Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings by 1,005 BTC, 129.4% Yield This Quarter

Metaplanet Inc., a prominent player in the Bitcoin investment landscape, has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings. On Monday, the company announced the acquisition of 1,005 BTC for approximately $108 million. This purchase brings Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings to 13,350 BTC, positioning it as the fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. The company's aggressive acquisition strategy has been a key driver of this growth, with a notable increase from 3,350 BTC just three months ago.

Metaplanet's latest purchase was made at an average price of nearly $107,601 per Bitcoin. The company has achieved a remarkable BTC yield of 129.4% this quarter and 348.8% year-to-date in 2025. CEO Simon Gerovich highlighted the company's accelerated Bitcoin acquisition strategy, which has allowed it to quickly add 10,000 BTC to its holdings. This strategic move has surpassed competitors such as Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital and BTC mining firm CleanSpark, solidifying Metaplanet's position in the corporate Bitcoin rankings.

In addition to its recent purchase, Metaplanet has announced plans to issue its 19th Series of ordinary bonds worth 30 billion JPY ($208 million) to EVO FUND. The proceeds from this bond offering will be partially used to buy back and cancel the 3rd series of ordinary bonds, which bear interest and are secured by collateral. The remaining funds will be allocated to purchasing additional Bitcoin, further bolstering the company's holdings.

Metaplanet's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy is part of its broader plan to become a major player in the Bitcoin market. The company's "Accelerated 2025-2027 Bitcoin Plan" aims to hold at least 210,000 BTC by 2027. This ambitious goal underscores Metaplanet's commitment to Bitcoin and its belief in the cryptocurrency's long-term potential. The company's stock price has shown resilience, rebounding after an initial drop following the announcement of the accelerated plan. This rebound reflects investor confidence in Metaplanet's strategy and its potential for future growth.
