Metaplanet Buys 780 More Bitcoin, Strengthening Its Bold Crypto Investment Strategy

Metaplanet buys 780 more bitcoin, reinforcing its aggressive stance on adopting a Bitcoin-centric treasury model.

The Tokyo-based company revealed it purchased the coins at an average price of $118,176 per BTC. This latest acquisition brings Metaplanet’s total holdings to 17,132 BTC, worth nearly $2 billion at current prices. That makes Metaplanet the largest non-U.S. public holder of bitcoin.

This strategy mirrors MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin treasury approach, a model designed to maximize long-term value. The company’s use of BTC Yield—a unique metric tracking shareholder benefit versus dilution—rose sharply. Between July 1 and July 28, the BTC Yield hit 22.5%. Even more impressive, the yield for Q2 soared to 129.4%, up from 95.6% the previous quarter.

BTC Yield Surges as Confidence in Strategy Grows

Metaplanet’s share price climbed 5% on Monday, outperforming Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, which declined by 1.1%. Investor interest is clearly growing, driven by the firm’s strong conviction in Bitcoin’s future.

The company has acquired all 17,132 of its BTC at an average price of $99,732 per coin. This means Metaplanet’s current position is profitable, even amid the market’s typical volatility. As Bitcoin gains more acceptance globally, this strategy could prove visionary.

Metaplanet’s BTC Yield is not just a statistic—it’s become a key performance indicator. It reflects how effectively the company translates Bitcoin purchases into shareholder value without eroding ownership through excessive dilution. A yield of over 129% is a strong signal that the strategy may be working.

Metaplanet Buys 780 More Bitcoin—What’s Next?

This latest purchase places Metaplanet in a powerful position within the crypto landscape. While many global firms are still hesitant about Bitcoin, Metaplanet is doubling down.

With regulatory clarity slowly improving in Japan and Asia, Metaplanet’s bold approach might influence other regional players. It could also attract crypto-focused investors seeking public companies with direct Bitcoin exposure.

As more firms look for alternatives to traditional reserve assets, Bitcoin is becoming a strong contender. Metaplanet’s consistent buying signals long-term confidence, not just speculation.

Whether Bitcoin rises or dips in the short term, Metaplanet has made its stance clear: it’s betting big on the future of decentralized digital money.

Why did Metaplanet buy 780 more Bitcoin?

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin acquisition is part of its ongoing treasury strategy inspired by MicroStrategy. The company believes that Bitcoin is a superior long-term store of value compared to fiat or traditional reserves. This purchase continues its mission to build BTC reserves while enhancing shareholder value through a metric called BTC Yield. The recent 780 BTC purchase increases the firm’s holdings to 17,132 BTC, which shows strong long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s value proposition.

What is BTC Yield and why does it matter?

BTC Yield is a performance metric Metaplanet uses to measure how much shareholder value is gained from Bitcoin purchases relative to share dilution. A higher BTC Yield indicates more efficient capital deployment. For July, the company reported a 22.5% BTC Yield, and for Q2, a massive 129.4%, reflecting the success of their BTC accumulation strategy. It helps investors understand if the Bitcoin strategy is really adding value, not just buying crypto.

How much Bitcoin does Metaplanet hold now?

After its most recent purchase of 780 BTC, Metaplanet now holds 17,132 BTC. The current value of these holdings stands close to $2 billion. With an average purchase price of $99,732 per coin, Metaplanet is already in profit based on current market prices. It now holds the most Bitcoin of any public company outside the U.S., positioning itself as a major crypto player in Asia.

Could other Japanese companies follow Metaplanet’s strategy?

Metaplanet’s success and growing BTC Yield could inspire other Japanese or Asian firms to consider similar strategies. As traditional financial systems face inflation and interest rate shifts, Bitcoin offers an alternative hedge. With increased regulatory clarity in Asia, public companies may feel more confident holding crypto. If Metaplanet’s strategy continues to perform, it could start a trend in the region similar to what MicroStrategy initiated in the U.S.
