Metaplanet, often called Japan's MicroStrategy, has been aggressively accumulating Bitcoin to reinforce its position as the largest corporate holder in Asia.
Metaplanet's Expanding Bitcoin Holdings
Metaplanet recently acquired 150 BTC worth $12.6 million, increasing its total reserves to 3,350 BTC as part of its long-term strategy to acquire 10,000 BTC by 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026. According to BitcoinTreasuries.net, Metaplanet is the 10th largest public Bitcoin holder worldwide.
Strategic Expansion and Leadership Moves
Last week, Metaplanet made an unexpected move by appointing Eric Trump to its Strategic Board of Advisors. CEO Simon Gerovich believes Trump's business acumen will enhance the company's leadership in Bitcoin treasury management.
Tracking Strategy Effectiveness with BTC Yield
Metaplanet uses a metric called BTC Yield to measure its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. In Q3 2024, the BTC Yield was 41.7%, increasing to 309.8% in Q4, reflecting successful Bitcoin accumulation efforts.
As it expands its influence in the Bitcoin market, Metaplanet solidifies its role as a key player in the digital asset, becoming a prominent force in Asia and globally.
