Metaplanet boosts Bitcoin reserves to $2 billion with a new 463-bitcoin acquisition
Metaplanet, a global corporation, has announced plans to amass a significant amount of Bitcoin by the end of 2027. If successful, Metaplanet will join the ranks of corporate giants known for treating their balance sheets as long-term Bitcoin vehicles.
The company's strategy involves a targeted acquisition of 210,000 BTC, which represents approximately 1% of Bitcoin's total supply. To finance this ambitious plan, Metaplanet plans to raise approximately $3.7 billion (555 billion yen) through the issuance of perpetual preferred shares, offering up to a 6% annual dividend depending on market conditions and investor demand.
As of August 2025, Metaplanet holds around 18,113 BTC, worth about $1.85 billion at an average entry price near $101,010. The company pursues a steady accumulation strategy, consistently buying Bitcoin even during market dips, with recent purchases of 463 BTC and 518 BTC adding to its holdings.
Metaplanet reports "BTC Gain" and "BTC ¥ Gain" to show the value added by its Bitcoin stash in both Bitcoin and Yen. The company's Bitcoin Yield metric, which measures the returns on its Bitcoin investments, was nearly 25% for the quarter ending August 4.
This aggressive accumulation strategy demonstrates growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a treasury asset and hedge against volatility. Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings have increased significantly since December 2024, with the corporation funding its purchases through equity offerings, bond redemptions, and warrant exercises.
In July 2025, a flurry of share issuances helped bankroll the recent 463-coin purchase. The latest purchase cost approximately ¥7.995 billion ($54 million). Metaplanet's Bitcoin stash is currently worth roughly ¥261 billion ($1.78 billion).
With a goal to become one of the top corporate Bitcoin holders globally, Metaplanet's strategic approach prioritizes long-term accumulation over short-term price moves. The company's Bitcoin Yield has seen a 468% year-to-date increase in 2025, positioning Metaplanet to hold a significant Bitcoin stake by 2027.
