Per the Bitcoin news, Metaplanet has expanded its BTC treasury in the second quarter after buying another 2,823 BTC. The Japanese firm now holds 43,000 BTC, making it one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders.
Meanwhile, Binance retail BTC inflows have dropped to a record low, showing weak small-holder activity in the current cycle.
Bitcoin News: Metaplanet Buys 2,823 BTC
Metaplanet reported the purchase of 2,823 BTC in the second quarter of 2026. The company paid ¥35.89 billion, or about $222.6 million, for the latest Bitcoin acquisition.
The firm bought the new BTC at an average price of ¥12.71 million, or about $78,835, per coin. This marked Metaplanet’s first Bitcoin purchase since April.
Bitcoin news around the company remains focused on its treasury strategy. Metaplanet increased its holdings from 40,177 BTC at the end of March to 43,000 BTC as of June 30.
The company said its total Bitcoin reserve cost reached ¥659.26 billion, or about $4.08 billion. Its average purchase price now stands at ¥15.33 million per Bitcoin.
Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Treasury Through Targeted Buying
Metaplanet said part of its second-quarter buying came through strategic Bitcoin option sales. The company uses this approach to add BTC while also generating income from its Bitcoin Income business.
The firm reported ¥1.75 billion in quarterly revenue from that business. After adding this income, Metaplanet adjusted the cost of the newly acquired Bitcoin to ¥34.14 billion.
According to the Bitcoin news, Metaplanet reported a lower adjusted average purchase price of about ¥12.09 million per BTC for the latest buy. This shows how the income business affected the net cost of the acquisition.
The company funded its Bitcoin treasury activity mainly through credit facilities and bonds. It avoided new common share issuance during the quarter, except for proceeds tied to the Bitcoin Income business.
Bitcoin News: BTC Yield Rises as Holdings Reach 43,000 Coins
Metaplanet said its BTC Yield rose to 6.6% in the second quarter. The company uses this measure to track Bitcoin growth against its fully diluted share count.
The metric helps shareholders assess whether Bitcoin exposure grows on a per-share basis. Metaplanet links the measure to its capital allocation strategy.
Bitcoin news around corporate treasury firms has remained active as companies continue using BTC as a reserve asset. Metaplanet’s latest filing shows continued buying even during a weaker market phase.
As of June 30, the company valued its 43,000 BTC reserve at about ¥409 billion, or $2.53 billion. The figure shows the gap between its total purchase cost and the market value of its holdings at quarter-end.
Binance Retail Bitcoin Inflows Fall to Record Low
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said retail Bitcoin inflows to Binance have reached their lowest level since the exchange launched. The data tracks wallets holding less than 1 BTC.
The analyst said these wallets now send about 329 BTC per day to Binance. That level sits far below the 2021 bull-market peak of about 2,690 BTC per day.
The Bitcoin news drop suggests that retail traders have not returned with the same strength seen in earlier cycles. Some small investors may now use spot Bitcoin ETFs, hold BTC for longer periods, or shift capital into other assets.
The market also continues to trade near the $60,000 area after recent pressure. Bitcoin price briefly tested the $57,700 to $58,000 range before recovering toward $61,000 on July 2.
Bitcoin Holds Key Range as ETF Outflows Continue
Bitcoin’s short-term rebound came while spot Bitcoin ETFs continued to record outflows. Market reports showed more than $4.5 billion in ETF outflows during June 2026.
These flows have added pressure to Bitcoin price action in recent weeks. However, BTC has stayed near the $60,000 zone instead of breaking sharply lower.
Traders continue to watch the $61,000 to $62,000 area for a possible recovery move. A clear move above that range could support a push toward $65,000. On the downside, failure to hold $60,000 could bring the $57,000 to $58,000 area back into focus.
