Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has strengthened its Bitcoin holdings with the acquisition of an additional 150 BTC, bringing its total reserves to 3,350 BTC, currently valued at approximately $291 million. The company disclosed on Monday that it purchased the latest batch at an average price of $83,508 per coin, representing a total investment of around $12.5 million. This move is part of Metaplanet’s further plans to increase shareholder value by accumulating Bitcoin as a treasury asset. The recent purchase follows a significant corporate development: the appointment of Eric Trump to Metaplanet’s newly formed strategic advisory board . His involvement is expected to bring a high-profile perspective and bolster the firm’s global influence in the crypto sector. BTC Yield Jumps as Metaplanet Ramps Up Accumulation Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-buying spree has significantly boosted its BTC Yield—a metric the firm uses to measure the percentage growth of its Bitcoin holdings relative to its shares. According to Monday’s disclosure, the company achieved a BTC Yield of 68.3% from Jan. 1 to March 24, 2025, indicating a steady increase in its Bitcoin reserves. This marks a substantial rise from the 41.7% BTC Yield recorded between July and September 2024, when its Bitcoin accumulation outpaced share dilution. The most dramatic spike occurred between October and December 2024, when Metaplanet’s BTC Yield surged to 309.8%. This sharp jump was driven by the firm’s aggressive Bitcoin purchases during a period of rising prices, significantly outpacing its share growth. Long-Term Bitcoin Commitment Metaplanet’s continued Bitcoin accumulation underscores its commitment to crypto-centric treasury management, echoing the playbook of MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. By consistently increasing its BTC reserves and enhancing its BTC Yield, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a prominent player in the crypto-focused investment landscape. The company also aims to increase its BTC holdings to 21,000 Bitcoin by 2026 . The post Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings to 3,350 BTC Amid Strategic Expansion appeared first on TheCoinrise.com .
