The latest acquisition was completed at an average price of $108,237 per Bitcoin. This represents a total investment of $238.7 million for the quarter’s purchase. The company’s aggregate bitcoin investment now stands at $1.54 billion, with a blended average purchase price of $99,307 per BTC.

Metaplanet uses a custom metric called BTC Yield to measure shareholder value relative to share dilution. For the quarter ending June 30, the company reported a BTC Yield of 95.6%. This follows a 309.8% yield in the previous quarter.

The BTC Yield metric reflects the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share. It isolates the effect of treasury actions on shareholder value. The company also tracks BTC Gain and BTC Yen Gain to provide investors with clearer performance metrics.

CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed the company’s commitment to continued Bitcoin accumulation. He stated that Metaplanet WOULD never stop stacking Bitcoin as part of its high-yield acquisition strategy. The CEO celebrated the recent purchase as part of efforts to generate value for shareholders.

🌍 Shareholder update: As of the end of June, Metaplanet now has 128,073 shareholders—more than doubling in just 3 months.

The latest purchase pushes Metaplanet’s ranking among corporate Bitcoin holders. The company now holds the 5th position, surpassing Galaxy Digital and CleanSpark. Metaplanet is approaching Riot Platform’s Bitcoin holdings and aims to reach the 4th position.

Corporate Bitcoin Strategy Expansion

Metaplanet recently revised its Bitcoin acquisition targets under the Accelerated 2025-2027 Bitcoin Plan. The company aims to hold 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025. By 2026, the target increases to 100,000 BTC, with a final goal of 210,000 BTC by 2027.

The company approved the 19th Series of ordinary bonds to EVO FUND to support these acquisitions. Metaplanet decided to proceed with the buyback and cancellation of the 3rd series of bond offerings. The remaining funds from these financial operations will be used to purchase more Bitcoin.

The stock initially faltered after the company announced plans to raise $5.4 billion for Bitcoin purchases. However, recent shareholder inflows have supported a price rebound. The company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy continues to attract investor interest.
