Metaplanet (3350.T), a Tokyo-listed investment firm, added $129 million worth of Bitcoin to its treasury, surpassing that of El Salvador, a country well known for embracing crypto and storing up reserves. El Salvador owns 6,174 BTC, while Metaplanet now owns 6,796 BTC. Metaplanet owns 622 BTC more than the nation state of El Salvador. Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, announced the news on X, stating that the company is now competing with nation states. The latest acquisition totals $129 million at current market prices, which amounts to 1,241 BTC at around $102,000 per token, for a local price of ¥14.8 million. The Metaplanet treasury now totals 6,796 BTC. The average price of these holdings is $91,000 per Bitcoin. The treasury commenced in April 2024. The company now has a treasury worth around $707 million. The latest acquisition is the largest purchase to date. Metaplanet is the largest public company holding Bitcoin in Asia, ranked 11th worldwide. BTC Yield, a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) developed by Metaplanet, stands at 38% Q2. The KPI measures Bitcoin accumulation per share, which indicates the current Bitcoin holdings’ impact on shareholder value. BTC Yield hit 95.6% in Q1 2025 and 309.8% in Q4 2024. Metaplanet aims to hold 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. They still have a long way to go, holding around 6,000 BTC. However, the goal seems to motivate the company to unite and achieve a specific target. This is not to mention the added publicity that ultimately benefits a publicly listed company. However, this pales compared to Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR), which holds a massive 555,000 BTC. Gerovich highlighted the company’s commitment to Bitcoin investment, stating that Metaplanet invested around $600 million worth of Bitcoin, which, according to current prices, is worth around $700 million. The profit equates to roughly 16%. The BTC Yield KPI is 170% Year to Date (YTD) as of 2025. Shareholders can use this metric to track the value added to their shares through the Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Metaplanet increased by 3.8% on the Tokyo stock exchange, trading under the ticker symbol 3350.T. In April 2024, Metaplanet commenced its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. The goal was to accumulate 10,000 BTC by 2025. Metaplanet passed the halfway mark just last month, which sets them on a steady pace towards their target value. The company has financed its Bitcoin strategy by issuing company bonds to the public. Metaplanet has issued 14 bond offerings to fund the Bitcoin strategy. Recently, Metaplanet issued its latest bond sale worth $21.25 million. The company ranks 11th worldwide in holding a Bitcoin treasury as a publicly listed company. Strategy, the American company owned by Michael Saylor, ranks number one. Metaplanet has reached out to US investors by raising $250 million, intended for a US audience, extending the business’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Metaplanet wishes to locate the US headquarters in Miami, Florida. The company cites many instances where Florida has been conducive to crypto growth. Florida has numerous crypto startups and a public sector that promotes supportive policies for the crypto industry. Metaplanet envisions Miami as a centre of Bitcoin innovation and blockchain technological research. Florida has so many crypto startups because the public sector supports the industry. As a result, the corporate sector feels comfortable investing in blockchain technology, knowing that the public sector will support their efforts. Metaplanet envisions Miami as an appropriate base for their capital formation strategy and Bitcoin accumulation roadmap to 2025 and beyond.
