With this latest acquisition, the company, often dubbed the Japanese “Strategy”, now holds 8,888 BTC, valued at around $851 million based on market prices at the time of purchase. According to the Bitcoin Treasuries database, this move elevates Metaplanet to the 10th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide.
In addition to announcing its recent Bitcoin purchase, Metaplanet provided an update on its BTC Yield metric, which measures the period-over-period percentage ratio between the company’s Bitcoin holdings and its fully diluted shares outstanding. During the first quarter of 2025, spanning January 1 to March 31, the company’s BTC holdings generated their highest yield percentage of the year at 95.6%.
However, this marked a sharp decline from the BTC Yield recorded at the end of 2024, which had surged to 309.8%. The yield further decreased from April 1 to June 2, dropping to 66.3%.
Meanwhile, at press time, Bitcoin’s price has risen 0.4% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $104,848, roughly $4,600 below Metaplanet’s recent purchase price. The 24-hour peak reached $105,804, according to CoinGecko.
Building on its Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet is preparing to deepen its commitment with a $50 million capital raise through a private placement of zero-interest bonds. This initiative is part of the company’s ongoing treasury approach to increase Bitcoin exposure, challenging traditional fiat-based financial models. As outlined in the firm’s May 28 announcement, the zero-coupon bonds will be issued in denominations of $1.25 million and will carry no interest. Instead of periodic returns, investors will benefit solely from the redemption value upon maturity, emphasizing the speculative and long-term nature of this offering.
