Metaplanet Inc. has made its latest purchase of bitcoin (BTC), adding 319 coins to its treasury at an average price of $83,147 per coin. This move brings the company’s total BTC holdings to 4,525, with an aggregate cost basis of $408.1 million and an average acquisition price of $90,194.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that allows for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries.
Created in 2009 by an individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin operates on a blockchain network.
This secure and transparent system enables fast and low-cost transactions.
With its limited supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin's value has fluctuated significantly over the years, making it a popular investment option.
As of 2022, Bitcoin is accepted by thousands of merchants worldwide.
The latest purchase is part of Metaplanet‘s broader bitcoin treasury operations strategy, launched in December 2024, aimed at using digital assets to enhance shareholder value. The company evaluates its performance through BTC Yield, a measure of bitcoin holding growth relative to share outstanding. For Q1 2025, its BTC yield reached 95.6%, with a year-to-date figure of 6.5% as of April 14.
The acquisitions are supported by dynamic capital market activity, including bond issuances and stock acquisition rights, enabling Metaplanet to raise substantial funds while minimizing dilution. In total, approximately 41.7% of the company’s ‘210 million plan’ has been executed. This strategic expansion is part of a larger effort to diversify its treasury holdings and increase its exposure to digital assets.
