Metaplanet Posts Record Q1 Financials

From January 1 to date, Metaplanet has added 5,034 BTC to its balance sheet, increasing its holdings by 3.9x to 6,796 $BTC . These purchases were funded by a moving-strike warrant program, which enabled the company to issue equity without setting a fixed discount or strike.

As of May 10, the hospitality entity had executed 87% of the program, raising 76.6 billion yen ($524.8 million) and becoming the largest public equity issuer in the country. With the funds raised, Metaplanet has achieved approximately 68% of its near-term 10,000 BTC goal at a cost basis of 13.27 million yen ($90,929) per BTC.

Although the company recorded a 7.4 billion yen ($50.7 million) unrealized loss on its $BTC position by the end of the quarter due to market prices, bitcoin’s recent rally has fully reversed the losses. The firm reported unrealized BTC gains of 13.5 billion yen ($92.5 million) as of May 12.

Evaluating its treasury performance, Metaplanet reported a $BTC yield of 170% and a BTC gain of 2,996 BTC. These metrics measure the growth in BTC per diluted share and the BTC per shareholder unit.
