The Tokyo-listed stock rose to 510 yen, a sharp gain from 398 yen recorded in mid-December 2025, according to Google Finance. Metaplanet’s rally followed a 19.17% increase in its U.S.-traded shares on January 5, where it closed at $3.12 on OTC Markets.

The recovery in Bitcoin, along with broader gains in Ethereum and XRP, encouraged traders to return to risk assets. Market participants are now watching crypto treasury stocks closely as digital asset prices stabilize.

Metaplanet Adds Over 4,200 BTC in Q4

Metaplanet disclosed that it acquired 4,279 BTC in the fourth quarter of 2025. At current prices, that purchase is valued at approximately $451 million. The firm’s total bitcoin holdings have now reached 35,102 BTC, worth about $3.29 billion.

This increase makes Metaplanet the largest corporate bitcoin holder in Asia. The new addition supports its ongoing strategy of using bitcoin as a core part of its treasury. Investors reacted positively to the announcement, as the company remains focused on long-term digital asset accumulation.

Metaplanet’s growing reserves have also attracted offshore interest. Its U.S.-listed stock reflected strong buying interest during the latest session, mirroring gains in related companies.

Broader Crypto Stocks Rally Amid Market Rebound

The rally in Metaplanet shares was part of a broader move in crypto-related equities. Strategy, a major bitcoin holding firm led by Michael Saylor, rose 4.81% to $164.72. Mara Holdings climbed 6.86%, while Coinbase shares increased by 7.77% after receiving a “Buy” rating from Goldman Sachs.

Bakkt gained 31.47% and KindlyMD advanced 24.38%, as investors rotated back into crypto and blockchain-themed equities. Bitcoin rose 1.37% to $93,835 after briefly topping $94,000, while Ethereum gained 1.85% and XRP rose 12.45%.

Other mining and treasury firms also posted strong results. American Bitcoin Corp rose 13.48% and Hut 8 added 13.6%. Analysts cited early-year repositioning and stronger macro sentiment as key drivers behind the shift back into digital asset-linked stocks.

Share Buyback and Treasury Strategy in Focus

Metaplanet’s previously announced share buyback plan also remained in focus. The firm said it could repurchase up to 150 million yen worth of its own shares. Although no buybacks have been executed yet, a recent filing revealed an increase in treasury shares held.

This disclosure added to positive investor sentiment, as the buyback plan aligns with its broader capital strategy. The company has not commented on the timeline for executing the buybacks.

Meanwhile, Metaplanet continues to pursue bitcoin as a primary asset. The firm has not announced plans to diversify its treasury further, keeping attention on bitcoin price movements as a key variable in its market valuation.
