Japan's Metaplanet Inc., known as a leading corporate Bitcoin holder, has increased its reserves by acquiring 1,005 BTC and issued new bonds.
Metaplanet's Latest Bitcoin Acquisitions
According to its June 30 public disclosure, Metaplanet spent ¥15.648 billion, approximately $108 million, on the latest acquisition. The average price paid per Bitcoin was 15,569,831 yen, about $107,430. This brings the company’s total holdings to 13,350 BTC, purchased at an average price of 14,331,959 yen, roughly $98,891 per coin.
Bond Issuance for Funding Purchases
To fund further Bitcoin accumulation, Metaplanet announced the issuance of its 19th series of ordinary bonds worth 30 billion yen, or $207 million. These bonds carry no interest and mature in December 2025. The capital will be used partly to buy more Bitcoin and partly to refinance 1.75 billion yen in existing secured debt.
Company's Future Strategy
Metaplanet also shared updated performance data regarding its Bitcoin strategy. The BTC Yield, an important metric the company tracks, increased from 95.6% in the previous quarter to 129.4% between April and June 2025. The company's plan aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC by 2027, which would represent 1% of Bitcoin's total supply.
Despite rising share prices and strong institutional support, Metaplanet remains Japan's most shorted stock, reflecting mixed sentiment around its Bitcoin-centric strategy. Nevertheless, the company now stands as Asia’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
