Metaplanet Denies $320M Bitcoin Sale Rumor, Confirms 43,000 BTC Holdings

A $320 million bitcoin liquidation rumor forced Metaplanet into a rare public denial on Thursday, with the company’s chief executive dismissing the sale chatter and confirming the firm still holds 43,000 BTC.

The position was questioned after sale rumors began circulating, according to the original report. The denial lands at a moment when on-chain watchers and exchange flows are being read more aggressively than usual.

A false liquidation signal tied to a known treasury holder can move sentiment even before any coins change hands. Metaplanet has built a position that makes the firm a reference point for corporate bitcoin adoption in Asia.

Why the Rumor Spread The sale speculation appears to have come from unverified wallet activity rather than any official announcement. For a treasury holder of Metaplanet’s size, even the appearance of movement matters.
