Metaplanet buys Bitcoin again: holding exceeds 6,700 coins, with a total value of over 90.1 billion yen!

In an era where companies are increasingly investing in Crypto Assets, the Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed company Metaplanet Inc. has expanded its Bitcoin holdings once again. The company announced on May 12, 2025, that it has purchased an additional 1,241 Bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to 6,796 coins, making it one of the few significant players in the Asian business sector venturing into Crypto Assets. Behind this "buying action" lies not only asset allocation but also a long-term strategy that combines Capital Market operations with digital asset strategies.

Metaplanet makes a big move in buying coins: a single investment of 18.4 billion yen

Metaplanet indicates that the newly acquired 1,241 Bitcoins were purchased at an average price of 14,848,061 yen per coin, totaling 18.426 billion yen. Cumulatively, as of May 12, the company's total holdings amount to 6,796 coins, with an average purchase price of 13,270,989 yen per coin, bringing the total investment amount to 90.19 billion yen.

Bitcoin Reward Indicator: BTC Yield continues to rise

To measure the tangible returns of Bitcoin investments for shareholders, Metaplanet has launched a unique financial metric — BTC Yield (Bitcoin Yield). This metric reflects the quarterly change rate of Bitcoin holdings relative to the diluted number of shares outstanding.

Since the third quarter of 2024, the company's BTC Yield has shown explosive growth:

Q3 (2024/7–9): 41.7%

Q4 (2024/10–12): 309.8%

Q1 (2025/1–3): 95.6%

Q2 (2025/4–5/12): 38.0%

The corresponding BTC Gain (assuming no net increase in coin issuance) and BTC ¥ Gain (the value in yen calculated based on the market price of Bitcoin) also continue to grow.

Capital market operations assistance: dual approach of warrant issuance and interest-free bond fundraising.

The Bitcoin purchase funds of Metaplanet do not all come from operating profits, but rather through a series of flexible Capital Market operations, including multiple issuances of interest-free convertible bonds and stock purchase warrants to EVO FUND. For example:

Between February and May 2025, the company will successively issue the 6th to 13th series of interest-free bonds, with a total fundraising amount exceeding 40 billion yen and 36 million US dollars.

During the same period, through the large-scale exercise of warrants for series 13 to 17 stocks, over 41.7% of the "210 million share plan" was completed.

Almost all the funds obtained from these operations are used to increase Bitcoin.

Hundreds of Bitcoins earned weekly: Holdings rapidly expand

Since Metaplanet officially incorporated Bitcoin into its business line in December 2024, the number of coins held has almost increased weekly. From 4,046 coins at the end of March 2025, it skyrocketed to 6,796 coins in less than two months.

It is worth noting that the company has purchased over 2,700 Bitcoins in just two months, with a total investment amount increasing by nearly 38 billion yen.
