Metaplanet spends another 4.2 billion yen to buy Bitcoin! The stock price increased 10 times in one year, and the BTC dividend rate reached as high as 309.8%

The Japanese version of Metaplanet, undeterred by market downturn, again invested 4.2 billion yen on 4/21 to purchase 330 BTC.

Metaplanet Invests 4.2 Billion Yen to Buy 330 BTC in April

Metaplanet announced on Twitter (X) on 4/21 that it purchased 330 BTC at a price of 12,181,570 yen (approximately $85,605) per BTC, with a total investment of 4.02 billion yen (approximately $28.2 million).

This is Metaplanet's third purchase in April, further demonstrating its strategy of "buying BTC at low prices" is completely unaffected by short-term market sentiment.

Accumulated 4,855 BTC with Average Cost of About $89,928 per BTC

As of 4/21, Metaplanet holds a total of 4,855 BTC, with a total purchase amount of approximately 62.165 billion yen, and an overall average holding cost of 12,804,361 yen (approximately $89,928). This makes Metaplanet:

• Asia's Largest Bitcoin Corporate Holder

• 10th Largest Listed Bitcoin Holding Company Globally

Yield Rate Once Reached 309.8%, Shareholder Returns Transparently Disclosed

Metaplanet also simultaneously disclosed its BTC Yield data calculated from 2024, which reflects the growth ratio between the company's Bitcoin assets and issued shares. According to the announcement:

• 2024/7/1～9/30: BTC Yield was 41.7%

• 2024/10/1～12/31: BTC Yield soared to 309.8%

• 2025 Q1 (until 3/31): BTC Yield was 95.6%

• 2025/4/1～4/21 (current quarter to date): BTC Yield is 12.1%

This represents Metaplanet's continued BTC purchases and controlled new share issuance, steadily increasing the Bitcoin value per share and bringing long-term potential value to shareholders.

Stock Surged 10-Fold in a Year, Becoming Market Dark Horse

Since changing its strategy to "BTC acquisition" in 2024, Metaplanet's stock performance has been impressive. Data shows that over the past year, Metaplanet's stock has risen by 1,080%, far outperforming the Nikkei index.

In Sync with MicroStrategy, Which Also Bought 3,459 BTC in April

On the other side, MicroStrategy led by Michael Saylor also added 3,459 BTC in April, bringing their total holdings to 530,000 BTC.

Although MicroStrategy has an unrealized loss of $5.91 billion this quarter, Saylor stated: "Tariffs will not change our holding strategy."

Trump's Tariffs Trigger Global Market Turmoil, BTC Becomes One of the Best Hedging Assets

Since Trump listed Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset and Michael Saylor made Bitcoin the primary business of MicroStrategy, countries and enterprises worldwide have begun purchasing Bitcoin, sparking an institutional Bitcoin buying wave.

After that, Trump issued a series of aggressive tariff policies that not only affected geopolitics but also triggered global market turbulence. Global investors, in addition to investing in gold as the best hedging asset, have also been investing in BTC.

Against this backdrop, Metaplanet has also announced another increase in Bitcoin holdings. The next step is to see whether this "Bitcoin corporatization" trend will spread from the United States to the entire Asian market.
