Japanese company Metaplanet has enhanced its Bitcoin treasury approach by acquiring 2,205 additional BTC, as revealed in an announcement on July 7.
Key Highlights:
- Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings have now reached 15,555 BTC, valued at approximately $1.7 billion.
- The Bitcoin Yield surged by 15.1% over the week, resulting in 2,017 BTC worth 31.7 billion yen being added.
- The firm has seen its Bitcoin treasury increase fourfold since March, indicative of a vigorous accumulation strategy.
This latest acquisition elevates Metaplanet’s overall Bitcoin reserves to 15,555 BTC, with a total worth of around 225.8 billion yen ($1.7 billion), based on an average purchase price of 14.5 million yen per coin. The recent purchase, priced at 34.5 billion yen, aligns with the firm’s commitment to Bitcoin treasury operations, which it officially recognized as a business line back in December 2024.
Metaplanet’s BTC Yield Soars 15.1%, Adding 2,017 BTC in One Week
Company records indicate that Metaplanet’s BTC Yield—a metric that measures the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share—rose by 15.1% between July 1 and July 7, contributing 2,017 BTC valued at 31.7 billion yen during the current quarter.
This yield reflects the net growth of Bitcoin relative to share dilution, a factor the firm considers crucial for shareholder value enhancement.
The company’s continuous Bitcoin acquisitions have been funded through a combination of capital market initiatives and operational revenue.
Additionally, Metaplanet recently conducted an early redemption of 6 billion yen from a recent bond issue, using proceeds from stock acquisition rights exercises to repay investors.
The firm’s assertive Bitcoin purchasing approach has outstripped conventional corporate strategies toward digital assets.

Since the beginning of 2025, Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin holdings from under 4,000 BTC in March to over 15,500 BTC by July, resulting in a fourfold increase in just four months.
This Bitcoin-centric strategy parallels moves by firms in the U.S. but operates on a distinct scale within Japan.
“Metaplanet has acquired 2,205 BTC for approximately $238.7 million at around $108,237 per Bitcoin and achieved a BTC Yield of 416.6% year-to-date for 2025. As of July 7, 2025, we hold 15,555 BTC acquired for roughly $1.54 billion at around $99,307 per Bitcoin,” noted CEO Simon Gerovich in a recent post on X.
Data from BitcoinTreasuries indicates that at least 21 new entities have added Bitcoin to their holdings in just the past month.
Concerns Rise Regarding the Long-Term Sustainability of Bitcoin Treasury Strategies
Last week, Glassnode lead analyst James Check expressed concerns over the durability of the Bitcoin treasury strategy, suggesting that easier gains may no longer be available for new entrants as the market evolves.
These worries echo sentiments shared by Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, who has raised red flags concerning the Bitcoin treasury tactics employed by various publicly traded companies.
Sigel specifically criticized the use of at-the-market (ATM) share issuance programs, arguing that these could lead to dilution if the company’s stock price approaches its Bitcoin net asset value (NAV).
Meanwhile, law firm Pomerantz LLP has initiated a class action lawsuit against Michael Saylor’s Strategy, alleging that the Bitcoin-centric firm misled investors about the profitability and risks associated with its crypto investment strategies.
