Metaplanet bought more Bitcoin, now owning 3,350 BTC

Since the launch of the Bitcoin investment strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet has adopted various financial instruments to support this goal, including issuing bonds and stocks, planning to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of this year, and to accumulate 21,000 BTC by 2026.

Metaplanet announced today that it has purchased 150 more Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 3,350 Bitcoin, and it has achieved a BTC yield of 68.3% from the beginning of 2025 to date, significantly exceeding the original plan of a 35% quarterly Bitcoin yield increase.

Metaplanet will split stocks

The 10-for-1 stock split of Metaplanet will take effect on April 1, 2025, with the aim of lowering the share price by reducing the price per share, as the previous significant increase in stock price made it unaffordable for retail investors.

This split will increase the total number of shares issued by Metaplanet from 39.1 million shares to 391.6 million shares, with each shareholder registered as of March 31 receiving 10 new shares for every share they hold.

Since the launch of the Bitcoin investment strategy in April 2024, Metaplanet stock has risen over 2,200 times. As of the time of this report, it is priced at 4,950 yen. If a 10-for-1 stock split occurs, the stock price could be reduced to 495 yen, significantly lowering the entry barrier for purchases.
