Metaplanet has reaffirmed its commitment to a bitcoin accumulation strategy despite a recent decline in its share price, signaling confidence in the long-term value of the cryptocurrency.
The Tokyo-listed firm said it will continue to allocate capital toward bitcoin purchases as part of its balance-sheet strategy, even as market volatility weighs on both digital assets and equity valuations. The company has positioned bitcoin as a core treasury asset, citing its fixed supply and role as a hedge against currency debasement.
Metaplanet’s shares have come under pressure in recent sessions, reflecting broader risk-off sentiment in global markets and renewed volatility in crypto prices. Bitcoin has traded unevenly in recent weeks, prompting investors to reassess exposure to companies with direct digital asset strategies.
Despite the market reaction, Metaplanet said it remains focused on disciplined accumulation rather than short-term price movements. Management noted that the strategy is designed for long-term value creation and is not dependent on near-term share performance.
The company joins a small but growing group of publicly listed firms globally that are using bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, a move that has drawn both strong supporters and vocal critics. Analysts say such strategies can amplify stock volatility, as company valuations become more closely tied to crypto market cycles.
Metaplanet said it will continue to disclose its bitcoin holdings and acquisition plans in line with regulatory requirements, while monitoring market conditions and liquidity.
