Metaplanet (3350) disclosed the acquisition of 2,823 BTC valued at $170.7 million, elevating its total treasury to 43,000 BTC (approximately $2.6 billion).
This purchase positions the Tokyo-based firm as the third largest publicly traded entity holding bitcoin, following MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Twenty One Capital (XXI), as per Bitcoin Treasuries data.
Following this announcement, Metaplanet's stock climbed 3.5% to 207 yen ($1.28) on Thursday.
