Metaplanet adds 319 BTC as total holdings approach 5000 Bitcoin

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has purchased 330 more Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 4,855 BTC.

According to the company’s Apr. 21 disclosure, the latest acquisition was made at an average price of ¥12.18 million per Bitcoin (BTC), about $85,605, totaling ¥4.02 billion (~$26 million). Its total Bitcoin stash is now worth ¥62.17 billion ($414 million), with an average purchase price of ¥12.8 million ($85,386) per coin. 

To track its performance, Metaplanet uses a metric called BTC Yield. This measures how much Bitcoin it holds per fully diluted share. So far in this quarter, the company’s Bitcoin Yield is 12.1%. The three quarters prior were even stronger, at 41.7% in Q3 2024, 309.8% in Q4, and 95.6% in Q1 2025.

The company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy is supported by a variety of capital market activities, including the issuance of zero-coupon bonds and stock acquisition rights. As of April 2025, Metaplanet had completed over 40% of its “210 Million Plan,” a fundraising initiative linked to the issuance of 0% discount stock rights to EVO FUND.

The proceeds, which so far amount to over ¥35 billion (~$226 million), have been used to buy Bitcoin. Just recently, on  Apr. 16, the company raised another $10 million through zero-interest bond issuance, which will also go toward additional Bitcoin purchases.

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.

Metaplanet, currently the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia, has greatly increased its exposure since establishing its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in 2024. The company aims to own 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025 and 21,000 Bitcoin by 2026, or roughly 1% of the total supply.
