Bitcoin HODLer Metaplanet Achieves $35M Unrealized Gains in 2024 Thanks to BTC Treasury

Metaplanet (3350) announced full-year 2024 financial results and is now sitting on an unrealized gain of approximately $36 million (5.46 billion yen) on a total of 1,761 BTC, acquired for $137 million.

The bitcoin investor said it increased its shareholder base by 500% to 50,000 in 2024.

Metaplanet has several ways of increasing bitcoin holdings per share. The first is debt issuance, which is achieved through secured bonds, convertible bonds, and the use of bitcoin as collateral.

The second is equity issuance through private placement, preference shares, convertible bonds and warrants on top of cash flow from business operations, according to the presentation.

The firm plans to acquire 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026-end. This will be achieved by issuing 21 million shares in moving strike warrants.

Metaplanet shares were up 8% on Monday and up 64% year to date.
