Metaplanet Inc. has aggressively expanded its Bitcoin holdings, securing 856 BTC in two major transactions. On April 2, the company acquired 160 BTC at an average price of $83,600 per coin, investing $13.4 million. A day earlier, Metaplanet purchased 696 BTC using funds raised from selling cash-secured put options. This strategy aligns with its commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury asset. The firm continues leveraging traditional financial instruments, including bonds and equity-linked products, to strengthen its Bitcoin reserves.
Metaplanet’s Stock Activity and Bitcoin Acquisition
The company’s financial maneuvers extend beyond crypto purchases. On April 3, Metaplanet released an official notice detailing the exercise of its 17th Series Stock Acquisition Rights. Issued to EVO FUND on February 17, these rights resulted in the delivery of 6,498,000 shares since April 1. This represents 15.47% of the total 42,000 issued rights. Consequently, unexercised rights declined from 35,998 to 29,500, equivalent to 29.5 million potential shares.
Moreover, a recent 10-for-1 stock split, effective April 1, influenced share activity. Investors exercised 3,398,000 shares on April 1 at 401 JPY and 3,100,000 shares on April 2 at 409 JPY. These transactions contribute to the firm’s evolving financial structure while fueling its Bitcoin acquisitions.
Bitcoin Strategy Strengthens Financial Performance
Metaplanet’s innovative approach includes selling cash-secured BTC put options to generate income. This strategy, implemented in early Q1 when Bitcoin surpassed $100,000, allowed the firm to profit from market fluctuations. Additionally, its Bitcoin Income Generation business reported an 11% increase in operating revenue, reaching 770.31 million yen in Q1 2025.
The company’s Bitcoin-driven approach is proving effective. Already, its Q1 revenue has covered 25.7% of its 2025 target of 3.0 billion yen from BTC-related operations. As a result, Metaplanet remains on track to achieve its projected 3.4 billion yen total revenue for the year.
Besides financial success, Metaplanet now ranks as the ninth-largest public Bitcoin holder, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data. With corporate confidence in Bitcoin rising, the company’s strategic investment reinforces the growing role of digital assets in financial markets. Consequently, Metaplanet solidifies its presence as a leading institutional Bitcoin investor.
