Clear Plans: Buying Bitcoin & Funding Income Business

According to a company filing, Metaplanet expects to apply about ¥183.7 billion of net proceeds to purchase coins between September and October 2025, and ¥20.4 billion will support its digital assets income-generating business through BTC options trading. As of September 1, 2025, the firm already held around 20,000 tokens, valued at roughly ¥322B.

How the Market Reacted

Shares and crypto markets moved fast after the announcement. Several crypto media reports noted the offering was upsized and framed it as an aggressive push to expand Metaplanet’s BTC holdings. Some investors cheered the plan because more buying by a public company can lift demand for digital gold. Others worry about dilution of the stock and the risk of using equity to buy a volatile asset. 

Recent Bitcoin Buys: Steady Weekly Accumulation  

In the past week, the firm made a modest purchase of 136 coins (about $15.2 million), boosting total holdings to 20,136 coins. This brings them closer to their ambitious targets of 100,000 tokens by the end of 2026 and possibly 210,000 coins by 2027.  

Additionally, over the past ten weeks, the company executed ten separate Bitcoin acquisitions, totaling 7,791 BTC. This shows steady, disciplined accumulation week after week.

Bitcoin Price Prediction

The token is trading at $111,271 with slight highs and lows between $111k-$113k. The 24hr capital volume gained by 10% and now at $45B. Investors can closely watch the simple range of $110k–$125k in the coming weeks if buying continues and macro conditions stay stable; volatility could push price outside this range.

Metaplanet can create positive sentiment and short-term demand. Expect price pressure upward if the company begins buying quickly and markets view the purchases as real demand.

This move follows a wave of public companies and funds adding cryptocurrency to their balance sheets. When a listed firm announces a large purchase plan, it can push attention and momentum toward digital gold. Still, real market impact depends on how frequently it buys and how big other flows are turning in.
