**Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings to 8,888 BTC with New Acquisition**
Metaplanet, a prominent Bitcoin treasury firm based in Japan, has recently acquired an additional 1,088 Bitcoin for approximately ¥16.89 billion, averaging ¥15,519,019 per BTC. This latest purchase elevates the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC, with an overall investment of ¥122.27 billion at an average cost of ¥13,756,658 per BTC. The firm continues to report positive performance metrics under its proprietary BTC Yield, which measures Bitcoin accumulation per share. As of June 2, 2025, Metaplanet’s BTC Yield stands at 66.3%, following impressive yields of 95.6%, 309.8%, and 41.7% in the previous three quarters. The total Bitcoin gain for Q2 2025 is recorded at 2,684 BTC, equating to a gain of ¥40.54 billion based on a reference Bitcoin price of ¥15.10 million.
Metaplanet’s capital markets activities have been closely aligned with its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. Since January 28, 2025, the company has executed a series of zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing bond issuances and 0% discount stock acquisition rights to EVO FUND, raising over ¥35 billion and USD 121 million. These funds have been utilized for Bitcoin purchases and bond redemptions.
In the first quarter of FY2025, Metaplanet reported its strongest financial performance to date, with revenue increasing by 8% quarter-over-quarter to ¥877 million and operating profit rising by 11% to ¥593 million. The net income surged to ¥5.0 billion, bolstered by unrealized gains of ¥13.5 billion from its Bitcoin holdings, further enhancing the company’s financial stability. Despite a brief dip in Bitcoin prices at the end of March, which resulted in a ¥7.4 billion valuation loss, Metaplanet quickly rebounded as Bitcoin prices surged to new heights. This strong correlation with Bitcoin’s performance has made Metaplanet an attractive investment vehicle for those seeking Bitcoin exposure on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
In a related development, another corporate entity, Strategy, has acquired an additional 705 Bitcoin for approximately $75 million, solidifying its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. According to their SEC filing on June 2, the acquisition was made at an average price of $106,495 per Bitcoin between May 26 and June 1, bringing their total holdings to 580,955 BTC. This purchase was funded through the sale of preferred shares via an at-the-market equity offering.
As Metaplanet and other companies continue to adopt Bitcoin treasury strategies, the landscape of corporate Bitcoin holdings is evolving, indicating a growing acceptance of cryptocurrency in traditional finance.
