Metaplanet has bought more bitcoin, the company bought 4279 bitcoin for about $451 million. The company now has total holdings of 35102 BTC as part of its long-term treasury strategy.

The company shares ended the year up around 8% at 405 yen. The company's bitcoin income generation business, which uses derivatives to earn recurring revenue, is expected to deliver about $55 million in 2025.

I just like how bitcoin treasury management companies like Strategy and Metaplanet continue to buy bitcoin, this will encourage more people to buy bitcoin. More companies will later them join also as the adoption continue.

Metaplanet at it again, the power of buying is getting more stronger, even at $86,000 we still have many interested in buying the more to hold.

Some are buying at $86k while some are thinking if this could be the beginning of another fall and are busy laughing out without knowing what they are probably missing out by not buying, if we expect the market to fall the more by January 2026 and it happens that it rises, where do we stand.

Why are you not buying Bitcoin

These major players are focused on the long term (ordinary people worse than them?) and therefore will still make a good profit (a little later).

If Metaplanet bought 4,279BTC for $451 million., why didn't the bitcoin rate react to it?

It's always been like this: most people dump bitcoin when the price drops, while a minority buys it. The majority can't profit, so you know who will ultimately benefit.

Many expect the crypto market to crash in 2026, but if that doesn't happen and bitcoin rises in price, the losers will undoubtedly start whining about a missed opportunity again. Although, it seemed, nothing was stopping them from following the Metaplanet’s example now. Just think, ~4,279BTC (not 10, not 100, but thousands) was bought.

Really nice to see more whales fattening at the current market condition, if there is one thing this phenomenon tells me, it is that we probably should do what the whales are doing now, buy bitcoin for ourselves and try as much as we can to gather as much of it so we can increase what we are hodling and focusing on the long term is the best thing to do given how much the bitcoin market has changed in over a decade, the only reason that stops you from doing the same thing that these whales do right now is your lack of faith to what bitcoin can do to your future.

Most big companies don't buy their Bitcoin at once so they don't induce a FOMO in the market, they buy gradually within a timeframe. I've seen reports by microstrategy that they bought thousands of Bitcoin for a whole week, they buy gradually allowing the market to react naturally until they've completed their purchase.

It's good more institution are pushing to add more Bitcoin to their balance sheets, if the interest continues, we could see better Bitcoin performance come next year.

There is no doubt that whenever big money or whales give these kinds of signs publicly, then as a result, it boosts the adoption of Bitcoin and starts to make it more popular in the international world, where we know very clearly that this world has become a global village and everyone can get to know these kinds of steps easily. So, there is no doubt that other people also get influenced by the big money or whale action, and as a result, they also start to show their interest in buying Bitcoin.

Besides this, this year bitcoin has achieved a lot of things, like it has been added to US strategic reserves, and seeing this, many other countries are considering adding it to their national strategic reserves as well. And we know this is the biggest achievement for Bitcoin, where the fact is that everyone always looks at the US step, and if it is best for their country, then they also have to consider it for their economic growth.

In 2025, Bitcoin has many and best ever adoption growth especially in legal adoption and national adoption but these new demands on Bitcoin even are huge but can not cover bigger selling pressure from Bitcoin ogs. We don't know why many Bitcoin ogs woke up in 2025 and not only woke up with Bitcoin movements from wallets to new wallets but also actually sold their bitcoins on the market.

In a balance between demand and supply, supply is bigger than demand and Bitcoin price was affected with considerable pull back power from Bitcoin ogs. Let's hope that something will become more bullish in 2026 with less selling pressure from Bitcoin ogs while there will be bigger demands from Bitcoin Spot ETFs, other institutional investors and nations.

The buys of these companies that are heavily invested on Bitcoin will continue to encourage people to invest on Bitcoin, the price has not been a barrier for some people again as they complained before that Bitcoin is too expensive to buy now and many people were sacred of buying because they don't want the price to dump below their entry price, now many people have the confidence that since other companies are buying more, they should also buy because they now believe that even after a dump, it's still going to moon after all.

Why are you not buying Bitcoin
 

Crazy right? The fear greed index tells more about this as a lot of investors haven't recovered from November dump.

The current price level shouldn't be for us to be scared. If bitcoin was going to continue going down it would have done that weeks ago. For now we must focus more on trying to use this opportunity to accumulate because who knows how the first few months into 2026 would be like.

Ones institutions resumes their buys price will ones again trend to the upside and it might be too late for anyone who held back..

You guys should stop thinking that this news is bullish right away. Let's look at Metaplanet's share price over the last six months.



The business model of bitcoin treasury companies is highly questionable. They all have similar graphs for the last six months, during which time bitcoin has fallen by only 18%.

The winner is Nakamoto, which was trading at $25 when the bitcoin treasury model was launched, and look at where it is now:



The market no longer believe that any failing company will be able to not only save itself but also send its share price skyrocketing simply by buying bitcoin and selling shares.

^ That's an interesting point of view.

Truly, BTC is no magic wand - and you can't go over everything only by having BTC as your bulwark (the are exceptions to this, the ones that got into the space first).

It's good more institution are pushing to add more Bitcoin to their balance sheets, if the interest continues, we could see better Bitcoin performance come next year.

I agree with the OP that companies like Strategy and Metaplanet buying bitcoin will encourage more people to take an interest in and invest in bitcoin. However, we need to note that their purchase of bitcoin, and in such large quantities, is not without its drawbacks. Because their goal is also profit. So if these institutions suddenly change their strategy and sell Bitcoin en masse onto the market, it would cause much stronger and more brutal market volatility.

Instead of assuming this will boost bitcoin's performance next year, the opposite could also happen. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they could also be a factor in making a bear market more brutal.

not that we need to look at others to make our own decisions but seeing major companies like metaplanet and strategy continuing to purchase bitcoin even right before the year ends should show that the level of trust in bitcoin has been higher than ever before

While that encourages people to buy. They have to act on it before Metaplanet and Microstrategy purchases majority of the available Bitcoin's in the market.

A time I think last 2021 when exchanges have lessened the selling limit of everyone. Although they can go directly to the miners.

But that could happen at their advantage. Anyway, that's not a problem for us to worry when we are just holding so few.
