Metaplanet acquired 2,205 BTC for $238.7 million, increasing its total BTC holdings to 15,555 and ranking it fifth among public firms.
Metaplanet aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC by 2027, rivaling MicroStrategy's significant Bitcoin position, as part of its strategy to build a scalable, Bitcoin-based business amid 42.4% YoY revenue growth.
The CEO, Simon Gerovich, confirmed the company's focus on building a sustainable business infrastructure on a BTC standard, emphasizing the firm's growing revenue from its Bitcoin Income Generation business.
Despite Metaplanet's bold moves in acquiring Bitcoin, its stock experienced a 1.8% drop initially. However, the broader market response has been positive, with the stock gaining 13.9% in the past month and 339% this year, reflecting investor confidence in its crypto-focused strategy.
