Metaplanet Inc. has announced a strategic investment of approximately $53.6 million to expand its Bitcoin holdings, bringing the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 5,555 BTC at an average price of $96,530 per Bitcoin. This brings their total investment to around $630.5 million since starting their Bitcoin portfolio.
To assess the performance of their Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet uses three key metrics: BTC Yield, which tracks the percentage increase in total Bitcoin holdings relative to fully diluted outstanding shares; BTC Gain, a theoretical measure of growth assuming no dilution; and BTC $ Gain, calculated in USD based on the current market rate.
These recent Q3 2024 through Q1 2025 results reveal remarkable performance: Q3 2024: 41.7% gain, Q4 2024: 309.8% gain, and Q1 2025: a noteworthy 21.0% quarter-to-date.
Metaplanet’s continued investment in Bitcoin affirms their belief in the asset as a long-term store of value and hedge against inflation – a philosophy gaining traction with forward-looking companies actively integrating digital assets into their treasury strategies.
