Metaplanet, a prominent Bitcoin investment firm based in Japan, has recently made a significant acquisition, increasing its total Bitcoin holdings to over 2,000 BTC. This strategic move has positioned the firm as a key player in the digital asset investment space.
The announcement was made on Feb. 17, where Metaplanet disclosed that it had acquired an additional 269 BTC for ¥4 billion ($26 million), bringing its total holdings to 2,031 BTC valued at $195 million. The firm secured these assets at an average price of ¥12,243,936 ($80,674) per Bitcoin.
Simon Gerovich, the CEO of Metaplanet, expressed his excitement about the recent acquisition, stating, “We have completed the first Bitcoin purchase of 2025. We believe this year will be an important one for our company. After a long break, we are glad to resume acquiring Bitcoin.”
Looking ahead, Metaplanet has ambitious plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings further. The firm aims to hold at least 10,000 BTC by the end of the year and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026. To achieve this goal, Metaplanet plans to raise 116 billion yen ($745 million) by issuing 21 million shares to investors.
In addition to its acquisition strategy, Gerovich highlighted the firm’s impressive BTC yield performance. Since the beginning of the year, Metaplanet has generated a BTC yield of 15.3%, surpassing its quarterly target of 35%. The BTC yield metric reflects the percentage ratio of Bitcoin holdings to fully diluted shares over a specific period.
Gerovich explained, “BTC Yield serves the same role as EPS (Earnings Per Share) for Bitcoin treasury companies. It’s the clearest indicator of how effectively we are increasing BPS (Bitcoin Per Share). Our goal is to accelerate Bitcoin accumulation through effective Bitcoin treasury management, maximize BPS using capital market strategies, and thereby enhance shareholder value.”
Metaplanet’s strategic approach to Bitcoin investment and its focus on maximizing shareholder value through effective treasury management have positioned the firm as a leader in the digital asset investment space. With a clear roadmap for growth and a strong commitment to long-term success, Metaplanet continues to make waves in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
