Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings have reached 5,555 BTC with the latest addition of 555 BTC, as the company reports a year-to-date BTC yield of 136.7% Metaplanet has extended its aggressive Bitcoin (BTC) accumulation strategy with today’s purchase of additional 555 BTC for approximately $54.4 million, acquired at an average price of $96,134 per coin, according to CEO Simon Gerovich, who announced the news on X. Metaplanet has acquired 555 BTC for ~$53.4 million at ~$96,134 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 136.7% YTD 2025. As of 5/7/2025, we hold 5555 $BTC acquired for ~$481.5 million at ~$86,672 per bitcoin. pic.twitter.com/XLTiVNyY81 — Simon Gerovich (@gerovich) May 7, 2025 With this latest acquisition, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 5,555 BTC, purchased at a cumulative cost of around $481.5 million, averaging $86,672 per BTC. This makes Metaplanet the largest public holder of Bitcoin outside North America, according to data from Bitcoin Treasuries. Following the announcement of reaching 5,555 BTC, Metaplanet’s stock rose by 11.5%, closing at 477 yen ($3.33) on Wednesday. Gerovich had previously said that Metaplanet aims to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. With the latest purchase bringing its total holdings to 5,555 BTC, the company has now reached just over 55% of that target. To support this goal, Metaplanet also disclosed a second $25 million bond sale to EVO FUND, intended to finance additional Bitcoin purchases. This comes just days after a previous bond issuance of the same amount to the same buyer. The newly issued bonds, like the previous ones, are zero-coupon and will mature on November 6, the company stated on X. In addition, Metaplanet established Metaplanet Treasury Corp. earlier this year — a Miami-based subsidiary dedicated exclusively to BTC acquisition, backed by $250 million in operating capital. The company’s bold Bitcoin strategy appears to be yielding results. In today’s announcement on X, Gerovich also noted a BTC yield of 136.7% year-to-date in 2025.
