The Japanese firm, now the world’s third-largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, also reported improved performance from its Bitcoin Income Generation segment.
Metaplanet (3350) announced it has purchased an additional 2,823 BTC valued at around $170.7 million, bringing its total holdings to 43,000 BTC worth approximately $2.6 billion.
The move further reinforces its ranking as the third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder among listed companies, behind only Strategy (MSTR) and Twenty One Capital (XXI), according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.
Following the announcement, Metaplanet shares gained 3.5%, closing at 207 yen ($1.28) on Thursday.
In parallel with its Bitcoin accumulation, the company released second-quarter FY2026 results for its Bitcoin Income Generation unit, reporting operating revenue of about 1.75 billion yen ($10.85 million). This took first-half revenue to roughly 4.72 billion yen.
Metaplanet generates yield by employing Bitcoin options strategies while steadily expanding its BTC reserves. On a trailing 12-month basis, the division recorded around 11.4 billion yen in revenue.
Taken together, the results highlight Metaplanet’s dual strategy of aggressively accumulating Bitcoin while also generating recurring income through its crypto-linked business operations.
