Metaplanet has broadened its cryptocurrency portfolio by acquiring an additional 330 Bitcoin, investing around $28.2 million as part of its treasury management strategy.
The Tokyo-listed company confirmed the transaction in a regulatory filing on Monday, revealing that the average purchase price was approximately $85,561 per Bitcoin.
This latest acquisition brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to 4,855, a substantial increase from 4,525 just one week ago. The company has more than doubled its Bitcoin portfolio since the beginning of the year, positioning itself as one of the most aggressive corporate investors in cryptocurrency in the Asia-Pacific region.
In its announcement, Metaplanet emphasized that the acquisition is in line with its Bitcoin Treasury Operations, a dedicated business unit established in December 2024. This strategy draws parallels with US-based MicroStrategy, which aims to transform fiat reserves into digital assets viewed as a long-term store of value.

Metaplanet Bolsters Bitcoin Strategy with Bond Issuance and New Advisor
As part of its ongoing initiative, Metaplanet disclosed last month that it has issued $13.3 million in zero-interest ordinary bonds, with the proceeds earmarked specifically for further Bitcoin purchases.
Additionally, the Tokyo-based company has initiated the formation of a Strategic Board of Advisors, appointing Eric Trump, the second son of former US President Donald Trump, as the inaugural member. A known advocate for cryptocurrencies, Trump has recently urged Wall Street to evolve with the digital asset landscape or face irrelevance.
Metaplanet did not specify whether the recent Bitcoin acquisition was financed through the bond issuance. However, earlier disclosures indicate that the company has successfully raised considerable capital this year through various financing activities, with significant funds directed toward expanding its Bitcoin holdings.
Metaplanet Reports 95.6% BTC Yield in Q1, Aiming for Sustained Growth
The company tracks its strategy’s success using a proprietary metric known as BTC Yield, which measures Bitcoin growth per fully diluted share. Metaplanet reported a BTC Yield of 95.6% for the first quarter of 2025, with an April yield of 12.1% thus far.
Across its Bitcoin portfolio, Metaplanet’s average purchase price stands at approximately $89,941 per coin, representing a total investment of around $436.6 million. Despite the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency market, the firm is committed to a long-term growth strategy for its shareholders, prioritizing sustained value over short-term fluctuations.
