Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has invested more of its company funds into buying 1,088 Bitcoin, bringing its total BTC holdings even closer to 9,000 BTC.<\/p>\n

According to the company notice<\/a>, Metaplanet just spent around $117.7 million to purchase more BTC (BTC) for its holdings. On June 2, the Tokyo-based investment firm bought 1,088 BTC at an average price of $108,209. <\/p>\n

With its recent purchase, the company dubbed by many as the Japanese \u201cStrategy\u201d now holds 8,888 BTC which is equal to around $851 million according to market prices at the time of its latest purchase. According to Bitcoin Treasuries\u2019 database<\/a>, Metaplanet\u2019s recent purchase has made it the 10th largest corporate BTC holder on the leaderboard.<\/p>\n

However, it still has a long way to go if it wants to catch up to Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy. Strategy currently occupies the top spot, with 580,250 BTC in total holdings.<\/p>\n

At press time, Bitcoin has gone up by 0.4% in the past 24 hours. It is currently trading hands at $104,848, noticeably around $4,600 lower than the purchase price Metaplanet opted for. In fact, its 24 hour peak still stood at $105,804.<\/p>\n

The largest cryptocurrency by value has accumulated a market cap of $2 trillion and a daily trading volume $18.6 billion. Today\u2019s trading volume has seen a 15.3% increase compared to the previous day, indicating a rise in market activity.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s Bitcoin Yields<\/h2>\n

Alongside the recent BTC purchase, Metaplanet provided updates on its BTC Yield metric. BTC Yield is used to calculate the period-over-period percentage ratio between the company\u2019s Bitcoin Holdings and its fully diluted shares outstanding.<\/p>\n

Throughout 2025, the company\u2019s BTC holdings generated the largest yield percentage during the first quarter of 2025, which ran from January 1 to March 31. During this period, the company saw its BTC Yield amount 95.6%. However, this marked a large departure from its previous BTC Yield at the end of 2024 which jumped as high as 309.8%.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the BTC Yield recorded from April 1 to June 2 amounted to only 66.3%.<\/p>\n

Most recently, the company issued its largest set of 0% ordinary bonds to the venture capital EVO FUND. The bonds were worth a combined value of $50 million. According to the notice, the funds generated from the bond issuances would be used to buy more Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
