Metaplanet Inc. has further increased its Bitcoin reserves, acquiring an additional 150 BTC at an average price of 12,526,226 yen per Bitcoin. The total transaction amounted to 1.879 billion yen. With this latest purchase, the Tokyo-based firm now holds a total of 3,200 Bitcoin, valued at 40.331 billion yen in aggregate.

According to the notice shared on X, the company has been actively expanding its Bitcoin treasury. It officially made Bitcoin accumulation a core business strategy in December 2024. These purchases are funded through capital market activities, including the issuance of bonds and stock acquisition rights.

Capital Markets Strategy Fuels Bitcoin Accumulation

Metaplanet continues raising capital to support its Bitcoin strategy. The firm has issued multiple stock acquisition rights and zero-coupon bonds to secure funds for purchases. 

On March 18, 2025, the company’s board approved the issuance of the 9th Series of Ordinary Bonds, raising an additional 2 billion yen. These bonds, issued to EVO FUND, will mature on September 17, 2025, and are slated for redemption using proceeds from stock acquisition rights. The funds will be allocated for further Bitcoin accumulation.

This follows previous bond issuances, including the 6th, 7th, and 8th Series of Bonds, which also funded Bitcoin purchases. The company also employs financial metrics such as BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC ¥ Gain to assess its acquisition strategy. These indicators help measure Bitcoin growth relative to share dilution and market conditions.

Stock acquisition rights have been a crucial element of Metaplanet’s funding strategy. Since January 2025, the company has issued several tranches, resulting in millions of new shares being created through their exercise. The most recent 13th and 14th Series of Stock Acquisition Rights generated 20.263 billion yen, significantly contributing to the firm’s Bitcoin holdings.

Aggressive Bitcoin Strategy Amid Market Growth

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings have grown significantly over the past year. From January 1 to March 18, 2025, the company achieved a BTC Yield of 60.8%, following a 309.8% increase in the previous quarter.

As of July 2024, the company held just 161 BTC. By March 2025, that number had surged to 3,200 BTC. The firm’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy aligns with a broader trend of corporate adoption of the cryptocurrency. 

Despite growing institutional interest in Bitcoin in recent months, its price has experienced volatility due to broader economic factors. Bitcoin is currently trading around $83,154, showing a modest 0.2% loss in the past day and a 15% decline over the past month.
