Metaplanet has acquired an additional 330 BTC in April 2025, bringing its total holdings to 4,855 BTC valued at over $423 million, making it one of the top ten public Bitcoin holders globally.
The latest purchase cost approximately 4.02 billion yen ($26.6 million) at an average price of 12,181,570 yen per Bitcoin and marks Metaplanet’s third acquisition in April 2025 alone.
Metaplanet funds these acquisitions through capital markets and operating income to enhance shareholder value through Bitcoin exposure.
The company employs metrics such as BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC � Gain to transparently measure the financial impact of its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. For April 2025 to date, Metaplanet reported a BTC Yield of 12.1%, following a 95.6% yield in the previous quarter.
These metrics offer insight into Bitcoin accretion net of share dilution and quantify the hypothetical increase in Bitcoin holdings and their yen-equivalent value, promoting transparency for shareholders monitoring the company’s Bitcoin strategy.
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin purchasing has placed it among the world’s top ten public Bitcoin holders, reaching this milestone earlier in April 2025 despite broader global market challenges.
Other Japanese companies, like ANAP Holdings, are also increasing their Bitcoin investments, signaling growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency in Japan. ANAP Holdings recently acquired over 16 BTC via its subsidiary, ANAP Lightning Capital, citing the global trend of Bitcoin becoming an irreversible reserve asset.
