This additional Bitcoin purchase marks an important milestone in Metaplanet's increasingly aggressive cryptoasset accumulation strategy, initiated in mid-2024 and accelerating strongly in early 2025. Since December 2024, the company has increased its holdings nearly 28 times since officially making the Bitcoin Treasury its core business, transitioning from the hotel management sector.
The investment company noted that Bitcoin's current quarter yield rate is 107.9%, increasing from 95.6% in Q1 and 309.8% in Q4 2024. This metric is used as an important performance measure, tracking Bitcoin per fully diluted share, eliminating other dilution effects. Additionally, in the past quarter, Metaplanet generated an additional 4,367 BTC equivalent to $451.2 million, based on bitFlyer reference prices.
Raising Capital through Stock Market to Finance Bitcoin Purchases
The Japanese company has raised capital to buy Bitcoin through various capital market activities, including issuing multiple zero-coupon bonds and stock-based investments. Since January, Metaplanet has issued and settled over ten regular bonds and stock purchase rights, primarily subscribed to by the EVO FUND.
Under the "210 Million Share Plan", the company has issued over 210 million shares. The board of directors resolved on June 16 to issue $210 million in zero-coupon bonds to increase capital for additional Bitcoin purchases.
Metaplanet aims to own 210,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2027. According to data from Bitbo, if completed, the company would become the second-largest Bitcoin holder among public companies, only behind Michael Saylor's Strategy.
Previously, in the "21 Million Plan", the target was 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026, with no plans for further expansion. In May and June 2025 alone, the company raised over $300 million through bond issuance and stock purchase rights, specifically dedicated to Bitcoin accumulation.
A June 3 report from Standard Chartered also pointed out that the Bitcoin accumulation strategy has led 61 out of 124 listed companies to collectively hold 3.2% of the maximum BTC that will exist.
Bitcoin Maintains Upward Momentum amid Global Geopolitical Tensions
Metaplanet increases Bitcoin reserves amid escalating Middle East conflicts and global financial market instability. Investors are monitoring the financial system's reaction as markets open at the beginning of the week, following the United States' involvement in the conflict over the past weekend.
US President Donald Trump declared on Saturday that the US conducted precise airstrikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities, including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. This news has impacted Bitcoin price volatility.
Bitcoin price dropped approximately 1% in the past 24 hours and briefly broke below the $100,000 threshold on Sunday before recovering and maintaining around $101,800 at the time of writing. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a market sentiment measure, is currently at 47, showing a pessimistic trend, signaling potential negative adjustments for cryptoassets in the context of increasing geopolitical risks.
