Metaplanet revealed that in Q1 2025, it acquired 696 BTC by selling cash-secured Bitcoin options. Of this, 50 BTC came from premiums, and 645.74 BTC was obtained through option exercises.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Strategy: Aiming for 21,000 BTC by 2026
On March 31, the company raised ¥2 billion ($13.22 million) by issuing its 10th Series of Ordinary Bonds, which will be entirely allocated for Bitcoin purchases. Since adopting a Bitcoin-focused strategy, Metaplanet’s stock has surged by over 3,000%, reflecting strong investor interest.
The company aims to generate ¥3.0 billion (~$27.5 million) from its Bitcoin program by the end of 2025. This revenue will help the company achieve its total revenue target of ¥3.4 billion (~$31.3 million) for the year. Metaplanet uses BTC Yields (Bitcoin Yield) as a key performance indicator to assess the success of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. This metric measures the percentage change in total Bitcoin holdings relative to fully diluted shares. The Bitcoin yield rose to 309% in Q4 2024, and 95% in Q1 2025.
Metaplanet’s long-term goal is to hold 21,000 BTC by 2026 and surpass 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, positioning itself as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders in Asia.
