Japanese investment firm Metaplanet Inc. has significantly boosted its Bitcoin reserves by acquiring an additional 156 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 2,391 BTC. This latest purchase, announced on March 3, was made at an average price of 12.95 million yen ($85,483) per Bitcoin, totaling 2.021 billion yen ($13.34 million).
Since incorporating Bitcoin into its business strategy in July 2024, Metaplanet has rapidly expanded its crypto holdings, growing from 161 BTC to its current total. The company’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has been supported by capital market activities, including bond issuances and stock purchase rights.
Metaplanet also shared its BTC Yield, a key metric that measures the efficiency of Bitcoin accumulation relative to share dilution. After a 309.8% yield in Q4 2024, the company’s BTC yield from January 1 to March 3, 2025, stands at 31.8%.
In addition to its Bitcoin purchases, Metaplanet raised 4 billion yen ($26.4 million) in February 2025 through the issuance of its 6th Series of Ordinary Bonds. These zero-coupon bonds were issued to fund its ongoing Bitcoin acquisitions. By February 21, the company had repaid half of the bond amount ahead of schedule, and it continued its funding efforts with a new 2 billion yen ($13.2 million) bond issue on February 27, under its 7th Series of Ordinary Bonds. The bonds are set to mature on August 26, 2025.
To date, Metaplanet has invested a total of 29.83 billion yen ($196.87 million) in Bitcoin, with an average purchase price of 12.47 million yen ($82,322) per Bitcoin.
