Metaplanet Goes All-In on Bitcoin: Snags 330 More Coins, Eyes 1% of Total Supply

Japanese Firm's Aggressive Crypto Strategy Pays Off

Holy Bitcoin, Batman! Japanese investment powerhouse Metaplanet just upped its crypto game, snagging an additional 330 Bitcoins. That's right, folks, their total stash now stands at a whopping 4,855 BTC. These guys aren't messing around!

Get this: according to their Apr. 21 reveal, they scored these latest coins at an average of ¥12.18 million each, which is about $85,605 in USD. We're talking a cool ¥4.02 billion, or roughly $26 million, dropped on this single buy. And their entire Bitcoin hoard? It's now valued at a mind-blowing ¥62.17 billion, or $414 million, with an average buy-in of ¥12.8 million ($85,386) per coin. Cha-ching!

But how do they keep tabs on their performance? Enter the BTC Yield, a slick metric that shows how much Bitcoin they've got per fully diluted share. This quarter, they're sitting pretty at a 12.1% Bitcoin Yield. But hold onto your hats, because the last three quarters were even wilder: 41.7% in Q3 2024, a jaw-dropping 309.8% in Q4, and a solid 95.6% in Q1 2025. These guys are on fire!

Metaplanet's Bitcoin obsession is backed by some serious financial wizardry, including zero-coupon bonds and stock acquisition rights. By April 2025, they'd already knocked out over 40% of their "210 Million Plan," a fundraising extravaganza tied to issuing 0% discount stock rights to EVO FUND.

And get this: they've raked in over ¥35 billion (that's $226 million, folks) from this plan, and every single yen has gone straight into buying more Bitcoin. Just on Apr. 16, they pulled in another $10 million through zero-interest bond issuance, and you know where that's headed—more Bitcoin!

Metaplanet's not just playing around; they're dead set on hitting a ¥3.0 billion (about $27.5 million) profit from their Bitcoin program this year. That's a big chunk of their total revenue target of ¥3.4 billion ($31.3 million) for the whole year. These guys mean business!

As the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder in all of Asia, Metaplanet's been on a tear since they kicked off their Bitcoin accumulation strategy in 2024. And they're not stopping anytime soon—they're gunning for 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025 and a staggering 21,000 by 2026. That's right, they want a full 1% of the total Bitcoin supply. Buckle up, crypto world, because Metaplanet is coming for you!
