Capital Research and Management reported holding 143,301,084 Metaplanet shares, representing 11.11% of voting rights as of October 16, compared with 9.32% on September 8. The larger stake and Metaplanet’s share buyback both contributed to the higher percentage, but the data do not date individual trades or establish a new corporate Bitcoin purchase. Metaplanet repurchased 73,981,400 shares on October 14 at 261 yen per share, costing 19.309 billion yen and reducing the share count used as the denominator for voting rights. The buyback programme allows purchases of up to 200 million shares and 60 billion yen between October 14, 2026, and October 13, 2027. The company said it had not independently verified the investor’s reported beneficial ownership.
