We have the same questions as you. Read on!
Metaplanet’s Latest Purchase
The latest Bitcoin purchase was, in an average price of 11.8 million yen per BTC, 3.78 billion yen. By this acquisition, Metaplanet now owns total of 4,525 BTC at the buy price of 12.8 million yen each. That’s worth about 58.1 billion yen.
The crypto market has had a downturn, but Metaplanet’s stock has remained steady with a 0.57% increase this year. Every new purchase is indicative of the company’s long term confidence in Bitcoin as a valuable asset.
Measuring Growth with ‘BTC Yield’
To measure how well its Bitcoin strategy is performing, Metaplanet employs a specific statistic called BTC Yield. This is the company’s Bitcoin holdings in relation to the number of shares being in the floating stock.
From January to March 2025, Metaplanet achieved a BTC Yield of 95.6%. Between April 1st and April 14th yield was 6.5%, not stop growth even on shorter period of time.
How Is Metaplanet Affording the Bitcoin?
To finance its considerable Bitcoin buys, Metaplanet has partnered with big-time investor EVO FUND. The company has not used the conventional loans, which require the interest to be paid, but instead has issued zero-coupon bonds, which don’t have interest.
In return EVO FUND gets the right to purchase Metaplanet shares at the market price. When EVO FUND purchases those shares, Metaplanet gets cash and can use the cash to repay the bonds or for buying more Bitcoin.
From January to March 2025, the company had several bond rounds, each between 2 to 4 billion yen, to participate in its Bitcoin investment strategy.
Aggressive Expansion With Minimal Dilution
Even though it has issued millions of shares, Metaplanet says it is being selective in controlling dilution, which means the owners of the company are losing less percentage of ownership. The firm works with a calculation of “Bitcoin per fully diluted share” to demonstrate that each share is becoming more valuable in Bitcoin terms.
A Japanese Look at the Strategy Playbook
Metaplanet is taking a similar approach to that of U.S.-based MicroStrategy, now Strategy, converting its corporate treasury into a big Bitcoin reserve. By combining intelligent funding and tactical stock release, the business is making a solid wager on Bitcoin as a long-term asset.
As crypto interest in Japan rises, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a bitcoin adoption pioneer in the corporate space across Asia.
