Metaplanet isn’t backing down on Bitcoin, even as the market takes another hit.
The Japan-based firm confirmed it will continue adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet after BTC briefly dropped to the $60,000 level during early Asian trading. The move comes amid growing pressure across crypto markets and falling confidence among equity investors.
Despite the price slide, Metaplanet’s leadership says its long-term strategy remains unchanged. CEO Simon Gerovich addressed shareholders directly, acknowledging the current challenges while reaffirming the company’s direction:
“ We are fully aware that, given the recent stock price trends, our shareholders continue to face a challenging situation,”
he said.
“However, there is no change to Metaplanet’s strategy. We will steadily continue to accumulate Bitcoin, expand revenue, and prepare for the next phase of growth”
Bitcoin later recovered toward the $63,000 range, but the broader trend remains weak. Institutional portfolios have taken heavy unrealized losses, and Metaplanet has not been spared. The company’s stock fell roughly 8% at the open, reflecting investor unease tied to Bitcoin’s volatility.
Metaplanet isn’t alone. Other corporate Bitcoin holders are also sitting on sizable paper losses, yet many continue to double down on accumulation rather than step aside.
Meanwhile, market sentiment remains cautious. A large share of traders are positioning for further downside, with expectations growing that Bitcoin could test lower levels in the near term. Some analysts have even floated scenarios where BTC revisits prices last seen years ago if selling pressure continues.
For now, Metaplanet is choosing conviction over caution, betting that Bitcoin’s long-term upside will outweigh the current drawdown.
