Metaplanet Inc., has added 319 bitcoin to its growing digital treasury. The company made the latest purchase at an average price of $83,147 per bitcoin, reflecting continued confidence in its long-term crypto strategy. 

This acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 4,525 BTC, with a cumulative investment of roughly $408.1 million. The company’s average purchase cost stands at $90,194 per coin as it continues building a sizable position in Bitcoin.

Ongoing Shift in Corporate Treasury Management

The company first rolled out its Bitcoin treasury operations in December 2024, positioning the move as a strategic decision to deliver more value to shareholders. 

Since then, Metaplanet has steadily increased its Bitcoin exposure, treating digital assets as a core part of its corporate finance model. This approach marks a clear shift away from traditional cash reserves in favor of decentralized financial instruments. 

The strategy aligns with the company’s vision to use Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation in the long run.

BTC Yield as a Performance Metric

Rather than just tracking Bitcoin price performance, Metaplanet has introduced BTC Yield as a way to measure its success. The metric looks at Bitcoin holdings relative to the number of company shares outstanding. 

For the first quarter of 2025, the firm reported a BTC Yield of 95.6%, showing a strong correlation between digital asset growth and shareholding value.

As of April 14, the company’s year-to-date BTC Yield has reached 6.5%, reflecting steady progress in its aggressive treasury build-up.

Aggressive Accumulation Plans for 2025 and Beyond

Earlier in April, Metaplanet had acquired an additional 160 BTC for approximately $13.4 million. The company is now aiming to hold over 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, with a long-term goal of acquiring 21,000 BTC by 2026. 

To meet these targets, Metaplanet has been raising capital through equity and debt instruments. This includes issuing zero-coupon bonds and partnering with EVO FUND for stock acquisition rights. 

As part of its ambitious “210 Million Plan,” the firm has already issued 21 million new shares in five separate tranches since January.

Metaplanet’s continued push into Bitcoin signals a bold new direction for publicly traded firms in Japan. With a clear plan, consistent funding, and measurable goals, the company is not just riding a trend but shaping a long-term digital asset strategy. 

While some view the plan as risky, others see it as forward-thinking in an era of evolving financial systems. If Metaplanet continues at this pace, it may soon stand among the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in the world, further blurring the line between traditional finance and the future of digital value.
