By Metaplanet Inc. shares have surged in recent trading, fueled by a strong crypto market rally.
The company, known for holding one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries, has become a favorite among investors seeking BTC exposure through equities.
Metaplanet gains as Bitcoin climbs
Metaplanet’s stock has jumped approximately 8.9% today, coinciding with the rising Bitcoin price, which has recovered significantly since the start of 2026.
Investors view Metaplanet as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure, treating its shares as a way to participate in BTC gains without holding the cryptocurrency directly.
The company currently holds over 35,000 BTC, one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries among public corporations.
Metaplanet stock closed the day at around ¥510, reflecting a significant increase from prior levels.
Its 52-week range has been wide, spanning from ¥291 to nearly ¥1,930, highlighting the stock’s volatility and sensitivity to Bitcoin price movements.
Average trading volumes have also surged as more investors react to both Bitcoin rallies and corporate announcements.
Metaplanet’s strategic moves drive investor confidence
Metaplanet recently announced a ¥150 billion share buyback plan.
This buyback is seen as a move to enhance capital efficiency and support the stock amid rising Bitcoin prices.
Investors responded positively, interpreting the buyback as a signal of confidence in the company’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
The company’s Bitcoin treasury is growing steadily, with recent reports confirming additional BTC purchases in the last quarter of 2025.

Notably, Metaplanet uses a combination of preferred share issuances and loans to fund its Bitcoin acquisitions.
This strategy allows the company to expand its BTC holdings while maintaining operational flexibility.
Its stock’s correlation with Bitcoin has made it a bellwether for crypto-linked equities.
Other Bitcoin treasury stocks have also benefited from the ongoing crypto rally, reinforcing sector-wide momentum.
Bitcoin treasury stocks
As Bitcoin prices continue to recover, other Bitcoin treasury stocks like Strive (ASST), Strategy (MSTR), MARA Holdings (MARA), and Coinbase Global (COIN), among others, have also seen significant gains.
At press time, for instance, the Strive stock was up 19% today, significantly higher than Metaplanet.
Investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) without directly holding the asset are increasingly turning to these corporate BTC proxies.
With Bitcoin price rising back towards $100,000, companies holding substantial BTC reserves could see increased investor interest, especially since their stock prices seem to correlate with the Bitcoin price movements.
This trend is expected to continue, at least for the first quarter of 2026, seeing that the crypto market has started the year on a very high note.
With a robust BTC treasury and proactive capital strategies, Metaplanet remains at the forefront of the emerging Bitcoin equity market.
