Metaplanet Adds 797 Bitcoin to Treasury, Achieving 435.9% Yield in 2025

Metaplanet announced Monday it has acquired an additional 797 Bitcoin for approximately $93.6 million at an average price of $117,451 per bitcoin. The purchase brings the Tokyo-listed company's total Bitcoin holdings to 16,352 BTC, acquired for roughly $1.64 billion at an average cost of $100,191 per bitcoin.

CEO Simon Gerovich noted that the company has achieved a Bitcoin yield of 435.9% year-to-date in 2025, reflecting the substantial gains from its aggressive cryptocurrency accumulation strategy. The latest acquisition comes as Bitcoin continues its historic rally, recently breaking through $120,000 to reach new all-time highs.

Metaplanet, which originally operated as a hotel company before pivoting into cryptocurrency, has positioned itself among the top public corporate holders of Bitcoin globally. The company's treasury strategy has transformed it into a de facto Bitcoin investment vehicle, similar to Strategy's approach in the United States.

The timing of the purchase coincides with Bitcoin's surge above $121,000, driven by rising institutional adoption and expectations around favorable U.S. regulatory developments. Strong inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have also provided additional momentum for the cryptocurrency's price appreciation.

Despite the significant Bitcoin acquisition and the cryptocurrency's record-breaking performance, Metaplanet shares traded largely unchanged from last week at 1,555 JPY. The stock's muted response suggests investors may have already priced in the company's continued Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

Metaplanet's substantial Bitcoin holdings make it one of the most exposed publicly traded companies to cryptocurrency price movements outside of the United States.
