Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin holdings by purchasing 2,205 BTC, bringing its total to 15,555 BTC. This acquisition makes Metaplanet the fifth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. CEO Simon Gerovich announced the purchase, which cost $238.7 million at an average price of $108,237 per Bitcoin.
The company's total Bitcoin investment stands at approximately $1.54 billion, with an average price of $99,307 per BTC. Metaplanet uses a metric called BTC Yield to measure the value generated per share over time, reporting an impressive 416.6% yield in 2025.
This purchase is part of Metaplanet's aggressive strategy, following recent acquisitions of 1,234 BTC for $133 million, 1,111 BTC for $118 million, and 1,112 BTC for $117 million in June. With its current holdings, Metaplanet has surpassed companies like Cleanspark Inc. and Galaxy Digital, aiming to double its Bitcoin reserves to 30,000 BTC by year-end and reach 210,000 BTC by 2027 — roughly 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
In a related development, The Blockchain Group, Europe’s first Bitcoin treasury company, acquired 116 BTC for $12.6 million on July 7, increasing its total holdings to 1,904 BTC with a year-to-date BTC Yield of 1,348.8%.
Metaplanet's stock has experienced modest gains after the announcement, trading at ¥1,568 per share — a 1.49% increase in the past 24 hours and a remarkable 1,854% rise over the past year. The company finances its Bitcoin purchases mainly through stock and bond issuances, including $210 million in zero-coupon straight bonds issued on June 16 and a $190 million release of ordinary bonds later that month. It also redeemed and repaid $281 million worth of series bonds earlier in June using proceeds from stock acquisition rights.
