Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings by 14.5% to 15,555 BTC

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has recently made a significant addition to its Bitcoin holdings, acquiring 2,205 BTC. This purchase brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 15,555 BTC, positioning it as the fifth-largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency. The acquisition was announced by CEO Simon Gerovich on Monday, revealing that the Bitcoin was purchased for $238.7 million at an average price of $108,237 per unit. As of July 7, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings were procured for around $1.54 billion at an average price of $99,307 per unit.

Metaplanet’s strategy for tracking the success of its Bitcoin investments involves a metric called BTC Yield, which measures the value added per share over time. According to Gerovich, the company has achieved a BTC Yield of 416.6% so far in 2025. This aggressive accumulation strategy has been evident in recent months, with the firm acquiring 1,234 BTC for $133 million on June 26, 1,111 BTC worth $118 million just days prior, and 1,112 BTC for $117 million on June 16, which pushed its holdings to 10,000 BTC.

With the latest purchase, Metaplanet has surpassed Cleanspark Inc. and Galaxy Digital to become the fifth-largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder. The company has ambitious plans to grow its holdings to 30,000 BTC by the end of the year and aims for 210,000 BTC by 2027, which would put its ownership of Bitcoin at 1% of the total supply. This strategic move underscores Metaplanet’s long-term vision and commitment to Bitcoin as a key component of its investment strategy.

Metaplanet’s financial activities include funding its Bitcoin purchases through stock and bond issuances. On June 16, the company issued $210 million in zero-coupon straight bonds to EVO Fund, with all proceeds going toward BTC. Later that month, it announced the release of its 19th Series of Ordinary Bonds valued at around $190 million. Earlier in June, the firm completed the early redemption and full repayment of its 16th, 17th, and 18th Series bonds for $281 million using proceeds from the exercise of its stock acquisition rights. These financial maneuvers demonstrate Metaplanet’s prudent approach to capital management, ensuring that its Bitcoin acquisitions do not compromise its financial stability.
