Since announcing its bitcoin acquisition strategy in April 2024, the company has continued to accumulate bitcoin, solidifying its commitment by designating bitcoin treasury operations as a core business line in December.
Its last purchase was made one week ago, when it purchased 497 BTC with $43.9 million. The company has acquired nearly 1,300 BTC this year so far.
Metaplanet appears to be pressing on toward its goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC by the end of this year. It also said it targets to hold 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
The company's stock price has risen 8.1% to 3,610 yen so far today in Japan at the time of writing, while it's still trading in the afternoon session, according to Yahoo Finance data.
