Metaplanet Adds 1,111 Bitcoins But Stock Tanks 4% On Iran-Israel Conflict

Metaplanet has added 1.111 Bitcoins to its holdings on Monday, June 23, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 11,111 BTC and thereby becoming the eighth-largest company, overtaking Hut8. The company has achieved an impressive year-to-date (YTD) BTC yield of 306.7% in 2025.

This comes as the BTC offers a buy-the-dip opportunity, after slipping under $100K on Sunday following the escalating Iran-Israel conflict. Despite today’s Bitcoin purchases, the Japanese firm’s stock is down 4% today amid rising geopolitical tensions.

Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings Reach 11,111 With 390% BTC Yield

Metaplanet has announced the acquisition of 1,111 Bitcoin (BTC), for an investment value of approximately $118.2 million. This strategic purchase brings the company’s total BTC holdings to 11,111 as of June 23, 2025.

The aggregate cost of its total Bitcoin acquisition over the past year has now surged to roughly $1.07 billion, with an average purchase price of $95,869 per BTC.

With just over 1,000 Bitcoins at the start of 2025, Japanese firm Metaplanet has been on a massive buying spree, hitting the 10,000 BTC milestone last week. The company has already announced its ambitious $5.4 billion fundraise with the goal to purchase 1% of the total BTC supply i.e. 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.

Today’s BTC purchase comes as the Japanese firm completed the 20th to 22nd Series of Stock Acquisition Rights with EVO FUND. After receiving the payment of JPY 558,700,000 from the fund, the firm soon announced its Bitcoin purchases from the open market.

Stock Tanks 4% As Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates

Meanwhile, the crypto market crashed over the weekend, with the US entering the Iran-Israel conflict and striking nuclear capabilities in Iran. With the global market uncertainty on the rise, the Metaplanet stock faced selling pressure, correcting 4% and slipping to 1712 JPY in the Asian trading hours on Monday.

The Japanese firm has already seen a massive rally with nearly 400% gains since the beginning of 2025. However, its aggressive BTC buying plan has attracted big market players like Capital Group and Citigroup, buying MTPLF shares last week.

Crypto market continues to remain under selling pressure as Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a risk-OFF sentiment, with oil prices seeing major volatility. Amid these developments, Bitcoin price crashed under $100K levels on Sunday; however, it has recovered once again above $101K as of press time.
