The Tokyo-listed firm continues to double down on bitcoin as a reserve asset, with its latest purchase of 145 BTC made at an average price of approximately $93,327 per coin, totaling roughly $13.6 million.

The accumulation strategy has achieved a year-to-date (YTD) BTC Yield of 121.1% in 2025. This yield metric reflects the company’s effective increase in bitcoin per share held.

Notably, BTC Yield is a proprietary KPI Metaplanet uses to track treasury performance. It isolates gains driven purely by bitcoin acquisition strategies while neutralizing dilution from newly issued shares. In Q1 2025 alone, the company saw a yield of 95.6%.

Shares of Metaplanet were trading 5% lower at the time of writing.
