These recent actions underline Metaplanet’s commitment to utilizing conventional financial instruments, including bonds and equity-linked products, to cultivate one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries in Asia.
Bitcoin Becomes Core Business Line as Metaplanet Accelerates Accumulation
Since initiating its Bitcoin acquisition strategy in 2024, Metaplanet has significantly increased its investment in the cryptocurrency, which has become a fundamental element of its treasury approach. This approach was formally recognized as a separate business line in December 2024.
Currently, Metaplanet has invested approximately 54.3 billion yen (around $359 million) in Bitcoin at an average price of 12.9 million yen ($85,300) per BTC. This aggressive purchasing strategy has been facilitated by support from its strategic partner EVO FUND, primarily through zero-coupon bond issuances and stock acquisition rights.
Metaplanet Posts 95.6% BTC Yield in Q1 as It Ramps Up Holdings
To better inform its investors, Metaplanet has introduced new metrics including BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC ¥ Gain, which assess Bitcoin accumulation in relation to share dilution and capital deployment. In the last quarter, the firm achieved a BTC Yield of 95.6%, with an early 3.9% yield already recorded in the initial days of Q2.
With its balance sheet now reflecting 4,206 BTC valued at approximately $300 million, Metaplanet has positioned itself as one of the most proactive corporate Bitcoin holders on the global stage.
The company’s strategy parallels aspects of MicroStrategy’s approach in the United States, yet adapts it to a Japan-centric model that harmonizes traditional financing with a significant investment in digital assets.
