Metaplanet Increases BTC Reserves to 18,113 Coins with $61.4M Buy, YTD Yield at 468%
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin reserves to 18,113 BTC following a $61.4 million purchase of 518 BTC at an average price of $118,519, lifting its 2025 year-to-date Bitcoin Yield to 468.1%. Earlier this month, it acquired 463 BTC for $53.7 million, growing holdings from 17,132 to 17,595 BTC. With an average acquisition cost of $101,911 per coin, Metaplanet now ranks as the sixth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, trailing MacroStrategy and Marathon Digital. Launched in late 2024, its equity-funded crypto treasury strategy—bolstered by a ¥580 billion ($3.7 billion) stock offering and ¥12.75 billion bond redemptions—underscores a disciplined, systematic accumulation model. This aggressive buying signals rising institutional adoption of Bitcoin, pointing to potential price support and enhanced market stability.
Bullish
Metaplanet’s substantial Bitcoin purchases demonstrate growing institutional demand, directly creating buy pressure that supports short-term price gains. Its disciplined, equity-funded accumulation model—mirroring strategies used by major corporate holders—signals long-term bullish conviction. As more firms adopt similar treasury approaches, trader sentiment is likely to turn increasingly positive, reinforcing upward momentum and enhancing market stability.
