Japanese-listed firm Metaplanet has expanded its bitcoin treasury with a major fourth-quarter acquisition.
The company disclosed it purchased an additional 4,279 bitcoin during the period.
The latest accumulation lifted Metaplanet’s total holdings to 35,102 bitcoin.
The move reinforces its position as the world’s fourth-largest corporate bitcoin holder.
Metaplanet announced the purchases through public statements on social media.
Chief executive Simon Gerovich also confirmed the acquisition through his personal account.
The buying followed closely after Strategy revealed a separate bitcoin purchase earlier in the week.
Market data showed Metaplanet’s holdings were valued at about $3.09 billion at current prices.
Bitcoin was trading near $88,096 per coin at the time of the disclosure.
Metaplanet’s average acquisition cost remains significantly above spot market levels.
The firm’s dollar-cost average price was reported at approximately $107,606 per bitcoin.
That average stands more than 18% above prevailing market prices.
