Strategy made a significant move on Feb. 10 by acquiring an additional 7,633 BTC, bringing its total Bitcoin treasury to 478,740 BTC. This latest purchase has propelled the firm’s unrealized profit to over $17 billion, based on Bitcoin’s current price of $97,405.80.
The company’s year-to-date Bitcoin yield now stands at an impressive 4.1%, showcasing the success of its investment strategy. According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Strategy now holds nearly 12 times more Bitcoin than Marathon Digital, solidifying its position as the largest BTC holder among publicly listed companies.
Meanwhile, Metaplanet has been reaping the rewards of its Bitcoin holdings, with 85% of its 2024 net income attributed to its 1,762 BTC stash. The firm has set ambitious goals to further increase its Bitcoin holdings, aiming to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 25,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
Metaplanet’s transition to a Bitcoin Treasury Company in April 2024 has proven to be a lucrative decision, with its Bitcoin holdings now 14 times higher than its market capitalization at the time of the transition. The company’s innovative approach includes allocating funds to monetize Bitcoin volatility through option strategies, in addition to operating Bitcoin-themed revenue-generating businesses alongside its hotel operations.
The firm reported a net income of ¥6.397 billion for the fiscal year, marking its first operating profit since 2017. Metaplanet’s total assets surged to ¥30,325 million, a remarkable 1,720% increase over the previous fiscal year. The company’s focus on Bitcoin accumulation is evident in its decision to issue bonds to raise funds for acquiring more BTC, with plans to finish 2025 with 10,000 BTC in its treasury.
Metaplanet’s commitment to maximizing BTC per share and sustainable operating profit while expanding its Bitcoin holdings sets it apart in the industry. With a goal of reaching 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026, the firm’s strategic approach to Bitcoin investment is driving significant growth in its metrics and shareholder base.
Overall, both Strategy and Metaplanet are showcasing the potential for significant growth and profitability through strategic Bitcoin investments, positioning themselves as key players in the evolving landscape of digital asset accumulation.
