 Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings have now surpassed 1,000 BTC, placing it among the top 20 companies globally with major Bitcoin reserves, according to<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> data</a> from BitcoinTreasuries.

In<a href="https://x.com/Metaplanet_JP/status/1850735760934125968" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> an X post</a> on October 28, the Tokyo-based investment firm announced its latest acquisition, 156.7 BTC bought at around 1.6 billion yen ($10.4 million). This purchase, the seventh in October alone, brings the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 1,018 BTC. Notably,<a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/entities/metaplanet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> this purchase is the seventeenth since April 2024,</a> when it <a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/05/tokyo-based-investment-firm-metaplanet-shifts-to-bitcoin-only-reserve-strategy-amid-yens-decline/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">adopted a Bitcoin-only Treasury strategy.</a>
Metaplanet’s recent purchase follows its<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/10/metaplanet-reports-116-return-from-bitcoin-strategy-in-october-adopts-btc-yield-as-kpi/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> adoption</a> of “BTC Yield” as a key performance indicator, a metric inspired by MicroStrategy to evaluate its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. This measure tracks the percentage growth in Bitcoin holdings relative to the company’s fully diluted shares over time, aiming to bring greater transparency to its Bitcoin investment approach.
The firm reported a 155.8% yield on its holdings since the start of October, building on the 41.7% yield reported from July through September.
CEO Simon Gerovich<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://twitter.com/gerovich/status/1849618229033152913?t=Frcq9e0KbFbi6MWuzGjyGg&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> highlighted</a> that adopting the BTC Yield metric is intended to provide investors with a clearer understanding of how Bitcoin acquisitions enhance shareholder value. He explained, 
<blockquote>
 “This KPI, pioneered by MicroStrategy, will help investors see how Metaplanet’s strategy of using equity capital for Bitcoin acquisitions benefits shareholders.”
