Metaplanet has purchased an additional 1,004 Bitcoin at an average price of 15.13 million yen (approximately $105,000) per coin. The purchase was disclosed in an official notice dated May 19, 2025.

This latest purchase brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 7,800 BTC, which were purchased for a total sum of 15.19 billion yen, or about $105.5 million, according to a document signed by Metaplanet’s Representative Director, Simon Gerovich.

The company’s total Bitcoin investment now stands at 105.38 billion yen ($732 million), with an average purchase price of 13.51 million yen per Bitcoin.

Metaplanet Accelerates Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy

Metaplanet has been expanding its Bitcoin treasury over the past seven weeks. Between April 1 and May 19, 2025, the company increased its holdings by 3,754 BTC. To put this into perspective, this is nearly double its holding from 4,046 Bitcoin on March 31, 2025.

The company’s capital market activities and operating income have been used to fund this strategy. It’s worth noting that Metaplanet began its Bitcoin Treasury Operations as an official business line on December 18, 2024.

BTC Yield Shows Strong Growth Amid Dilution

Metaplanet uses a performance indicator called “BTC Yield” to assess its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. This metric measures the percentage change in the ratio of total Bitcoin holdings to fully diluted shares outstanding over specific periods.

The company’s BTC Yield has fluctuated across reporting periods:

30/9/2024 – 31/12/2024: -36.86%

31/12/2024 – 31/3/2025: 1,030.04%

31/3/2025 – 19/5/2025: 107.03%

The high yield figures across periods show that Metaplanet has managed to increase its Bitcoin-per-share ratio despite expanding its share count. To illustrate, the company’s Bitcoin holdings went up from 398.83 to 7,800, a 1,856% increase.

Raising Capital via Stock Acquisition Rights

The company has also been using Stock Acquisition Rights to raise capital. For instance, between May 1 and 16, 2025, Metaplanet issued 94.14 million new shares through three series of rights.

The firm’s average purchase price of its Bitcoin has jumped from 12.80 million yen on April 21 to 13.51 million yen by May 19, 2025. This price increase might be due to the rapid pace of BTC accumulation in May.

Metaplanet has been consistently making BTC purchases despite recent price volatility. This aggressive accumulation signals Metaplanet’s unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin-first strategy. As traditional market pressures intensify, the firm positions itself as Japan’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder.
