Catenaa, Sunday, February 23, 2025 – Japan’s investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 269.43 BTC, worth approximately $25.9 million.
This recent purchase has pushed its total Bitcoin reserves to 2,031.41 BTC. The acquisition was made at a rate of 14,846,322 yen (roughly $97,985.73) per Bitcoin, continuing the firm’s strategy of stockpiling the cryptocurrency.
Metaplanet tracks its BTC Yield, a metric that reflects the ratio of its Bitcoin holdings relative to its total shares.
The yield has fluctuated over the past year, rising from 41.7% in Q3 2024 to 309.8% in Q4 2024, and currently stands at 15.3% as of February 17, 2025.
The company’s Bitcoin-first approach has led to its meteoric rise, with its stock surging over 4,000% in the past year. Following in the footsteps of Michael Saylor’s strategy with MicroStrategy, Metaplanet aims to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
To achieve this, the firm plans to leverage global partnerships and increase Bitcoin adoption in Japan.
In addition to Bitcoin-related activities, Metaplanet generates revenue through its hotel operations via Wen Tokyo Co., which owns the Royal Oak Hotel in Tokyo. The company also earns from Bitcoin put options and is actively expanding its presence within the global Bitcoin ecosystem.
