Breaking: Metaplanet Acquires 330 BTC For $28.2 Million

Metaplanet has increased the size of its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings by 330 in a bulk purchase valued at $28.2 million. The latest acquisition brings the Japanese company’s holdings closer to the 5,000 BTC mark amid impressive YTD yields.

Metaplanet Buys 330 BTC For Nearly $30 Million

Tokyo-based Metaplanet has announced the addition of 330 BTC to its growing Bitcoin holdings. According to a post on X by Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich, the Japanese-based company splurged $28.2 million on the purchase.

Gerovich’s announcement reveals that Metaplanet spent an average of $85,605 for each BTC in its latest acquisition. At the moment, Metaplanet’s total BTC holding stands at an impressive 4,855 BTC valued at nearly $500 million.

Since the start of the year, Metaplanet says its acquisition spree has seen it rack up a BTC yield of 119.3% YTD.

“Metaplanet has acquired 330 BTC for $28.2 million at $85,605 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 119.3% YTD 2025,” said Gerovich.

The latest acquisition follows the purchase of 696 BTC at the start of April, following a stellar Q1 performance.

Metaplanet began its Bitcoin accumulation spree a year ago, converting its operations into a “Bitcoin First” strategy. Since then, the company has zeroed in on Bitcoin, funding its acquisitions via a combination of equity offerings and bond issuances.

Matching The Pace Of Other BTC-Focused Companies

Metaplanet’s streak of BTC purchases sees it keep pace with a raft of Bitcoin-focused companies. The company is stealing a page from MicroStrategy’s playbook, adopting a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy.

Although Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings pale in comparison to MicroStrategy’s, both firms make the cut for Bitwise OWNB, a fund tracking companies with at least 1,000 BTC on their balance sheet. MicroStrategy splurged $285 million to scoop 3,459 BTC in its last purchase, setting the pace for the rest of the industry.

In a valiant attempt to keep pace with Microstrategy, the Tokyo-based firm has appointed Eric Trump to its Strategic Board of Advisors. After preparing a $10 million purchase, a report says Metaplanet is forming a bullish BTC catalyst in the coming weeks.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin purchase follows a surprise Bitcoin price rally that saw prices spike to $87.3K amid macroeconomic uncertainties. The top cryptocurrency appears to have decoupled from stocks, rallying in the wake of gold posting a new all-time high.
