Japan’s Metaplanet has reinforced its Bitcoin holdings with the recent acquisition of 160 BTC, bringing its total reserves to 4,206 BTC.
In an April 2 announcement, the company revealed that this latest purchase was made at an average price of 12.49 million yen (approximately 80,063 per BTC), amounting to a total investment of 1.998 billion yen (13.39 million). This move is part of Metaplanet’s broader Bitcoin treasury strategy, which has been a key driver of its growth and expansion.
Building on this momentum, Metaplanet disclosed that it acquired 696 BTC in Q1 2025 through the sale of cash-secured Bitcoin put options. Of this total, 50 BTC came from premiums, while 645.74 BTC resulted from option exercises. The company invested ¥10.152 billion ($91.7 million) in these acquisitions, underscoring its commitment to increasing its Bitcoin exposure. To further support its aggressive accumulation strategy, Metaplanet continues to raise capital from investors, ensuring a steady flow of funding for future purchases.
As part of its capital-raising efforts, the company successfully secured 2 billion yen ($13.22 million) on March 31 through its 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds, with the entire amount allocated for additional Bitcoin acquisitions. This shift toward a Bitcoin-focused strategy has significantly impacted Metaplanet’s market performance, with its stock soaring over 3,000%, demonstrating strong investor confidence and enthusiasm.
Financially, the company remains on track to achieve its ambitious targets. According to the announcement, Metaplanet affirmed that it is set to generate ¥3.0 billion ($27.5 million) from its Bitcoin program this year, a major step toward reaching its total revenue target of ¥3.4 billion ($31.3 million).
In evaluating the success of its strategy, Metaplanet relies on BTC Yield as a key performance indicator (KPI), measuring the percentage change in total Bitcoin holdings relative to fully diluted shares. The company reported a BTC Yield of 309% in Q4 2024, followed by 95% in Q1 2025, reinforcing the sustained impact of its strategic Bitcoin accumulation.
