Metaplanet Kicks Off Q2 with Bold Bitcoin Bet, Tops Q1 with Nearly 96% BTC Yield
Japanese hotel operator Metaplanet (3350) isn’t slowing down its bitcoin accumulation strategy. The company has added 160 more BTC to its balance sheet at an average price of 12.5 million yen per coin (roughly $83,600), investing a total of 1.998 billion yen (~$13.4 million).
This latest acquisition boosts Metaplanet’s total bitcoin stash to 4,206 BTC, purchased at an average of 12.9 million yen per BTC (~$86,500), totaling an investment of 54.3 billion yen (about $363.5 million).
The firm reported a massive 95.6% BTC yield in the first quarter of 2025 — a metric that tracks the increase in BTC held per fully diluted share. Early into Q2, the company has already achieved a 3.9% yield.
Despite its aggressive crypto strategy, Metaplanet’s stock dipped slightly on Tuesday, closing down 1.22% at 404 yen.
Metaplanet’s commitment to bitcoin mirrors growing corporate interest in digital assets as treasury tools, especially in Japan, where crypto adoption continues to climb in the face of economic uncertainty.
