On May 12, 2025, the firm disclosed in a public filing that it acquired Bitcoin for about $119 million.

At this point, the company’s Bitcoin holdings are worth $583 million, or about ¥90.1 billion.Significantly, Metaplanet’s Bitcoin investment activity is overseen by a key company strategy. The company’s goal is to promote shareholder value by utilizing its BTC Yield figure. BTC Yield refers to the percentage increase in Bitcoin held by each fully diluted share. Between January and March of last year, the BTC Yield for the company was 95.6%. By the end of April, Metaplanet has booked further Bitcoin Yield growth of 38%.On May 9, Metaplanet announced it would be issuing $21.25 million of bonds aside from its Bitcoin purchases. All of the proceeds from the bond issue are slated to be used for purchasing additional Bitcoin. The company’s use of the proceeds highlights its solid confidence in Bitcoin as an important digital asset.Metaplanet is releasing bonds called “0% Ordinary Bonds.” These instruments are not structured to give bondholders regular interest earnings. Rather, the bonds are available at a reduced rate and need to be settled at their face value when the maturity date comes. As a result, Metaplanet can raise new funds without the requirement to pay interest afterward. The company has added a clause to the bonds that makes it possible for holders to settle their bonds early, with the condition that the company is informed before that time.Metaplanet Builds Strong Crypto Position Through Smart MovesTo support its Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet has actively been dealing in both bonds and stock acquisition rights. This bold strategy has garnered attention (and comparison) to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Although Strategy now controls over 80 times more Bitcoin than Metaplanet, the latter appears to be increasing in value at a greater rate because of increasing BTC Yield and sound investment strategies.Earlier this month, on May 7, Metaplanet made headlines after purchasing 555 more Bitcoins. This earlier purchase cost about $54.4 million total. The company had to pay on average $96,134 per coin in that purchase.Overall, the strategy of subsequent growth in the Bitcoin ownership of Metaplanet is evidence of a positive attitude to the future of digital assets. By strategic purchasing, innovative financing and aggressive growth posture, the company is fast establishing a powerful position in the crypto market. Now that Metaplanet is expanding its Bitcoin treasury and getting innovative financial tools going, industry watchers are keeping a close tab on its every endeavour. It remains to be seen how this bold approach will impact the company’s long-term success, but for now, Metaplanet is clearly on a fast track in the world of cryptocurrency investment.The post Metaplanet Buys $119M in Bitcoin, Holdings Now Exceed 6,796 BTC appeared first on Live Bitcoin News.
