Metaplanet’s going all-in on Bitcoin, ramping up holdings from 1,762 to a whopping 5,555 BTC in early 2025. The former hotel developer turned crypto enthusiast dropped $481.5 million on Bitcoin purchases, scoring a 136.7% return. Their latest power move? Issuing $24.8 million in zero-interest bonds maturing October 2025. With an average purchase price of $86,672 per Bitcoin and aggressive acquisition strategy, Metaplanet’s transformation into a digital asset powerhouse is just getting started.
Digital asset powerhouse Metaplanet has been gobbling up Bitcoin like it’s going out of style. The company’s aggressive expansion has pushed its Bitcoin holdings to a whopping 5,555 BTC as of May 7, 2025, quite a leap from the modest 1,762 BTC they held at the start of the year. Talk about a growth spurt. The latest addition of 555 BTC holdings on May 6 demonstrates their continued commitment to expansion.
Their hunger for crypto didn’t come cheap. Metaplanet dropped a cool $481.5 million to acquire 5,000 BTC, averaging $86,672 per coin. But hey, when you’re playing in the big leagues, you’ve got to spend money to make money.
And make money they did – their Bitcoin strategy has yielded an impressive 136.7% return in 2025 alone. The company’s remarkable transformation from a hotel development company showcases their adaptability in the digital asset space. With Bitcoin’s fixed supply cap, the company’s strategy aligns perfectly with the cryptocurrency’s deflationary nature.
To fuel their Bitcoin shopping spree, Metaplanet got creative with their financing. They issued zero-interest bonds worth $24.8 million, set to mature in October 2025. Smart move. They’re also dabbling in stock acquisition rights to beef up their treasury, because why put all your eggs in one basket?
The numbers tell quite a story. Their first-quarter BTC yield hit 95.6%, with a year-to-date yield of 6% by April 2025. Not too shabby for a company that’s been methodically expanding its crypto footprint.
Their latest purchases include 696 BTC for 10.2 billion yen and another 330 BTC for $28.2 million.
Metaplanet’s bold moves haven’t gone unnoticed in the digital asset market. Their aggressive acquisition strategy has turned heads and influenced market sentiment around Bitcoin adoption. They’re not just buying crypto – they’re making waves.
The company tracks its success using BTC Yield, measuring bitcoin holding growth against outstanding shares. It’s a no-nonsense approach to proving their strategy works.
And work it has. Through strategic capital market activities and careful financial maneuvering, Metaplanet has positioned itself as a serious player in the Bitcoin market. Not bad for a company that started 2025 with just 1,762 BTC in its pocket.
