Metaplanet Strengthens Bitcoin Holdings with $12.8M Purchase

• The long-term treasury strategy of Metaplanet resulted in its Bitcoin holdings reaching 2,235 BTC through the purchase of 135 Bitcoin worth $12.8 million.
• Metaplanet experienced a stock price rise of more than 3000% since April 2024 as a result of its Bitcoin strategy combined with financial business activities.
• Metaplanet initiated a 10-to-1 stock split in April to improve its market liquidity while drawing in more investors since it continues expanding its Bitcoin treasury.

Metaplanet bolstered its Bitcoin position through the acquisition of 135 Bitcoin worth 1.939 billion yen which translated to $12.8 million. Through this acquisition, the company now holds 2,235 Bitcoin units with an average cost of 12.44 million yen ($82,000) per token. The Japanese firm increased its cryptocurrency treasury through Bitcoin Treasury Operations by conducting consistent investments since its initial launch.

Strategic Growth Amid Rising Stock Performance

The company follows a strategy similar to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. As Metaplanet continues to acquire Bitcoin, its BTC yield per share has increased significantly, recording a 309.8% growth in Q4 2024. However, the growth rate slowed to 23.2% in early 2025 due to an increase in the number of shares issued.

The company has made moves in capital markets to fund its Bitcoin acquisition purchases. The company distributed 21 million stock acquisition rights to EVO FUND in January under the management of Evolution Capital Management. In February the company completed the redemption of bonds valued at 4 billion yen which equated to $26.5 million. Metaplanet strengthens its Bitcoin reserves by implementing varied financial approaches to increase its Bitcoin holdings.

Stock Price Surge and Upcoming Stock Split

The Japanese market identifies Metaplanet as the leading stock performer since the company launched its Bitcoin purchase strategy in April 2024 with over 3,000% growth. Metaplanet introduced a stock split that increases company stock availability by 10 times starting from April 1, 2025.

The corporate adoption of a reverse stock split in August 2024 led to the combination of ten shares into a single share. The division of stock is expected to increase investor participation as the current price exceeds 6,000 yen.

Through its strategic approach, Metaplanet demonstrates Japan’s innovative position regarding Bitcoin adoption thus leading the way for businesses to adopt cryptocurrency into their financial operations. The company uses market activities together with increased liquidity to maintain its status as Japan’s leading corporate Bitcoin holder.
