Metaplanet, a Japanese company, has significantly expanded its

Bitcoin
holdings. On July 14, the company acquired an additional 797 BTC for $93.6 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 16,352 BTC. This purchase was made at an average price of $117,451 per Bitcoin, with the total investment in Bitcoin now standing at nearly $1.64 billion. The average price per Bitcoin for the entire holdings is $100,191.

Metaplanet's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has been yielding positive results. The company reported a BTC yield of 19.4% over the latest two weeks and an impressive 435.9% year-to-date (YTD) for 2025. This strategy is intended to be beneficial for shareholders, as companies use BTC yield to evaluate the performance of their Bitcoin acquisition efforts.

CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted the company's rapid Bitcoin accumulation, revealing that Metaplanet acquired 7,464 BTC in just 30 days. This accelerated strategy aims to generate value for shareholders and position the company as a major player in the Bitcoin market. Metaplanet is targeting to become the fourth-largest Bitcoin holder by the end of this year, with plans to hold at least 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027 under its Accelerated 2025-2027 Bitcoin Plan.

Despite the recent increase in shareholders, the stock price of Metaplanet fell nearly 1% after the company announced the latest Bitcoin purchase. This drop occurred despite the company's recent early redemption of 6 billion yen from its 19th Series of Ordinary Bonds, which was funded using proceeds from the exercise of the 20th through 22nd Series of Stock Acquisition Rights. The company's net asset value for its Bitcoin holdings is now valued at over $2 billion, with an unrealized gain surpassing $370 million. The outstanding debt stands at $162.86 million.

Metaplanet's shareholders have doubled in just three months, reaching 129,000. The top shareholders have continued to increase their shareholding in the company, as per CEO Gerovich. The stock price closed 0.51% lower at 1,552 yen on Monday, with the 24-hour low and high being 1,536 and 1,599 yen, respectively. The stock price rallied nearly 3% in a month and 347% year-to-date.
