Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Treasury to 4,525 BTC, Joining the World’s Top 10 Public Holders
Tokyo, Japan – Crypto Insight Daily – Japanese technology company Metaplanet Inc. (3350) has announced the acquisition of 319 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $83,147/BTC, bringing the company’s total holdings to 4,525 BTC. The move not only strengthens the company’s digital asset treasury strategy, but also puts Metaplanet among the top 10 publicly listed companies with the largest Bitcoin holdings in the world.
Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Accelerates
With a total accumulated cost of approximately $408.1 million, Metaplanet’s current average purchase price is $90,194/BTC. The continuous purchases since December 2024, when the company began implementing a Bitcoin holding strategy as part of its long-term shareholder value creation plan, demonstrate a clear long-term vision from management.
In less than a year, Metaplanet's holdings have grown from 141 BTC in June 2024 to 4,525 BTC today – an impressive accumulation rate for a publicly traded crypto company.
10,000 BTC target by the end of 2025
Metaplanet makes no secret of its ambitions: it aims to hold 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026 – a symbolic number tied to Bitcoin's maximum total supply. This strategy is positioned as part of its "210 Million Plan", which is currently 41.7% complete.
Smart Financing, Minimal Dilution
The company has financed acquisitions through capital market instruments such as bonds and stock options, allowing it to raise large amounts of capital without significantly diluting existing shareholders.
BTC Yield Metric – Measuring Performance by a New Standard
Metaplanet has also developed its own performance metric: BTC Yield – which shows the growth rate of Bitcoin held per outstanding share. In Q1/2025, the metric reached 95.6%, and 6.5% year-to-date as of April 14 – reflecting the growth of the intrinsic value of the stock alongside the digital asset.
Long-term vision amid volatile markets
As more global companies see Bitcoin not just as a speculative asset but as a strategic reserve asset, Metaplanet is emerging as an Asian model for how businesses can use digital assets to optimize their capital structure and increase shareholder value.
Becoming a top 10 public Bitcoin holder also solidifies Metaplanet’s position in the global investment community – and marks a clear shift in Japan’s corporate-level adoption of digital assets.
