Metaplanet has added 135 bitcoins to its treasure, strengthening its position as one of Japan’s most active corporate bitcoin investors.
On 25 February, the company announced the purchase of 1.939 billion yen ($ 12.8 million), making its total bitcoin (BTC) holdings 2,235 BTC per 12.44 million yen ($ 82,000) at 2,235 BTC at an average price of 12.44 million yen ($ 82,000).
Like the strategy (earlier a microstrate), the owner of the largest corporate bitcoin tragedy, Metaplanet has been slowly increasing its holding since launching its bitcoin treasury operations.
The company’s BTC yield, which measures the amount of bitcoin per share, increased by 309.8% in Q4 2024. It slowed down by 23.2% in early 2025 as Metaplanet has increased its number of shares.
Metaplanet has continued to take advantage of capital market activities to finance its bitcoin purchases. In January, Metaplanet offered 21 million stock acquisition rights for EVO funds, which were managed by development capital management, followed by an early bond redemption of 4 billion yen ($ 26.5 million) in February.
Since it began buying bitcoins in April 2024, Metaplanet’s share price increased by more than 3000%, making it the best performing stock in Japan. On 18 February, the company announced a 10 -to -1 stock split, which will be effective on 1 April, so that the shares can be made more accessible.
The initiative comes after a pre -reverse stock division in August 2024 with ten shares added to one. Now that the stock is above 6000 yen per share, the company is once again dividing shares to increase liquidity and attract new investors.
Metaplanet’s strategy can provide a template for other businesses that are looking to include bitcoins in their balance sheet, with Japan’s progressive ideas on cryptocurrency.
