- Bitcoin price recovery and treasury activity supported gains in crypto-related equities.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet saw its shares rise about 8% on Dec. 6 as renewed buying lifted crypto-linked stocks.

Metaplanet Stock and Bitcoin Momentum
Metaplanet shares climbed to around 510 yen, recovering from levels near 398 yen seen in mid-December, according to Google Finance data.
The rally coincided with Bitcoin moving back toward the $95,000 range, which improved confidence in firms holding digital assets on their balance sheets.
Metaplanet is recognized as one of Asia’s largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, with more than 35,000 BTC valued above $3 billion at current prices.
The company disclosed additional BTC purchases during the fourth quarter, reinforcing its treasury-focused digital asset strategy.
Investor interest was reflected both locally and abroad, with the firm’s US-traded shares also recording gains in the prior session.
Broader Market Activity and Buyback Attention
Gains were not limited to Metaplanet, as other crypto treasury firms and mining companies advanced amid a broader return to risk assets.
In the United States, several crypto-linked equities rose alongside an analyst-driven boost in Coinbase shares, contributing to positive market sentiment.
Attention also remained on Metaplanet’s previously announced plan to potentially repurchase up to 150 million yen in shares, though no execution has yet occurred.
Recent filings showing changes in treasury share holdings added to investor focus during the price increase.
Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin gained about 1%, trading near $93,200, supporting interest in companies with significant exposure to digital assets.
Market participants continue to monitor how movements in digital asset prices influence Metaplanet’s share performance alongside its treasury strategy.
