Metaplanet buys 319 BTC as part of Bitcoin strategy
Metaplanet reports 108% BTC yield in 2025 amid aggressive accumulation.
Tokyo-listed Bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet has reported a 108.3% BTC Yield year-to-date in 2025, underlining the success of its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed in an April 14 post on X that the company now holds 4,525 BTC worth approximately $386.3 million, with an average purchase price of $85,366 per coin, reports Crypto News.
The announcement followed Metaplanet’s latest purchase of 319 BTC for ¥3.78 billion ($26.3 million). The acquisition came just weeks after the company added 160 BTC for $13.4 million, as part of a broader plan to reach 10,000 BTC by year-end and 21,000 BTC by 2026. To track performance, Metaplanet uses its proprietary BTC Yield metric, which grew 309.8% in Q4 2024 and 95.6% in Q1 2025.
Strategic bond, equity moves fuel rapid growth
To finance its expanding Bitcoin reserves, Metaplanet has combined equity and debt fundraising. Since January, the firm has issued over 21 million shares under its “210 Million Plan,” raising more than ¥35 billion—about 42% of the total targeted issuance. The most recent funding included exercises from the 14th and 17th series of stock acquisition rights.
Metaplanet has also relied on zero-coupon bonds to support its treasury efforts. The company fully redeemed its 9th Series ¥2 billion bond ahead of its September 2025 maturity using proceeds from EVO FUND. Additionally, it announced a fresh ¥2 billion ($13.3 million) bond issuance on March 31.
According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Metaplanet is now Asia’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. Globally, it trails only U.S.-based Strategy, which holds 528,185 BTC valued at $44.5 billion. However, Strategy recently warned investors it may sell part of its Bitcoin reserves if it cannot raise fresh capital.
Metaplanet’s performance underscores how public companies are increasingly turning to Bitcoin as a strategic treasury reserve, especially in Asia, where crypto adoption is gaining momentum despite ongoing regulatory scrutiny.
Recently we wrote, that Metaplanet, the Tokyo-listed hotel operator turned Bitcoin treasury company, has redeemed ¥2 billion (approximately $13.5 million) of zero-interest bonds more than five months ahead of schedule.
