Bitcoin treasury strategy remains central to Metaplanet Inc’s financial approach, as the Tokyo-listed firm significantly expanded its cryptocurrency reserves. In a move signaling continued confidence in digital assets, the company recently purchased 775 additional BTC, valued at approximately $94 million.

Metaplanet’s Expanding Bitcoin Portfolio

According to Metaplanet Inc (stock code: 3350), this latest acquisition boosts its total bitcoin holdings to an impressive 18,888 BTC. The average purchase cost for the new bitcoins was 17.72 million yen per coin (approximately $120,500). Altogether, the BTC now sitting in Metaplanet’s treasury is worth around 284.1 billion yen, or $1.95 billion at current market rates. This keeps the company firmly positioned as the seventh largest public holder of bitcoin globally.

Based on current calculations, the company’s overall average acquisition cost for its bitcoin reserves comes to 15.04 million yen per BTC, or about $102,100.

Performance Metrics and Financial Structure

Although Metaplanet’s latest reported Bitcoin Yield dropped to 29.3%—a decline from the 129.4% posted in the previous quarter—it continues to demonstrate an overall strong position relative to its historical performance. Meanwhile, the firm’s multiple to net asset value remains near 2, representing its lowest ratio since initiations of BTC investment activities.

On the debt front, the company maintains a notably conservative leverage strategy. With just $117 million in debt obligations, Metaplanet’s capital structure is largely defined by its bitcoin holdings. In fact, the firm’s total BTC reserve of $2.18 billion dwarfs its liabilities. According to Dylan LeClair, the company’s director of bitcoin strategy, its 19th Series Ordinary Bonds are “18.67x over-collateralized” by its BTC assets, emphasizing minimal financial risk.

Investor Response and Market Position

Despite fluctuations in bitcoin’s market price—recently slipping to $115,500—investors appear optimistic about Metaplanet’s strategy. Shares rose 4% to close at 900 yen this past Monday, reflecting solid investor sentiment and trust in the firm’s treasury model.
