Catenaa, Thursday, April 17, 2025-Japanese Bitcoin-stacking firm Metaplanet has purchased an additional 319 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 4,525 BTC, worth $26.3 million. The acquisition, made at an average price of $82,549 per Bitcoin, is part of the company’s ongoing aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
CEO Simon Gerovich announced the move on X, stating that Metaplanet’s BTC yield for the year 2025 stands at 108.3%. As of April 14, 2025, the firm holds 4,525 BTC, acquired for a total of $386.3 million at an average price of $85,366 per Bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s latest Bitcoin purchase follows a recent acquisition of 160 BTC funded by the issuance of $13.3 million in zero-interest bonds. The proceeds were exclusively dedicated to cryptocurrency acquisitions, highlighting the company’s commitment to increasing its Bitcoin holdings, with plans to grow by 470% in 2025, aiming to reach 10,000 BTC by year-end.
The firm’s actions reflect a broader trend of corporate adoption of Bitcoin. Dom Harz, Co-Founder of BOB, noted that Bitcoin is transitioning from a speculative asset to a strategic investment for corporations. As more firms hold Bitcoin, Harz suggests that digital assets will become integrated into their core operations, providing diversity from traditional investments while generating passive yield.
Metaplanet’s acquisitions come amid a volatile period for Bitcoin, with the cryptocurrency experiencing fluctuations due to geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing U.S. trade tariffs. On April 13, Bitcoin saw a drop of over 2%, trading at $83,482, before recovering to $84,469 at press time.
Metaplanet recently appointed Eric Trump to its Strategic Advisory Board to further advocate for digital asset adoption.
