Metaplanet Inc. Boosts Bitcoin Holdings with 145 BTC Acquisition, Reaches 5,000 BTC Total

Metaplanet Inc. has further expanded its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 145 BTC, bringing its total to 5,000 BTC as part of its ongoing Bitcoin Treasury Operations, according to a recent regulatory filing.

The firm disclosed that the acquisition of the 145 BTC cost ¥1.9 billion (approximately $13.4 million). As a result, the average purchase price of Metaplanet’s entire Bitcoin portfolio now stands at ¥12.8 million per BTC (around $89,000).

With this latest purchase, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich shared in an X post that the company has now achieved 50% of its goal to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, marking a significant milestone in its strategy.

Additionally, Metaplanet’s key performance metric, BTC Yield, has experienced impressive growth in recent quarters, reaching 13.0% as of April 24. The Tokyo-based firm also revealed the full exercise of its 14th Series Stock Acquisition Rights and a partial early redemption of its 11th Series Bonds, further underscoring its ongoing financial initiatives per the filing.

In the first quarter of this year, Metaplanet acquired 696 BTC through its Bitcoin Income Generation program, which focuses on selling cash-secured Bitcoin put options, enhancing its position in the market. Metaplanet’s latest Bitcoin purchase follows a ¥2 billion raise through its 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds, with the entire amount allocated to its EVO FUND for more Bitcoin acquisitions. This aggressive accumulation strategy has paid off, with Metaplanet’s stock soaring by over 3,000% since the firm began acquiring Bitcoin. Metaplanet aims to hold 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026, demonstrating its commitment to building a substantial Bitcoin treasury.

Meanwhile, Metaplanet has made significant progress in its Bitcoin Treasury Operation by acquiring an additional 162 BTC at an average price of 12.39 million yen (approximately 83,635 yen) per Bitcoin. This purchase brings the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 3,050 BTC, valued at nearly $250 million, pushing its Bitcoin Treasury past the 3,000 BTC mark.
