Metaplanet, Japan’s premier Bitcoin treasury firm, has recently acquired 1,004 Bitcoin for approximately $104.3 million, averaging around $103,873 per BTC. This strategic purchase elevates the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 7,800 BTC. Metaplanet began its Bitcoin accumulation journey in April 2024, starting with about 98 BTC at a cost of roughly 1 billion yen. By the end of 2024, their holdings had surged to nearly 1,762 BTC, with a cost basis of about 20.9 billion yen.
Following the official launch of their Bitcoin Treasury Operations on December 18, 2024, Metaplanet rapidly expanded its Bitcoin portfolio, achieving 7,800 BTC by May 19, 2025. This growth has been fueled by capital market activities and operational income, raising their total cost basis to over 105 billion yen. The company’s Bitcoin holdings have skyrocketed, increasing 3.9 times year-to-date, with over 5,000 BTC added in 2025 alone. Since adopting a Bitcoin-centric strategy, Metaplanet has witnessed its BTC net asset value soar by 103.1 times and its market capitalization by 138.1 times.
In the past 30 days, Metaplanet has aggressively expanded its Bitcoin treasury, adding 3,275 BTC amid a remarkable 189.1% year-to-date yield on Bitcoin. The company’s Bitcoin strategy has yielded significant returns for shareholders, with a BTC yield of 47.8% for the current quarter. Since July 2024, quarterly BTC yields have been reported at 41.7%, 309.8%, 95.6%, and 47.8%, showcasing strong performance even amidst capital market fluctuations and share dilution.
In its best quarter to date, Q1 FY2025, Metaplanet reported revenue of ¥877 million, an 8% increase quarter-over-quarter, and an operating profit of ¥593 million, up 11%. Total assets surged by 81% to ¥55.0 billion, while net assets skyrocketed by 197% to ¥50.4 billion. Despite a valuation loss of ¥7.4 billion due to a Bitcoin price dip at the end of March, the company rebounded quickly, reporting ¥13.5 billion in unrealized gains as of May 12.
Metaplanet’s management expressed their commitment to becoming Japan’s first dedicated Bitcoin Treasury Company, stating, “Guided by this conviction, we pivoted in 2024.” They also announced the launch of a two-year, ¥116 billion “moving-strike” warrant program, which has already executed 87% of its target, marking the largest and lowest-cost equity financing of its kind in Japan.
