Metaplanet boosts Bitcoin assets to $1.85 billion following acquisition of additional 518 bitcoins
Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings to Nearly 19,000 Coins
Metaplanet, a leading Asian company, has announced the purchase of 775 Bitcoin for approximately $93 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 18,888 coins. This latest acquisition, made at an average price of around $120,000 per coin, represents a cumulative investment of nearly $1.94 billion.
The purchase, which is part of a systematic, ongoing strategy, marks the company's 20th separate acquisition since July 2024. Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings have grown significantly from under 200 coins, demonstrating a commitment to scaling Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
The average price paid for the latest purchase was approximately ¥17.72 million ($120,000) per coin, indicating a disciplined pricing approach in a fluctuating market. As a result, the estimated market value of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin reserve is about $2.17 billion, reflecting a positive unrealized gain of around 12% over its purchase cost.
Metaplanet's Bitcoin yield, a supplemental indicator used to track the efficiency of Bitcoin acquisitions, stood at approximately 29.3% most recently, although down from previous peaks. The company has financed its Bitcoin acquisitions through capital market activities, including equity issuances and bond redemptions, as well as operating income since late 2024.
The company's strategy is reminiscent of MicroStrategy's, with both firms known for their aggressive Bitcoin treasury accumulation. Metaplanet's approach underscores growing institutional interest in Asia for using Bitcoin as a treasury asset amidst improving regulatory clarity.
Here's a summary of the key details:
| Aspect | Details | |-----------------------------|------------------------------------| | Recent purchase | 775 BTC for ~$93 million | | Average price per BTC (latest purchase) | ~$120,006 | | Total holdings | 18,888 BTC | | Cumulative investment | ~$1.94 billion | | Average cost per BTC overall | ~$102,653 | | Market value (approx.) | $2.17 billion | | Bitcoin yield (recent) | ~29.3% (down from 129.4% peak) |

As of August 18, 2025, the BTC Gain for the current quarter to date is 3,549 BTC, and the Bitcoin Yield for Q3 2025 to date stands at 26.5%. Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings position it among the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries globally.
