Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings by 1122% in 2025

Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-listed company, has announced a significant expansion of its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 1,234 BTC. This purchase, valued at approximately ¥19.27 billion, or $132.7 million, was made at an average price of $107,557 per coin. With this acquisition, Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings have reached 12,345 BTC, valued at approximately $1.332 billion. This substantial increase in digital asset exposure reflects the company's strategic commitment to Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.

The company's average purchase price for Bitcoin now stands at $97,036 per coin, indicating that Metaplanet has been accumulating Bitcoin at a favorable price point ahead of its recent climb above $107,000. This strategic move underscores the company's long-term commitment to enhancing shareholder value through Bitcoin operations. Metaplanet views Bitcoin as a core treasury asset and uses BTC Yield as a key metric to evaluate performance. BTC Yield measures the percentage change in the ratio of Bitcoin held to the number of diluted shares outstanding.

For the second quarter of 2025, Metaplanet reported a BTC Yield of 112.2%, following previous yields of 95.6% in Q1, 309.8% in Q4 2024, and 41.7% in Q3 2024. The increase in Bitcoin holdings—from just 398 BTC in September 2024 to over 12,000 in June 2025—demonstrates the company's aggressive ramp-up in digital asset exposure. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that these purchases are part of a long-term strategy to enhance shareholder value through accretive Bitcoin operations. The company’s statement also outlines that the yield performance accounts for dilution effects and is used to communicate capital efficiency to shareholders.

Metaplanet’s sustained commitment to Bitcoin places it among the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in Asia, positioning itself as Japan’s most prominent BTC treasury company. The company aims to amass 210,000 bitcoins by 2027, signaling massive institutional confidence in Bitcoin reserves. This recent acquisition not only overtook Tesla in terms of Bitcoin holdings but also underscores the growing institutional interest in digital assets as a store of value and a means to enhance shareholder returns.
