Metaplanet's Bitcoin Bet: 35% Yield by 2025

Metaplanet, a Japanese firm, has been actively acquiring Bitcoin, aiming to achieve a 35% yield by the end of 2025. The company's stock price has already appreciated by 68% this year, and further aggressive Bitcoin acquisition could potentially drive it to 10,000 JPY.

Earlier this year, Metaplanet announced the purchase of 135 Bitcoins for an investment value of $13 million, with an average price of $96,185 per Bitcoin. This purchase came just hours before a significant crypto market crash, where the BTC price slipped to $92,000.

Following this purchase, Metaplanet has attained a year-to-date BTC yield of 23.2% in 2025. As of February 25, 2025, the company holds a total of 2,235 BTC, acquired for roughly $182.9 million at an average price of $81,834 per Bitcoin.

Metaplanet's CEO, Simon Gerovich, shared an update on the company's Bitcoin performance metrics and stated that the firm plans to achieve a BTC yield of 35% by the end of 2025. The Japanese MicroStrategy has already announced its ambitious plan to accumulate 21,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2026.

Gerovich emphasized that BTC yield remains the key performance metric for Bitcoin treasury companies, stating that Metaplanet will continue to focus on maximizing basis points (BPS). The firm's Bitcoin strategist, Dylan LeClair, commented that Metaplanet has successfully raised approximately $47 million in equity within the first four trading days of its ambitious "21m Plan", achieving 5.54% of its target and signaling strong initial momentum.

Last month, Metaplanet's stock rallied to its all-time high level above 7,000 JPY. Although it has since partially retraced and is now trading at 6,010 levels, if the Japanese firm continues with its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition plans, the stock rally could potentially continue further to 10,000 JPY levels.
