After purchasing an additional 518 people in August 2025, Metaplanet Inc. increased its Bitcoin reserve to 18,113 BTC, bringing its total investment closer to $1.85 billion. The Tokyo-listed company’s accelerated financial strategy cements its position among key Bitcoin holders around the world.
Since adopting Bitcoin as its core business in December 2024, Metaplanet has actively expanded both its holdings and ambitions. Recent regulatory applications and financial presentations demonstrate a dynamic approach to rapid purchases, new performance metrics, and capital market financing.
Metaplanet gets additional BTC
In August 2025, Metaplanet’s acquisition of 518 Bitcoin by approximately 9.1 billion yen marked a noticeable leap. This latest move brings the total to 18,113 BTC. As outlined in the official disclosure, the company is currently firmly present in one of the world’s most prominent Bitcoin finance holders. The total purchase cost totals 27,003,640 million yen ($1,850 million), an average of approximately 14,900,000 yen ($100,000) per Bitcoin.
The Metaplanet announcement also introduced performance tracking innovations. Instead of highlighting only traditional metrics, the company will deploy a unique KPI called “BTC Alied.” This measures your total Bitcoin holdings compared to stocks that have been completely diluted over time. According to the filing, BTC yields surged to 309.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024, recording 129.4% in the second quarter of 2025 and registered 26.5% between July and August 2025.
“BTC yields are key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect changes in the percentage of total Bitcoin holdings with stocks fully diluted over a given period. The company uses BTC yields to assess the performance of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy aimed at accompaniment to shareholders.
This method reflects the intensification of Metaplanet. In December 2024, Bitcoin finance operations became a major business activity, and the pace of acquisitions has accelerated.
