Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based investment company, announced on June 23 that it has acquired 1,111 Bitcoin for an average price of $106,408 each. The latest purchase brings the firm’s Bitcoin holdings to exactly 11,111 coins, positioning it as the eighth-largest corporate holder globally.
Company filings revealed the transaction was worth about $118 million, bringing the total value of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin portfolio to just over $1 billion. The firm uses a metric called BTC Yield—which tracks the increase in Bitcoin per share—to measure the outcomes of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy for shareholders.
According to the company, the quarter-to-date BTC Yield stood at 107.9% from April 1 to June 23, 2025. “The performance reflects aggressive accumulation in relation to share dilution,” a company statement explained. Previous quarters saw BTC Yield at 95.6% and 309.8%.
Last week, Metaplanet achieved an earlier target of 10,000 Bitcoin and is now 11% toward its overall ambition of 100,000 coins by the end of 2026. If the firm maintains a steady pace, it would need to purchase roughly 5,000 Bitcoin monthly, which at the current price translates to more than $9 billion in additional funds.
To support these large acquisitions, Metaplanet has initiated several capital-raising projects, including its so-called 555M Plan. This plan involves issuing 555 million new shares through stock warrants—contracts that let investors purchase company shares at a future date at a set price, often used for fundraising. These warrants are designed to secure about $5.3 billion for further Bitcoin purchases.
Despite the latest acquisition, shares of Metaplanet closed 8.2% lower on the day at $10.25, a drop attributed to wider market uncertainty even as Bitcoin’s value recovered.
