Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, took advantage of the recent Bitcoin slip up to add yet another stack of Bitcoin. The firm bought additional 463 BTC, spending roughly $53.7 million on the purchase. This purchase has now pushed its Bitcoin holdings to over $2 billion, suggesting strong conviction for one of the top BTC holders. 

In the backdrop of this news, Bitcoin appreciated surging above $114,000 on Monday morning. This purchase also has potential to boost BTC’s price recovery after a rather steady weekend performance. 

Metaplanet Cements its Position as the 7th-Largest BTC Corporate Holder

Following this purchase Metaplanet now holds a total of 17,595 BTC, valued at over $2 billion at current market prices. As per data by Bitcoin Treasuries, the new BTC stack now cements Metaplanet’s position as the 7th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder. 

Metaplanet only comes behind other firms such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Mara Holdings, XXI, Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, Riot Platforms, and Trump Media. However, with commitment and stronger BTC accumulation as seen in recent days, the firm could move to a higher rank in the near future. 

On August 1, the firm announced a bold plan to raise ¥555 (approximately $3.7 billion) to purchase more Bitcoin. Metaplanet aims to raise these funds through perpetual preferred shares in an attempt to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. In a commentary regarding this bold plan, Simon Gerovich – the president of Metaplanet –  said: 

“Our goal is to have multiple tools to raise capital for buying Bitcoin. On a Bitcoin standard, the mission is to continuously grow Bitcoin per share. Issuing perpetual preferreds is a highly accretive tool designed to maximize long-term shareholder value.”

The firm plans to accumulate a total of 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. This number means 1% of all the total Bitcoin supply. With the latest purchase, Metaplanet has now achieved only 8.4% of this ambitious target.

Bitcoin Yield Surges as Execution Improves

Metaplanet’s official filing indicates that the firm has increased its Bitcoin Yield (ratio of BTC holdings to its fully diluted shares) significantly. In particular, the firm recorded a yield of 24.6% for the period spanning July 1 to August 4. 

The firm also recorded 129.5% and 95.6% Bitcoin Yield over the last two quarters. According to Simon, the firm’s Year-to-Date (YTD) yield now stands at 459.2%.

This metric reflects steadiness in its accumulation program and indicates a trend of appreciating shareholder value as BTC prices go up. Market analysts are also increasingly referring to this model as a glowing example to other companies wishing to venture into Bitcoins without copying the risky leveraged positions and short-term speculation strategies.

The firm’s approach also reflects a larger change in corporate attitude toward treasury management. Firms are no longer considering BTC as a mere speculative financial asset but more like a long-term strategic store of value. As reported by Blockchain News earlier, these firms, now referred to as Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCOs), are growing in size. These firms, led by Strategy, now hold $100B in crypto. 

As of this writing, Bitcoin (BTC) is now trading at $114,364 as per data by CoinMarketCap. The king crypto is only up by less than 1% over the last 24 hours but the latest purchase by Metaplanet shows institutional players are still confident.
