319 BTC for 3.78 billion yen, which has increased its Bitcoin holdings. The average price per coin was 12,849,780 yen ($82,549). The company now holds 4,525 BTC after this acquisition.
The announcement came on April 14, just after global markets reacted to a flare-up in geopolitical tensions between the United States and China. In Asian trading hours, Bitcoin dropped more than 0.05% to $84,454 as investors continue to react to uncertainty in U.S. trade policy.
Despite the drop,Metaplanet chose to expose itself more. As part of its larger strategy to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, CEO Simon Gerovich said in a statement. “We want to use the most accretive capital market tools to grow our holdings.”
Metaplanet Stock Price Reaction
Metaplanet’s stock rose 13 JPY, or 3.71%, on the same day that the Bitcoin purchase was announced, finishing at 363 JPY. The stock opened at 360 JPY with a high of 384 JPY and a low of 353 JPY.
The trading sessions are split by a lunch break as shown in the chart data. The stock had peaked at 370 JPY around 11:00 AM before the break. The price briefly spiked again in the afternoon session, but it started to fall back towards the close.
Meanwhile, the market cap of Metaplanet is 173.97 billion JPY. Its P/E ratio is currently 19.35. Additionally, the stock has a high of 721 JPY and a low of 26 JPY in the past year. The figures represent a strong interest from investors since the company began acquiring Bitcoin in early 2024.
Bitcoin Price Trend and Technical Indicators
Furthermore, looking at the weekly chart of Bitcoin, we can see that it is possible a pattern is forming, according to the RSI (Relative Strength Index) analysis. The RSI is at 49.60, which means the asset is not overbought or oversold.
Over the past 18 months, a downward RSI trend has been marked three times. Every time, Bitcoin’s price rebounded. Again, it seems that the same pattern is forming in April 2025, with another possible RSI breakout. Strong upward movements in Bitcoin followed previous similar events.
Strategic Expansion and Policy Environment
This year, Metaplanet plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings by 470%. By December 2025, the goal is to reach 10,000 BTC and by 2026, 21,000 BTC. The company has compared its own approach to MicroStrategy in the U.S., which also holds Bitcoin as its main treasury asset.
Crypto market is regulated by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) and listed companies are allowed to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets. The regulatory support allows firms such as Metaplanet to invest in digital assets with clear rules.
Recently, Metaplanet formed a Strategic Advisory Board and has added Eric Trump as a member. This move will support the company’s broader Bitcoin strategy, it said. The Trump administration has also created two separate programs to manage digital assets seized from criminals, one of which is the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Metaplanet’s announcement comes as the traditional markets react to ongoing tariff discussions. Investors are still cautious but active, as Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures rose on April 14.
Market and policy changes continue to unfold, and the next few months may be important for Metaplanet’s stock and Bitcoin position.
