Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin holdings by adding 150 BTC at an average cost of ¥12.57 million per coin amounting to a ¥1.886 billion investment. This purchase boosts their total Bitcoin assets to 3,350 BTC acquired at an average price of ¥12.60 million each. Since pivoting to incorporate Bitcoin into its strategic framework the company has emerged as the top corporate Bitcoin owner in Asia.
The funding for these acquisitions comes through innovative financial instruments like stock acquisition rights via EVO FUND and zero-coupon bonds. This March saw Metaplanet redeem ¥2 billion in bonds prematurely and simultaneously raise an equivalent amount through new issuances facilitating continual Bitcoin purchases without incurring interest-bearing debt.
The company’s Bitcoin Yield metric shows a 68.3% increase for Q1 2025 following a substantial rise in the previous quarter. Since Metaplanet started investing in Bitcoin in April 2024 its stock value has soared by over 3000% reflecting a strong investor confidence boost.
