Metaplanet jumps 5% today, pushing 2026 gains to 35%

Metaplanet shares rose more than 5% today, extending gains to over 35% year-to-date as investor focus returns to the company’s Bitcoin strategy.

Metaplanet has accumulated more than 35,000 Bitcoin since launching its treasury program in April 2024. The company confirmed its latest purchase on December 30, buying 4,279 Bitcoin for roughly $451 million and reaching the 35,000 BTC milestone just before the start of 2026.

The steady accumulation has drawn renewed attention to the stock, even as Bitcoin continues to underperform other risk assets since October 2025. BTC is currently holding the $90,000 level without any major tailwind or headwind in sight, leaving investor sentiment in a wait-and-see mode.

Still, despite the recent rebound, Metaplanet shares remain down about 75% from their all-time high reached in May 2025.
