Metaplanet Acquires More Bitcoin, Increasing Total Value to Over $423 Million

Metaplanet, Japan's sole publicly listed Bitcoin Treasury Company, has recently announced its third Bitcoin acquisition for April 2025, adding another 330 BTC to its holdings. This brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to 4,855 BTC, valued at over $423 million at current market prices.

Metaplanet uses capital market activities and operating income to fund these purchases, aiming to enhance shareholder value through Bitcoin exposure. The company has developed certain metrics such as "BTC Yield," "BTC Gain," and "BTC ¥ Gain" to assess the effectiveness of this strategy and provide transparency for its shareholders. Metaplanet's intensive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has ranked it among the world's top ten public holders of the digital asset.

Meanwhile, other Japanese firms, like fashion company ANAP Holdings, are also showing increasing interest in cryptocurrency.
