The Japanese firm, now the third-largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder globally, also posted stronger revenue from its Bitcoin Income Generation business.
Metaplanet (3350) disclosed the purchase of an additional 2,823 BTC worth approximately $170.7 million, increasing its total holdings to 43,000 BTC, or about $2.6 billion in value.
The latest acquisition strengthens its position as the third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies, trailing only Strategy (MSTR) and Twenty One Capital (XXI), according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.
Shares of Metaplanet rose 3.5% to 207 yen ($1.28) on Thursday following the announcement.
Alongside the Bitcoin purchase, the company reported second-quarter FY2026 results for its Bitcoin Income Generation division, which generated roughly 1.75 billion yen ($10.85 million) in operating revenue. This brought first-half revenue to about 4.72 billion yen.
Metaplanet earns income by using Bitcoin options strategies while continuing to expand its BTC holdings. Over the past 12 months, the division has produced around 11.4 billion yen in revenue.
Overall, the results highlight Metaplanet’s dual strategy of aggressive Bitcoin accumulation combined with recurring income generation from its crypto-focused operations.
