Metaplanet's CEO Drops Bombshell: 4,525 BTC in the Bag!

In a jaw-dropping X post on April 14, Metaplanet's fearless leader Simon Gerovich revealed that the company is now sitting pretty on a whopping 4,525 BTC. We're talking about a cool $386.3 million at an average cost of around $85,366 per coin. Cha-ching!

BTC Yield: The Secret Sauce Behind Metaplanet's Success

So, how do they keep track of their epic gains? It's all about the BTC Yield, baby! This bad boy measures the growth of their Bitcoin stash relative to their fully diluted share count. And let me tell you, it's been exploding! We're talking a mind-blowing 309.8% surge in Q4 2024 and a solid 95.6% jump in Q1 2025. That's how you do it!

Metaplanet's Ambitious Bitcoin Hoarding Plan

But Metaplanet isn't stopping there. Earlier this month, they added another 160 BTC to their ever-growing treasury, dropping $13.4 million like it's nothing. And get this: they're aiming to accumulate over 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and a mind-boggling 21,000 BTC by 2026. These guys are playing for keeps!

Funding the Bitcoin Dream: Equity, Debt, and Everything in Between

To fuel this aggressive strategy, Metaplanet is pulling out all the stops. They're raising funds through a mix of equity and debt, including a series of zero-coupon bond issuances and stock acquisition rights with EVO FUND. Since January, they've issued a whopping 21 million shares across five tranches under their "210 Million Plan." Talk about going big or going home!

And they're not slowing down. Just recently, they exercised 8.6 million and 4.2 million shares under their 14th and 17th stock rights series, raking in over ¥35 billion to date. That's a solid 42% of their planned 21 million share issuance. These guys are on a mission!

Early Redemptions and More Bond Issuances

But wait, there's more! Metaplanet has been crushing it with early redemptions on several bond tranches, including their 9th Series, which they fully repaid ahead of schedule. Originally set to mature in September 2025, they used the proceeds from EVO FUND's exercise of the 13th to 17th stock rights series to redeem that ¥2 billion issuance. Talk about financial wizardry!

And they're not done yet. Last month, they announced plans to raise another ¥2 billion ($13.3 million) through their 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds issued on March 31. These guys are unstoppable!

Metaplanet: Asia's Bitcoin King

According to the latest data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Metaplanet is now the undisputed king of corporate Bitcoin holders in Asia. Move over, everyone else!

Global Competition: Strategy's Massive Bitcoin Stash

But it's not just Asia where the action is. Globally, U.S.-based Strategy is still the heavyweight champion of corporate Bitcoin holders, with a mind-blowing 528,185 BTC worth approximately $44.5 billion in their stash. That's some serious crypto muscle!

However, even the mighty Strategy isn't immune to the challenges of the crypto world. They recently had to warn shareholders that they might have to sell part of their Bitcoin stash to meet financial obligations if they can't raise fresh capital. It's a wild world out there, folks!
