According to the company’s announcement, Metaplanet acquired 145 BTC at an average price of ¥13,280,472 ($93,327) per Bitcoin, resulting in a total expenditure of approximately ¥1.926 billion ($13.6 million) for this latest purchase.
Metaplanet Reports Strong Bitcoin Yield
The company has invested a total of $448 million to amass its 5,000 BTC, with an average purchase price of $89,743 per Bitcoin.
As of now, Metaplanet has recorded a Bitcoin Yield of 121.1% Year-to-Date (YTD) for 2025, according to Gerovich. The firm’s notable Bitcoin yield percentages over recent quarters reflect its robust strategy in acquiring the cryptocurrency.
To gauge its performance, Metaplanet employs a metric known as BTC Yield, which measures the change in the ratio of total BTC held to fully diluted shares outstanding over specific intervals.
Additionally, the company has been proactive in capital markets, issuing stock acquisition rights to support its Bitcoin accumulation efforts.
