Metaplanet has added 135 Bitcoin (BTC) to its treasury following a $13 million acquisition announced on February 25, 2025.
This purchase brings the Tokyo-based investment firm’s total Bitcoin reserves to 2,235 BTC, valued at approximately $196 million at current market prices. It was executed at an average price of $96,185 per BTC, funded through a combination of cash reserves and proceeds from recent capital-raising efforts.
The firm, which began integrating Bitcoin into its corporate strategy in April 2024, is now accelerating toward a goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025—an ambition that would position it among the world’s largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Metaplanet now ranks 23rd among public companies holding BTC, far behind U.S.-based Strategy’s 478,000 BTC.
The firm’s leadership views Bitcoin as a hedge against Japan’s economic challenges, including a weakening yen—down 8% against the dollar in the past year—and inflation hovering at 2.5%. Since adopting this strategy, Metaplanet’s stock has surged over 4,000% and attracted 50,000 shareholders.
In its latest announcement, the firm reported that its “BTC Yield”—a metric measuring Bitcoin holdings per diluted share—reached 23.2% for the quarter ending February 25, up from 19.8% in Q4 2024. It aims to achieve a 35% BTC Yield by Q1 2025 and amass 21,000 BTC by 2026.
Metaplanet has also been successful in raising capital to fuel its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. The company’s director of Bitcoin strategy, Dylan Le Clair, noted that Metaplanet has raised $47 million in equity, completing 5.54% of its “21M Plan.”
Earlier this month, the firm secured $26 million through zero-coupon convertible bonds following a January issuance of stock acquisition rights. It is also planning a 10-to-1 stock split in April.
