Metaplanet nears 500% YTD yield with 20,136 BTC in treasury
Metaplanet is approaching a 500% year-to-date yield on its 2025 Bitcoin strategy after disclosing another major acquisition.
The firm purchased 136 BTC for $15.2 million at an average price of $111,000 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 20,136 BTC worth roughly $2.057 billion, reports CoinGape.
The company highlighted its Bitcoin yield metric—designed to measure shareholder value tied to its treasury strategy—as the key benchmark driving its accumulation plan. This latest acquisition follows last week’s purchase of 1,009 BTC for $112 million, which allowed Metaplanet to cross the 20,000 BTC threshold.
Aggressive accumulation strategy backed by shareholders
To sustain its buying momentum, Metaplanet shareholders recently approved the issuance of up to 550 million new shares overseas, valued at $884 million. CEO Simon Gerovich described the capital raise as a pivotal step in bolstering governance and ensuring long-term alignment with its Bitcoin-first strategy.
The company’s consistent purchases position it among Asia’s most aggressive corporate Bitcoin investors, with a focus on building a treasury designed to minimize dilution risks and enhance shareholder returns. With its yield nearing 500%, Metaplanet’s accumulation roadmap is increasingly being viewed as a model of high-conviction corporate adoption.
Bitcoin price recovery driven by treasury activity
The announcement coincides with renewed momentum in Bitcoin’s market performance. BTC has recovered to $111,000, up 1% in the past day and nearly 7% over the week, supported by a 23% surge in trading volumes. Corporate treasuries continue to underpin the market: MARA Holdings now holds $5.9 billion worth of Bitcoin after mining 705 BTC in August, while Michael Saylor’s Strategy—the largest corporate holder globally—added 4,048 BTC for $449.3 million at an average of $110,981 per coin. These moves highlight how treasury allocations from major firms are not only shaping market sentiment but also reinforcing Bitcoin’s status as a reserve asset amid growing institutional adoption.
