Japanese investment firm Metaplanet Inc. has expanded its Bitcoin treasury to 3,050 BTC, valued at approximately $250 million, according to a regulatory filing on March 12.
The Tokyo-based company recently acquired an additional 162 BTC for ¥2 billion ($13.3 million), reinforcing its position among the world’s leading corporate Bitcoin holders. This latest purchase coincides with Bitcoin’s rebound from a 24-hour low of $79,271 to $82,457, marking a 1% gain on the day, according to CoinGecko. The price increase is driven by renewed institutional interest and potential regulatory clarity in the U.S., despite ongoing volatility in broader financial markets.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich reported early Wednesday that the firm’s BTC yield—a key metric tracking Bitcoin accumulation relative to share dilution—stood at 53.2% for Q1 2025, far surpassing its quarterly target of 35%.
In January, Metaplanet unveiled an ambitious plan to significantly expand its Bitcoin reserves, aiming to increase holdings by 470% within the year. The company targets 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by the close of 2026.
This aggressive strategy aligns with Metaplanet’s broader corporate treasury framework, which was officially incorporated as a business operation in December 2023. The firm remains committed to accumulating Bitcoin despite market fluctuations, maintaining an average acquisition cost of ¥12,441,856 ($81,834) per BTC—still below the current market price.
