disclosure<\/a>, the Tokyo-listed firm acquired the coins at an average price of 17.28 million yen (about $115,900) per Bitcoin (BTC), spending 93.65 billion yen (around $627 million). <\/p>\nWith this move, Metaplanet\u2019s cumulative holdings have climbed to 398.21 billion yen ($2.67 billion) at an average purchase price of 15.58 million yen ($104,400) per BTC.<\/p>\n
Metaplanet\u2019s growth through Bitcoin accumulation<\/h2>\n
Metaplanet has rapidly grown since launching its Bitcoin treasury program, funding acquisitions through equity offerings and bond redemptions. The company\u2019s holdings increased from 13,350 BTC at the end of June to over 25,500 BTC by late September, demonstrating its rapid BTC acquisition pace.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As a key performance metric, the company introduced \u201cBTC Yield,\u201d which measures the increase in Bitcoin per fully diluted share over time. The BTC Yield from July 1 to Sept. 22 was 10.3%, indicating consistent growth despite share issuance dilution.<\/p>\n
Metaplanet\u2019s expansion has also been supported by capital markets activity. In mid-September, the firm completed an international share offering that raised more than $1 billion, earmarking most of the proceeds for Bitcoin purchases. Roughly half has already been deployed.<\/p>\n
Market position and ambitions<\/h2>\n
The latest acquisition solidifies Metaplanet\u2019s role as Asia\u2019s largest public Bitcoin holder, surpassing Coinbase and Tesla in corporate reserves. The company plans to grow even more, with goals of 30,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025, 100,000 Bitcoin by 2026, and 210,000 Bitcoin, roughly 1% of the fixed supply of Bitcoin, by 2027.<\/p>\n
Despite the volatility of the stock price, Metaplanet was upgraded to mid-cap status by FTSE Russell in September. Its position as a Bitcoin proxy stock has been cemented by the passive inflows of foreign funds brought about by its inclusion in the All-World and FTSE Japan indexes.<\/p>\n
With its most recent acquisition, Metaplanet continues to establish itself as a long-term Bitcoin accumulator at the centre of Asia\u2019s digital asset markets, following the strategy of U.S.-based Strategy.<\/p>\n
