• Metaplanet has announced the acquisition of an additional 145 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 5,000 BTC.
• In April alone, the firm purchased over 1,650 BTC, valued at approximately $153 million.

Metaplanet Inc., a publicly listed investment firm on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has crossed a significant threshold in its long-term Bitcoin strategy. The company has acquired an additional 145 Bitcoins, pushing its total holdings to an impressive 5,000 BTC

This move places Metaplanet at the 50% mark of its plan to accumulate 10,000 Bitcoins by the close of 2025. The latest acquisition, announced by the company, was made at an average price of 13,280,472 yen, approximately $93,327 per BTC. The total investment amounted to roughly $13.6 million

According to Metaplanet’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, this purchase marks a major step in the firm’s objective to become one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders. He stated:

“We have reached 50% of our initial goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. This is a big step forward in our aim to become one of the world’s leading bitcoin holding companies. We will lead the global bitcoin race from Japan.”

April Buying Spree of Metaplanet

April 2025 has been particularly active for Metaplanet. The firm has bought around 1,650 BTC in five transactions, bringing close to $153 million of BTC into its treasury

These aggressive acquisitions underscore the company’s confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term asset. Since launching its Bitcoin strategy in mid-2024, Metaplanet has secured close to $745 million in funding

Yield Performance and Future Targets

Significantly, from January 1 to March 31, 2025, the firm earned a Bitcoin yield of 95.6%. For the current quarter, covering April 1 through April 24, the firm has reported a yield of 13.0%, highlighting continued performance despite market fluctuations.

Looking beyond 2025, Metaplanet has already set its sights on a broader target. Under its 21 Million Plan, the firm aims to accumulate a total of 21,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2026. The plan emphasises smaller, incremental purchases to avoid overpaying and to reduce shareholder dilution.

Notably, Bitcoin has crossed over the $90K mark following the recent recovery attempt. At press time, BTC has lost 1.11%, trading around $92,633. The asset’s trading volume has plunged by over 37%, reaching $37.48 billion.
