Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet has spent approximately $160 million to repurchase 96.4474 million shares.

Japan-based bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet repurchased 96,447,400 shares of its common stock for ¥25.269 billion (roughly $160 million) between October 14 and 31, 2026, according to an official company announcement. The buyback is part of a previously approved program allowing the company to repurchase up to 200 million shares—14.7% of outstanding common shares excluding treasury stock—for a maximum of ¥60 billion (about $380 million) by October 13, 2027. As of October 31, Metaplanet had used approximately 42.1% of the authorized buyback capacity. The accelerated repurchase signals management's confidence in the company's bitcoin accumulation strategy and may support the stock by reducing float. Investors will be watching whether the company completes the remaining ~57.9% of the program ahead of schedule and how ongoing share retirement affects per-share bitcoin exposure.
