Japanese Investment Giant Metaplanet Goes All-In on Bitcoin, Snags 1,088 More BTC!

Holy crypto craze, Batman! The Japanese investment powerhouse Metaplanet is not playing around. They've just pumped another $117.7 million into Bitcoin, snagging 1,088 BTC at an average price of $108,209 on June 2. These Tokyo trailblazers are now sitting pretty with a total of 8,888 BTC, valued at a staggering $851 million at the time of purchase. Talk about a power move!

And guess what? With this latest acquisition, Metaplanet has rocketed up the ranks to become the 10th largest corporate Bitcoin holder out there. But let's keep it real, they've still got a long way to go if they want to catch up with Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, which is chilling at the top with a mind-blowing 580,250 BTC. No small feat, but hey, who doesn't love a good challenge?

As for Bitcoin itself, it's been flexing its muscles lately. At the time of this report, BTC is up 0.4% in the last 24 hours, trading at $104,848. That's about $4,600 shy of what Metaplanet paid, but hey, that's crypto for you—always keeping you on your toes. The 24-hour peak hit $105,804, so it's not all bad news.

The king of crypto has now amassed a market cap of $2 trillion and a daily trading volume of $18.6 billion. And get this—today's trading volume has surged 15.3% from yesterday. The market's heating up, people!

Metaplanet's Bitcoin Yields: The Numbers Don't Lie

But wait, there's more! Alongside their latest BTC haul, Metaplanet dropped some juicy updates on their BTC Yield metric. This bad boy calculates the period-over-period percentage ratio between their Bitcoin holdings and fully diluted shares outstanding. It's like crypto math, but way cooler.

In 2025, the first quarter was the golden era for Metaplanet's BTC Yield, soaring to 95.6% from January 1 to March 31. But let's not forget, at the end of 2024, they were absolutely crushing it with a whopping 309.8% yield. From April 1 to June 2, though, it took a bit of a dip to 66.3%. But who's counting, right?

And in the latest twist, Metaplanet issued a massive set of 0% ordinary bonds to the venture capital gurus at EVO FUND, worth a cool $50 million. And you know what they're planning to do with that cash? You guessed it—more Bitcoin! It's like a never-ending crypto love story.
