Metaplanet increases Bitcoin holdings by 150 BTC – target: 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025
Metaplanet acquired 150 BTC at an average price of 83,000 US dollars per coin, signaling its continued confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. This brings the company’s Bitcoin reserves to a total of 3,350 BTC, acquired at an average price of 12.60 million yen (80,200 USD) per BTC. The company aims to reach 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025 and has already purchased over 1,400 BTC in 2025.
Metaplanet is financing its Bitcoin strategy through unconventional methods, including the issuance of share purchase rights and zero-coupon bonds. In March, Metaplanet prepaid bonds worth 2 billion yen (12.8 million USD) through a new issue of the same amount. This method allows the company to increase its Bitcoin holdings without incurring interest-bearing liabilities.
By avoiding traditional debt instruments, the company reduces financial risks while pursuing its long-term strategy. The company’s performance is monitored using the proprietary “BTC Yield,” which provides data to evaluate BTC growth relative to the fully diluted share base.
The company has recorded a 309.8% increase in its “BTC Yield” since the fourth quarter of 2024; currently, this figure stands at 68.3% for the first quarter of 2025. This correlation between share growth and Bitcoin reserves further strengthens investor confidence.
Eric Trump joins advisory board – share price increases
Eric Trump has assumed a key position within the company with his appointment as Metaplanet’s first strategic advisor. Trump is committed to blockchain technology and is also involved in raising capital for his family venture, World Liberty Financial.
The appointment comes as part of Metaplanet’s strategic expansion of its advisory board to include prominent figures from the blockchain sector. The company plans to recruit cryptocurrency experts to develop an optimized treasury structure. According to Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, Trump has excellent credentials and a deep understanding of the company’s core objectives.
Since implementing the Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet’s share price has increased by over 3,000%, reflecting the strong market response. The advisory board provides strategic insights into the company’s international expansion. Metaplanet’s international market recognition is significantly influenced by Trump’s role in raising the company’s profile.
