Japan’s Metaplanet has acquired an additional 160 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 4,206 BTC.

According to the company’s Apr. 2 statement, the latest purchase was made at an average price of 12.49 million yen ($80,063) per Bitcoin (BTC), totaling 1.998 billion yen ($13.39 million). This purchase is a part of Metaplanet’s ongoing Bitcoin treasury strategy, which has played a major role in the company’s expansion. 

Through the sale of cash-secured Bitcoin put options, Metaplanet revealed that it had purchased 696 BTC in Q1 2025. 50 BTC came from premiums, and 645.74 BTC came from option exercises. The total cost for these acquisitions was ¥10.152 billion ($91.7 million). Metaplanet continues to actively raise capital from investors to fund more purchases.

On Mar. 31, the company raised 2 billion yen ($13.22 million) in its 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds, all of which will go toward purchasing additional Bitcoin. Since adopting a Bitcoin-focused strategy, Metaplanet’s stock has risen by more than 3,000%, demonstrating strong investor interest.

The company has stated that it is on track to reach its goal of earning ¥3.0 billion (~$27.5 million) from its Bitcoin program this year. This will help meet the company’s total revenue target of ¥3.4 billion (~$31.3 million) for the entire year.

The primary key perfomance indicator that the company uses to assess the success of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy is its BTC Yield, which measures the percentage change in total Bitcoin holdings compared to fully diluted shares. The Bitcoin yield rose to 309% in Q4 2024 and 95% in Q1 2025.

Metaplanet’s long-term objective is to hold 21,000 BTC by 2026. Its aims to surpass 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, establishing itself as Asia’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
