Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings to Over 4,500 BTC
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin reserves once again, adding 319 BTC to its balance sheet in a move that reinforces its aggressive crypto strategy.
The company now holds a total of 4,525 BTC, placing it among the top ten public firms globally in terms of Bitcoin ownership.
The latest purchase was made at an average price of $83,147 per Bitcoin. While markets remain shaky amid growing trade tensions worldwide, Metaplanet is doubling down on its belief in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
This continued accumulation follows a strategic shift initiated in late 2024, when the firm launched a dedicated Bitcoin Treasury Operations plan aimed at strengthening shareholder value through crypto exposure.

The Tokyo-listed company tracks its performance through a metric called “BTC Yield,” which measures the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings relative to the company’s fully diluted shares. Between October and the end of December 2024, that figure surged by nearly 310%. For the first quarter of 2025, it settled at 95.6%, with a modest rise of 6.5% reported so far in April.
Metaplanet also reports a “BTC Gain” figure — a theoretical estimate of how much Bitcoin the company would have earned if no new shares had been issued. For the first two weeks of April, that metric came in at 263 BTC, down from 1,684 BTC in the previous quarter. Despite the lower gain, the company appears committed to maintaining its Bitcoin-forward strategy.
