Metaplanet Picks Up Additional 2,205 BTC, Holdings Now Cross 15,555 Bitcoin

Japan-based Metaplanet has acquired an additional 2,205 bitcoin (BTC) as part of its ongoing Bitcoin Treasury strategy, bringing its total holdings to 15,555 BTC per a new disclosure on Monday.

The latest purchase was made at an average price of 15.64 million yen per bitcoin, totaling approximately 34.49 billion yen ($213 million). That pushes Metaplanet’s aggregate BTC investment to 225.82 billion yen ($1.38 billion), with a blended average purchase price of 14.52 million yen per BTC.

Metaplanet utilizes a custom metric, called BTC Yield, to track shareholder value in relation to dilution.

For the quarter ending June 30, the company reported a BTC Yield of 95.6%, following a 309.8% yield in the previous quarter. BTC Yield reflects the percentage change in bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share, isolating the effect of accretive treasury actions.

The firm also tracks BTC Gain and BTC Yen Gain — which translate that yield into hypothetical BTC increases and yen-denominated performance, respectively — to give investors a clearer sense of overall strategy.
