Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made another bold move in the Bitcoin space with a $26 million purchase. The company acquired 330 more BTC, raising its total holdings to an impressive 4,855 BTC. The purchase, made at an average price of $85,605 per coin, reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to a Bitcoin-centered investment strategy.
Bitcoin Yield and Bold Metrics
Metaplanet isn’t just buying Bitcoin — it’s building a model around it.The company uses a unique metric called BTC Yield to evaluate performance. This metric calculates the amount of Bitcoin held per fully diluted share.. For the current quarter, BTC Yield stands at 12.1%, following previously explosive returns of 41.7%, 309.8%, and 95.6% across the last three quarters.
This unique approach has made Metaplanet a standout player among traditional firms diving into digital assets.
Funding the Future with Innovation
To support its aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy, Metaplanet has tapped into capital markets through zero-coupon bonds and stock acquisition rights. As of April 2025, the firm has completed over 40% of its ambitious ¥210 million ($1.56 billion) “210 Million Plan”, having raised more than $226 million to date. Just last week, it secured an additional $10 million via a zero-interest bond issuance.
The firm projects it will earn ¥3 billion ($27.5 million) from its Bitcoin strategy this year, aiming to hit ¥3.4 billion ($31.3 million) in total revenue — a significant chunk fueled by crypto returns.
Investor Sentiment Soars
This bold strategy appears to be paying off. Metaplanet’s stock has skyrocketed by 1,086% over the past year on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, highlighting strong investor confidence in the company’s Bitcoin-first approach.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin itself is on an upward trajectory, trading at $87,279, up 2.5% in the past 24 hours. With Metaplanet leading the charge, it’s clear that institutional interest in Bitcoin is not just growing — it’s evolving.
As the firm continues to stack sats, Metaplanet is redefining corporate treasury strategies. All eyes are on how its Bitcoin experiment could influence traditional finance in Asia and beyond.
