Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet has achieved a BTC Yield of 108.3% year-to-date in 2025.
Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, stated in a post on April 14 on X that the company currently possesses 4,525 Bitcoins, which are valued at approximately $386.3 million and have an average cost of approximately $85,366 per coin.
Metaplanet made the news after it had just acquired 319 Bitcoins for a total of around ¥3.78 billion, which is equivalent to $26.3 million. These Bitcoins were obtained at an average price of ¥11.85 million, which is approximately $82,549 per Bitcoin.
BTC Yield is a metric that quantifies the increase of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings in relation to its fully diluted share count. Metaplanet uses this indicator to track the efficiency of its treasury strategy. Previously, Crypto.news revealed that the metric jumped by 309.8% during the fourth quarter of 2024 and 95.6% during the first quarter of 2025.
Within the first few days of this month, the Tokyo-listed company added 160 Bitcoin to its treasury at a cost of approximately $13.4 million. By the end of the year 2025, Metaplanet intends to have accumulated more than 10,000 BTC, and by the year 2026, they want to have reached 21,000 BTC.
To back up this aggressive strategy, Metaplanet has been generating capital through a combination of equity and debt, including a series of zero-coupon bond issuances and stock acquisition rights with EVO FUND. This funding has allowed the company to support its aggressive strategy.
As part of its “210 Million Plan,” the company has distributed 21 million shares in five different tranches since the beginning of the year. The most recent event that occurred was the exercise of 8.6 million and 4.2 million shares, respectively, under its 14th and 17th stock rights series.
These actions resulted in the funding of more than ¥35 billion to date, which is equivalent to approximately 42% of the target issuance of 21 million shares. The company has successfully executed early redemptions on several bond tranches, including its 9th Series, which it completely repaid ahead of schedule.
Initially scheduled to mature in September 2025, the ¥2 billion issuance was redeemed by EVO FUND through the utilization of the money obtained from the exercise of the 13th to 17th stock rights series.
On the 31st of March, the company made an announcement regarding its intention to raise ¥2 billion ($13.3 million) by means of its 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds.This information comes from Bitcoin Treasuries, which indicates that Metaplanet is currently the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the Asian region.
With 528,185 Bitcoins worth around $44.5 billion in its holdings, the United States-based company Strategy continues to be the greatest corporate holder of the flagship cryptocurrency on a global scale.
On the other hand, the company has lately informed its shareholders that it may be required to sell a portion of its Bitcoin stockpile to fulfill its financial obligations in the event that it is unable to acquire new financing.
