- Metaplanet’s $117.3M Bitcoin buy boosts its holdings to 8,888 BTC, marking 88.9% progress toward its 2025 target of 10,000 BTC.
- Backed by zero-coupon bond funding, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin strategy delivers a 225.4% YTD ROI and surges its stock by over 214% in 2025.
- While Metaplanet embraces Bitcoin, Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected BTC adoption despite inflation hedge arguments.
Metaplanet Inc., the Japanese investment firm, has ramped up its Bitcoin accumulation strategy with a fresh 1,088 BTC purchase. The firm revealed the buy on June 2 via X, bringing total holdings to 8,888 BTC. This latest acquisition, worth $117.3 million, marks a strategic step toward its 2025 goal of 10,000 BTC. At an average buy price of $107,771 per coin, Metaplanet has now allocated roughly $829.7 million into Bitcoin. With BTC prices hovering above $105,000, the value of its stash has swelled to $930 million.
Besides, Metaplanet’s recent zero-coupon bond offerings have been crucial to funding this aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. The firm recently raised $50 million through no-interest bonds, followed by another $21 million. These moves reinforce the firm’s Bitcoin-centric balance sheet strategy. CEO Simon Gerovich emphasized that volatility is not a flaw in Bitcoin. Instead, he described it as energy that powers the firm’s growth engine.
Stock Performance Reflects Market Confidence
Consequently, Metaplanet’s stock (3350.T) surged 2.62% to 1,095 yen following the announcement. Yahoo Finance reports a 155% monthly gain and a 214% rise year-to-date. The company’s bullish positioning has outperformed traditional assets and reflects investor confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term upside. Additionally, Metaplanet’s BTC investment has yielded a 225.4% return in 2025 alone.
Moreover, the Bitcoin yield from previous quarters supports the firm’s aggressive approach. Returns hit 309.8% in Q4 2024 and 95.6% in Q1 2025. As of Q2 2025, the yield stands at 66.3%, showcasing strong ongoing performance.
Meta Rejects Bitcoin Strategy Proposal
However, not all corporations share Metaplanet’s crypto enthusiasm. Meta shareholders recently rejected a proposal to assess Bitcoin adoption. Only 0.08% supported the plan, while over 5 billion votes opposed it. CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who controls 61% of the votes, likely voted against the move.
Ethan Peck, a Bitcoin advocate, submitted the proposal urging Meta to hedge inflation with BTC. He argued that 28% of Meta’s assets lose value due to inflation. Despite BlackRock advising a 2% allocation, the proposal failed. Meanwhile, similar motions for Microsoft and Amazon also faced shareholder resistance.
