Japanese micro-strategy Metaplanet Bitcoin holdings have increased to 2100BTC! 0.01% of global supply

Japanese listed company Metaplanet Inc. announced that its Bitcoin reserves have increased to 2,100, accounting for 0.01% of the global total Bitcoin. The company recently increased its holdings of 68.59 bitcoins, with an average purchase price of about 14,527,372 yen per coin, and a total investment of 996 million yen.

Metaplanet implements its Bitcoin reserve strategy from April 8, 2024, with a goal of holding 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025 and 21,000 by the end of 2026. The move reflects the company's confidence in long-term holdings of Bitcoin as a financial asset.

Strong BTC yields highlight shareholder value-added strategy

Metaplanet uses the BTC yield (Bitcoin yield) indicator to measure the value of Bitcoin acquisitions to shareholders. This indicator calculates the ratio of the company's Bitcoin holdings to the number of fully diluted shares outstanding (FDSO).

• Third quarter of 2024 (July-September): BTC yield 41.7%
• Fourth quarter of 2024 (October-December): BTC yield 309.8%
• First quarter to February 20: BTC yield 18.0%

Data shows that Metaplanet successfully increased its Bitcoin holdings per share through Bitcoin acquisitions, realizing its shareholder value-added strategy.

Active capital operation to provide financial support for BTC acquisition

Metaplanet recently raised funds through a variety of capital market activities to support its Bitcoin acquisition program.

• On January 28, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of the share subscription rights No. 13 to 17 to EVO FUND, totaling 21 million shares, with the subscription price per share being the closing price of the previous day, with no discount.
• On February 10, the board of directors approved the issuance of No. 6 interest-free corporate bonds to EVO FUND, raising 400 million yen, which is expected to expire on August 12, 2025, and plans to redeem it through subscription rights proceeds.
• On February 19, Metaplanet used part of the exercise funds of the No. 13 stock subscription rights to redeem No. 6 corporate bonds of 200 million yen in advance, reducing financial risks.

These capital market activities show that Metaplanet actively uses equity financing and interest-free bonds to drive Bitcoin investment and reduce debt pressure by issuing additional stocks.

End of holdings of nearly 2,000 BTC in 8 months, showing strong buying momentum

Since July 2024, Metaplanet has accelerated its Bitcoin acquisition, with holdings increasing from 161 to 2,100 in 8 months, showing strong buying intentions.

Metaplanet: MicroStrategy in Asia?

The company aims to hold 10,000 bitcoins by the end of 2025 and 21,000 bitcoins by the end of 2026. If the goal is achieved, Metaplanet will become one of the largest enterprise-class Bitcoin holders in Asia.
