Metaplanet has not filed a “Notice of Additional Purchase” since Oct. 1, despite spending much of 2025 aggressively buying bitcoin.
The Tokyo-listed firm’s pause coincided with its Market Net Asset Value (MNAV) briefly dipping below 1.0, meaning its shares traded at a discount to the bitcoin held on its balance sheet.
That discount made open-market bitcoin buys less efficient than repurchasing discounted shares, according to the report.
Why the buying stopped
Metaplanet shifted from direct accumulation to balance-sheet engineering after the MNAV dislocation.
The firm focused on actions that could raise bitcoin-per-share more efficiently than spot purchases, including buybacks when its equity trades below parity.

Leverage and buybacks
Metaplanet secured a $100 million loan collateralized by part of its existing 30,893 bitcoin holdings, with proceeds earmarked to add bitcoin during pullbacks.
It also introduced a $500 million credit line dedicated to a share-buyback program.
Shareholder approvals at the EGM
CEO Simon Gerovich said shareholders approved all five management proposals at an extraordinary general meeting on Dec. 22.
Gerovich wrote after the vote:
“All five proposals were approved.”
The changes included shifting capital stock and reserves into “other capital surplus,” expanding authorized preferred shares, and reworking Class A (“MARS”) and Class B terms.
Targeting 100,000 BTC
The company reiterated a “North Star” goal of reaching 100,000 BTC, combining buybacks, asset-backed lending, and structured preferred equity to scale its bitcoin treasury.
