Eric Trump’s Adviser Appointment Precedes Metaplanet’s 150 BTC Accumulation

Metaplanet Buys 150 More BTC, Surges in Japan’s Stock Market Rankings

Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin reserves with a fresh purchase of 150 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 3,350 BTC, valued at roughly $291 million at current market prices.

This latest acquisition follows Metaplanet’s recent appointment of Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, to its newly formed strategic advisory board. His role is expected to provide a boost to the firm’s global outreach and institutional credibility.

Metaplanet measures its Bitcoin accumulation strategy through BTC Yield, which reflects the percentage growth of its Bitcoin holdings relative to its share count. The firm reported a BTC Yield of 41.7% in Q3 2024, followed by a sharp rise to 309.8% in Q4 due to increased Bitcoin purchases and a market rally. For 2025 so far, Metaplanet has achieved a BTC Yield of 68.3%, as per the latest filings.

Investor enthusiasm surrounding the company has propelled its stock to become the 13th most liquid on the Japanese stock market, surpassing major corporations such as Toyota and Nintendo. According to Metaplanet’s Head of Bitcoin Strategy, Dylan LeClair, the company recorded a daily trading volume of $336.6 million, while its stock closed 7% higher, breaking past the 5,000-yen mark.
