Metaplanet Inc. has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings, announcing the purchase of an additional 775 BTC at an average price of ¥17.72 million per coin, valued at ¥13.7 billion.
This latest acquisition brings the company’s total reserves to 18,888 BTC, accumulated at an average cost of ¥15.04 million per Bitcoin, or ¥284.1 billion in aggregate.
The company, which officially adopted Bitcoin treasury operations as a core business line in December 2024, has rapidly scaled its position through a combination of market purchases and capital market activity. Metaplanet has executed multiple share issuances and bond redemptions to fund acquisitions, with more than 8,000 BTC added since June 2025 alone.

Performance metrics reveal striking growth. From July 1 to August 18, 2025, Metaplanet achieved a Bitcoin Yield (BTC Yield)—a proprietary key performance indicator measuring Bitcoin holdings relative to fully diluted shares—of 29.3%. In earlier quarters, the company reported even stronger gains, including 309.8% in Q4 2024 and 129.4% in Q2 2025.
At the end of Q2, total Bitcoin holdings stood at 13,350 BTC. By mid-August, this had climbed by more than 5,500 BTC. The company’s Bitcoin Gain (BTC Gain), a measure of accretion excluding dilution, stood at 3,909 BTC in the most recent period, equivalent to approximately ¥68.2 billion based on a reference price of ¥17.44 million per coin.
Metaplanet continues to frame its Bitcoin strategy as accretive to shareholders, positioning itself as a corporate pioneer in adopting the digital asset as a primary treasury reserve. With nearly 19,000 BTC on its balance sheet, the company has cemented its role as one of Asia’s most aggressive institutional Bitcoin accumulators.
In addition to its growing Bitcoin position, Metaplanet announced plans to amend its Articles of Incorporation and file a shelf registration for the potential issuance of Class A and Class B Perpetual Preferred Shares. These proposals, approved by the board, will be presented at an Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for September 1, 2025.
