Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings reach 30,823 BTC after strategic Q3 acquisition

  • Metaplanet acquired 5,288 BTC in Q3 2025; total holdings reach 30,823 BTC.
  • Bitcoin Income Generation revenue jumps 115.7% to $16.16M.
  • Long-term target: 210,000 BTC by 2027, backed by major institutional investors.

Metaplanet has taken a bold step in expanding its Bitcoin treasury, acquiring an additional 5,288 BTC during the third quarter of 2025.

This purchase boosts the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 30,823 BTC, which are currently valued at around $3.33 billion.

The acquisition was made at an average price of $116,870 per bitcoin, reflecting Metaplanet’s continued confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential.

CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted that this purchase signals their commitment to maximizing Bitcoin yield, which is expected to reach nearly 500% in 2025.

This fresh influx of Bitcoin has helped power a surge in Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Income Generation segment, which recorded quarterly revenue of $16.16 million, a striking increase of 115.7% compared to the previous quarter.

The company’s strategy to scale operations and deepen its Bitcoin treasury is already paying off, underpinning a much stronger financial outlook for the year.

Metaplanet revises 2025 forecasts

Thanks to the robust Q3 performance, Metaplanet has revised its full-year 2025 guidance with optimism.

Revenue projections now stand at $46.26 million, doubling prior estimates, while operating profit expectations have jumped 88% to $31.97 million.

Gerovich noted that these results prove Metaplanet’s operational scalability and bolster the company’s foundation for a planned issuance of preferred shares, which will support its broader Bitcoin Treasury strategy.

Despite this upbeat financial revision, Metaplanet’s stock fell 10% during Wednesday’s trading, closing at 516 yen.

Market reactions may reflect an adjustment to the company’s share valuation or investor caution amid macroeconomic factors impacting crypto-related assets.

Scaling beyond Bitcoin

Metaplanet’s growth strategy is not limited to Bitcoin accumulation.

The company recently launched Phase II of its expansion, which includes new income sources such as its Bitcoin.jp media platform and an upcoming Project Nova, aiming to create sustainable revenue streams beyond direct Bitcoin holdings.

Additionally, Metaplanet has attracted strong institutional backing, with Capital Group acquiring an 11.45% stake, alongside investors like Vanguard, JPMorgan, and State Street, reinforcing confidence in the company’s vision.

The firm also plans to fund its ambitious Bitcoin accumulation goals through perpetual preferred share issuances, designed to raise capital without diluting common equity.

CEO Gerovich has set a long-term target of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027, aiming to capture roughly 1% of the total global Bitcoin supply.

Bitcoin targets $120k amid US government shutdown

  • Bitcoin price is targeting a fresh rally to the $120,000 mark.
  • The US government’s partial shutdown has seen BTC price break the key level of $117,000.
  • Flight to safe-haven assets, and market bets on Federal Reserve interest cuts could fuel bulls’ ambitions.

Bitcoin price surged more than 3% as the United States federal government entered a partial shutdown on Wednesday, with BTC breaking above $117,000 for the first time in weeks.

Amid a spike in safe-haven assets like gold, investors looking for a different hedge against political and economic uncertainty flocked to Bitcoin.

The gains leave the benchmark asset on the verge of another uptick to the $120,000 level.

Bitcoin jumps above $117k amid 3% spike

Bitcoin’s price climbed sharply in early trading on Wednesday, breaking through the $117,000 mark for the first time since mid-September.

Fueled by a 3% intraday gain, BTC bulls shot to highs of $117,400 amid a rapid ascent that also boosted top altcoins like Ethereum and Solana.

While institutional inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and treasury company moves have provided steady support amid broader market jitters, the latest gains align with fresh moves for safe-haven assets.

US government shutdown catalyst

Technical resilience and the prevailing market conditions have analysts predicting further traction for BTC price.

Notably, the gains in the past 24 hours have brought Bitcoin’s value just 6% below its all-time high of $124,457 reached on August 14, 2025.

A huge catalyst for the uptick looks to be the market’s reaction to the US government shutdown.

On September 30, Congressional leaders and US President Donald Trump failed to strike a deal on continued government funding.

With the deadline passed, a partial shutdown kicked in, with stocks reacting lower and gold rallying to a new all-time high.

The flight-to-safety dynamics, which also align with a significant dip for the US dollar index, propelled gold’s rally.

Bitcoin, attracting investors as a safe haven asset, is also up and could target the psychological $120k level.

As investors react to the shutdown, and impact of potential delays to the release of key economic data, including the September jobs report, BTC stands poised to benefit.

Ostensibly, gold’s rally has pushed its spot prices to a new peak above $3,890 per ounce.

BTC’s own upside could accelerate as the market assesses the shutdown.

What else could help Bitcoin price?

ADP private payrolls data, which showed a 32,000 job loss in September, has fueled expectations of a Federal Reserve cut.

The US central bank cut its interest rate in September, and bets for another cut on October 29 have gotten investors excited.

Lower rates have often been a bullish marker for risk assets, and signs for “Uptober” persist after Bitcoin showed gains in 10 of the past 12 October months.
