Metaplanet, a Japan-based publicly traded firm, has announced the acquisition of an additional 497 bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $43.9 million. The latest purchase, made at an average price of $88,448 per BTC, brings the company’s total bitcoin holdings to 2,888 BTC.
According to Metaplanet’s latest update, its year-to-date (YTD) Bitcoin yield stands at 45.1%, exceeding its 2025 quarterly target of 35%.
In addition, the company has allocated a total of $240.2 million towards its BTC reserves at an average acquisition price of $83,172 per BTC.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Holdings Surge
In a follow-up update, Simon Gerovich,CEO of Metaplanet, revealed that the firm has seen a significant increase in BTC holdings over the past month. Notably, the company’s holdings have grown by 1,126 BTC in the last 30 days, with 653 BTC added in the past week alone.
The total value of Metaplanet’s BTC treasury now exceeds $252 million. Moreover, this recent purchase brings Gerovich’s goal of a 10,000 btc treasury by the end of 2025 to about 29% achieved.
Metaplanet’s accelerated bitcoin accumulation aligns with its broader strategy of strengthening its balance sheet through digital asset reserves. This approach mirrors that of other corporate Bitcoin adopters, such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which has similarly pursued aggressive BTC acquisitions.

Strategic Bitcoin Yield Performance
The company’s Bitcoin yield—defined as the percentage increase in BTC holdings relative to total outstanding shares—has become a key performance metric. With a Q1 2025 yield of 45.1%, Metaplanet has outperformed its set target of 35% per quarter.
Meanwhile, historical data from the firm’s CEO indicates a sharp increase in BTC yield since Q3 2024, which stood at 41.7%, followed by a surge to 309.8% in Q4 2024.
Industry Impact and Future Outlook
Metaplanet’s aggressive BTC accumulation strategy reflects a growing trend among firms seeking to hedge against inflation and diversify treasury assets. The firm’s ongoing commitment to maximizing Bitcoin reserves suggests continued acquisitions in the coming months.
Market analysts note that the company’s approach could set a precedent for other firms in Japan and beyond, potentially accelerating corporate Bitcoin adoption.
With Bitcoin’s market dynamics evolving, the company’s long-term positioning will depend on factors such as regulatory developments, BTC price volatility, and broader market adoption.
