The post Metaplanet Stock Holds 13% Gain As $3.78B Bitcoin Bet Faces Key Test appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Key Insights: Metaplanet stock trades between ¥388 and ¥478 as Bitcoin controls direction. ¥478 breakout could target ¥534 if Bitcoin rises in early 2026. A large Bitcoin treasury gives long-term hope, but short-term risk stays high. Metaplanet stock was trading near ¥405 after dropping 14% in five days, but it still holds a small 13% gain for 2025. The chart now sits in a narrow range where even small moves in Bitcoin can change direction fast. Traders are watching because the company keeps buying Bitcoin even with unrealized losses. The next leg of price movement depends less on Metaplanet itself and more on whether Bitcoin can recover at the start of 2026. Metaplanet holds 35,102 Bitcoin, worth about $3.78 billion. The average buy price near $107,606 per Bitcoin means that BTC near $88,000 leaves around $504 million in unrealized losses. This loss is not final until coins are sold, but it affects sentiment because it shows how much room is needed for breakeven. In the fourth quarter, the company added 4,279 Bitcoin, worth around $451 million, at an average of $105,412. This shows the strategy is not short-term. They are building a large balance sheet of Bitcoin for future use, not for quick trading profits. Metaplanet reports a 568.2% Bitcoin yield for 2025. This is not 568% profit. It means the company increased how much Bitcoin it holds by that percentage. It is a growth in coins, not a growth in dollars. Public firms now hold about 1.09 million Bitcoin, which is around 5.1%  of the total supply. MicroStrategy and Metaplanet are the most aggressive buyers in this group, and this has pushed both stocks into the spotlight. If Bitcoin becomes stable or bullish again, demand from these companies could give the market a stronger base than retail traders alone.…
