Metaplanet Stock Grabs Limelight With Bitcoin Strategy
A day after announcing its Q1 results and a stellar $6 million revenue, Metaplanet stock is roaring at the Tokyo Stock Exchange today. The Japanese firm announced that these record-breaking earnings come on the backdrop of a strong Bitcoin strategy. Today’s Bitcoin purchase comes as BTC price eyes a weekly closing above $105,000 to continue with the rally further.
Since January 1, 2025, the firm has increased its Bitcoin holdings by 4.4x, adding 6,038 BTC to reach a total of 7,800 BTC. Furthermore, it financed this expansion through a moving-strike warrant program, allowing the issuance of equity without a fixed discount or strike price. The Japnese firm is now the 11th largest holder of Bitcoins, surpassing El Salvador in a recent milestone.
Metaplanet has now reached approximately 78% of its short-term goal of holding 10,000 BTC, with a cost basis of ¥712.5 million ($91,343) per Bitcoin. The company’s aggressive Bitcoin buying spree has continued this year in 2025, reaching very close to its target of 10,000 BTC. Moreover, on its Bitcoin purchases this year in 2025, the company has attained an impressive BTC Yield of 189.1%.
On Monday, Metaplanet ranked as the 9th most liquid publicly traded stock in Japan, recording a daily trading volume of ¥61.69 billion (~$425 million). This performance placed it ahead of major players like Toyota, SoftBank, and Nintendo.
Better Than MicroStrategy?
With this staggering BTC yield, the Japanese firm has also outpaced MicroStrategy in its Bitcoin strategy. In a comparative study, Blockstream CEO Adam Back stated that “Metaplanet is growing 3.8 times faster than MicroStrategy in terms of mNAV coverage,” which makes the Japanese firm stock more attractive for investors than MSTR.
Today’s purchase comes as the BTC price continues to flirt around $103,500, facing a strong rejection at $105,000, crossing which will open the gates for new all-time highs. Furthermore, with Moody’s downgrading the US credit ratings, the overall crypto market remains a bit jittery as of now, as S&P 500 faces strong selling pressure.
