Japanese company Metaplanet expands treasury and reaches $1,8 billion in Bitcoin
- Metaplanet accumulates over 17 BTC in 2025
- Japanese company protects cash flow against inflation with Bitcoin
- Bitcoin Drives Corporate Value and Outperforms Traditional Businesses
Metaplanet, a company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has strengthened its position in the cryptocurrency market by acquiring 463 more Bitcoins (BTC), adding approximately US$55 million to its reserves. The purchase was made at an average price of approximately US$119.500 per unit.
With this new acquisition, the company now holds a total of 17.595 BTC, acquired at an average price of US$102.800 per coin. The total investment exceeds US$1,8 billion, solidifying Metaplanet as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in Japan and seventh globally.
To measure the performance of its strategy, Metaplanet uses indicators such as BTC Yield, which measures the percentage change in Bitcoin reserves relative to outstanding shares. Between July 1 and August 4, 2025, the company recorded a BTC Yield of 24,6%, reflecting its accelerated accumulation pace.
During the second quarter of 2025, the company reported a BTC Yield of 129,4%, with a BTC Gain of 5.237 BTC, equivalent to approximately US$604 million. These figures highlight Bitcoin's growing relevance in the company's value.
The aggressive cryptocurrency strategy is driven by concerns about global inflation and the continued devaluation of the Japanese yen. Market analysts point out that companies in Japan view Bitcoin as a solid hedge against the loss of purchasing power.
Metaplanet's traditional businesses, such as hospitality and media, currently represent a minimal portion of the company's revenue. In the first quarter of 2025, the company generated revenue of approximately US$6 million—a 943,9% increase year-over-year, driven primarily by Bitcoin-related activities.
Metaplanet's shares exhibit higher volatility than BTC itself, influenced by share issuances, debt financing, and speculation about future purchases. The breakeven point for the investment is in the range of $101.000 per BTC unit, a level considered sensitive to the company's performance.
