Bitcoin News Today: Metaplanet Buys 463 BTC in ¥7.995 Billion Move Toward 210,000 BTC Target

Metaplanet has continued its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy with the latest purchase of 463 BTC, valued at ¥7.995 billion ($55.17 million), raising its total Bitcoin holdings to 17,595 BTC as of August 4, 2025. The company is on track to meet its 2027 target of holding 210,000 BTC, having already increased its treasury by over 4,200 BTC since June 30 alone. This latest acquisition aligns with Metaplanet’s long-term vision of leveraging Bitcoin as both a store of value and a strategic hedge against macroeconomic risks [1].

The purchase brings the company’s Bitcoin per fully diluted share from 0.00088 less than a year ago to 0.0201 as of August 4, representing a 22-fold increase in 11 months. Metaplanet measures its Bitcoin performance through BTC Yield, which has surged 170% year-to-date. This performance metric highlights the company’s disciplined capital allocation and its ability to deliver value to shareholders through strategic accumulation [1].

To fund further BTC purchases and digital banking expansion, Metaplanet has raised capital through multiple avenues. Most recently, the company announced a ¥3.73 billion ($25.74 million) preferred share offering with a 6% annual dividend on August 2. This capital, combined with prior bond redemptions totaling ¥12.75 billion ($88.99 million) in July, provides a strong financial foundation for continued Bitcoin accumulation [1].

CEO Simon Gerovich has emphasized Bitcoin’s role in protecting against yen depreciation and sovereign debt risks. The company is also exploring the acquisition of a digital bank to generate yield from its growing Bitcoin reserves, further diversifying its revenue streams. Metaplanet’s stock has reflected strong investor confidence, surging 179% year-to-date and 1,391% over the past year. In Q1 FY2025, the company reported record revenue of ¥877 million ($6.05 million) and operating profit of ¥593 million ($4.09 million), underscoring its solid financial position [1].

With a clear roadmap of 30,000 BTC by year-end and 100,000 BTC by 2026, Metaplanet remains focused on disciplined growth. The company’s strategic use of equity issuance, debt financing, and performance tracking via BTC Yield metrics positions it as a key player in the digital asset space. Its ability to scale rapidly while maintaining operational profitability highlights the potential of a well-executed Bitcoin treasury strategy [1].
