Metaplanet makes first Bitcoin purchase in 2025, buys 269 BTC

Metaplanet is a Japanese Bitcoin investment company that has acquired its first Bitcoin of the year. This brings its total Bitcoin holdings to over 2,000 BTC.

On Feb. 17, the firm announced that it expanded its holdings to 2,031 BTC, worth $195 million, by acquiring 269 BTC for ¥4 billion ($26 million). According to the press statement, the firm secured these assets at an average price of ¥12,243,936 ($80,674) per Bitcoin.

Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, said the following:

“We have completed the first Bitcoin purchase of 2025. We believe this year will be an important one for our company. After a long break, we are glad to resume acquiring Bitcoin.”

In January, the company revealed its plans to own at least 10,000 BTC before the end the year. By 2026, it aims to reach 21,000 BTC. The Japan-based company plans to achieve this by raising 116 billion yen (745 million dollars) through the issuance of 21 million shares.

The company stated that these shares would be available under a 0% discount moving strike warrant structure, allowing investors to buy at a fixed price based on the previous day’s closing stock price.

BTC yield

Gerovich reported, however, that since the beginning of this year the company has achieved a BTC return of 15,3%. Gerovich said the firm’s quarterly goal is 35%.

BTC Yield is an important performance indicator that represents the ratio between Bitcoin and fully-diluted shares for a given period.

Gerovich explained:

“BTC Yield serves the same role as EPS (Earnings Per Share) for Bitcoin treasury companies. It’s the clearest indicator of how effectively we are increasing BPS (Bitcoin Per Share). Our goal is to accelerate Bitcoin accumulation through effective Bitcoin treasury management, maximize BPS using capital market strategies, and thereby enhance shareholder value.”
