Metaplanet Accelerates Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy
Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin treasury over the past seven weeks. Between April 1 and May 19, 2025, the company increased its holdings by 3,754 BTC. This is nearly double its holding from 4,046 Bitcoin on March 31, 2025.
The accumulation pace has accelerated in May, and the firm has added over 2,000 BTC in less than three weeks. On May 7, Metaplanet held 5,555 Bitcoin, which increased to 6,796 by May 12 and now reached 7,800 BTC level.
This strategy has been funded through a combination of capital market activities and operating income, according to the disclosure document. The company began its Bitcoin Treasury Operations as an official business line on December 18, 2024.
BTC Yield Shows Strong Growth Amid Dilution
Metaplanet uses a performance indicator called “BTC Yield” to assess its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. This metric measures the percentage change in the ratio of total Bitcoin holdings to fully diluted shares outstanding over specific periods.
The company’s BTC Yield has fluctuated across reporting periods:
- July-September 2024: 41.7%
- October-December 2024: 309.8%
- January-March 2025: 95.6%
- April-May 19, 2025: 47.8%
The high yield figures show Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin-per-share ratio despite expanding its share count. Between September 30, 2024, and May 19, 2025, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings grew from 398.83 to 7,800, a 1,856% increase.

Raising Capital via Stock Acquisition Rights

The firm’s average purchase price of its Bitcoin has jumped from 12.80 million yen on April 21 to 13.51 million yen by May 19, 2025.
Metaplanet has been consistently making BTC purchases despite recent price volatility. This aggressive accumulation signals Metaplanet’s unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin-first strategy. As traditional market pressures intensify, the firm positions itself as Japan’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder.
