Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin holdings with the acquisition of 150 BTC. The company <a href="https://x.com/Metaplanet_JP/status/1903979926308663309" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">now holds</a> a total of 3,350 BTC, valued at approximately $291 million.
The purchase, announced on March 24, 2025, follows the recent appointment of Eric Trump to Metaplanet’s newly formed Strategic Board of Advisors. Trump, the son of U.S. President Donald Trump, is expected to bring business expertise to the firm’s Bitcoin strategy.
Metaplanet bought the latest 150 BTC at an average price of ¥12.57 million ($80,000) per coin. The total cost of the acquisition was ¥1.886 billion ($12.1 million). So far, the firm has accumulated 3,350 BTC at an overall cost of ¥42.22 billion ($270 million).
The company’s <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/crypto-stocks-crash-amid-bitcoin-and-altcoin-market-crash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stock </a>has surged since it began its Bitcoin accumulation strategy in April 2024. Since then, Metaplanet’s share price has risen by over 3,000%, reflecting strong investor confidence.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-btc-yield-and-financing-methods">BTC Yield and Financing Methods</h3>
Metaplanet tracks its Bitcoin strategy using BTC Yield, a metric that measures Bitcoin growth relative to the number of company shares. From January to March 2025, its BTC Yield reached 68.3%. In Q4 2024, this metric spiked to 309.8% due to aggressive Bitcoin purchases.
To finance these acquisitions, Metaplanet has used stock acquisition rights and zero-coupon bonds. In March, the company redeemed ¥2 billion ($12.8 million) in bonds ahead of schedule and issued new bonds for the same amount. &nbsp;
