Tokyo-based Metaplanet Inc., regarded as Japan’s foremost corporate Bitcoin holder, has acquired 1,234 more Bitcoin in a recent acquisition valued at ¥19.27 billion. 

The average purchase price was approximately ¥15.6 million per Bitcoin, raising the company’s total holdings to 12,345 Bitcoin.

This latest acquisition supports Metaplanet’s new “555 Million Plan,” which aims to accumulate 210,000 Bitcoin, representing 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply, by the close of 2027. 

The updated strategy replaces its former “21 Million Plan,” which had targeted 21,000 Bitcoin by 2026.

The firm’s proprietary performance metric, BTC Yield, has seen substantial growth, rising from 41.7% in Q3 2024 to 112.2% so far this quarter. 

This reflects a gain of 4,538 Bitcoin and an unrealized appreciation of ¥71.2 billion, underscoring the firm’s successful allocation strategy.

Metaplanet has funded its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition primarily through capital markets. 

Since the start of 2025, it has raised over ¥90 billion and $121 million via a series of zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing bonds, all of which have been fully repaid ahead of schedule using proceeds from exercised stock acquisition rights tied to the now-concluded “210 Million Plan.”

In a June 25th statement, the company confirmed the early redemption of its 16th, 17th, and 18th series bonds issued to EVO FUND.

As of June 26th, 2025, the company has expanded its share count to more than 654.7 million. 

This reflects its continued use of equity issuance to convert capital directly into Bitcoin as it advances toward its goal of becoming a major institutional holder.
