Metaplanet’s Valuation Slips Below Bitcoin Holdings — Here Is Why Investors Are Divided

  • Metaplanet’s mNAV falls to 0.99, meaning its enterprise value is now below its BTC holdings.
  • Shares drop 18% in a month despite being up 38% year-to-date.
  • Analysts see the dip as temporary, with long-term targets near 2,400 yen by 2026.

The Japanese Bitcoin giant now trades at a discount to its BTC reserves, raising questions about market confidence versus long-term conviction.

Metaplanet, Japan’s well-known Bitcoin treasury firm, has reached an unusual milestone — and not the kind it would celebrate. For the first time, the company’s enterprise value has dipped below the value of its Bitcoin holdings, signaling that the market now values the firm at less than its crypto reserves.

According to its latest update, Metaplanet’s mNAV (market net asset value) dropped to 0.99 on Tuesday, meaning investors are pricing its business operations at a discount compared to its Bitcoin stash. The firm currently holds 30,823 BTC, worth over $3.45 billion, making it the fourth-largest public Bitcoin holder in the world. Despite that, its stock price has slumped 18.4% over the past month and is down 74.5% from its all-time high, closing Tuesday at 482 yen.

Why the Valuation Gap Matters

The mNAV ratio is a key metric for Bitcoin treasury firms, often reflecting how efficiently they can leverage their holdings without diluting shareholders. A figure below 1 indicates a disconnect between asset value and market confidence. Analysts say this drop likely reflects broader market fear following last week’s massive selloff tied to President Trump’s 100% tariff threat on Chinese imports, which triggered a market-wide panic.

Benchmark Equity Research analyst Mark Palmer called the dip “a temporary overreaction,” noting that Metaplanet’s core thesis remains strong — using Bitcoin as a programmable, inflation-resistant reserve asset. He reiterated a price target of 2,400 yen by the end of 2026, citing the company’s ongoing efforts to develop BTC-backed financial products as a long-term differentiator.

What’s Next for Metaplanet

Metaplanet recently paused its 20th–22nd series of stock acquisition rights to “optimize capital raising strategies,” a move aimed at preserving shareholder value while expanding its Bitcoin reserves. Even amid the volatility, the company is still up 38.5% year-to-date, highlighting that its long-term Bitcoin pivot continues to attract speculative confidence — just not enough to offset short-term fear.

With the U.S.–China trade war tensions heating up again and global markets on edge, Metaplanet’s undervaluation could either be a warning — or a buying opportunity for those who believe the next Bitcoin rally will pull its stock back above parity.
