Since then, it has invested approximately $608.2 million in the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>At the current BTC price of about $104,003, Metaplanet\u2019s holdings are valued at roughly $706.8 million. This represents a 16.2% unrealized profit on their investment.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoins Racing Toward 10,000 BTC<\/h2>\n<p>Metaplanet is quickly approaching its goal of owning 10,000 BTC by the end of 2026. The company recently announced plans to issue its 13th Series of Ordinary Bonds.<\/p>\n<p>These bonds aim to raise $25 million for future Bitcoin purchases. They are being issued at 0% interest through the company\u2019s EVO FUND.<\/p>\n<p>The firm\u2019s BTC Yield metric shows impressive growth. Year-to-date in 2025, Metaplanet has achieved a 170% BTC Yield.<\/p>\n<p>For the current quarter alone\u2014April 1 to May 12, 2025\u2014the BTC Yield stands at 38%. This metric tracks the growth in Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share.<\/p>\n<p>Investors have responded positively to Metaplanet\u2019s Bitcoin strategy. The company\u2019s stock rose 3.8% following the latest purchase announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Since adopting its Bitcoin-focused approach, Metaplanet shares have surged approximately 15 times in value. Some reports indicate gains as high as 1,700% since mid-2024.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025 alone, the stock has increased by more than 51%. This performance signals strong investor confidence in the company\u2019s cryptocurrency strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Market analysts see greater potential in Metaplanet compared to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Strategy was the first major corporation to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury asset.<\/p>\n<p>According to one analyst\u2019s model, at a Bitcoin price of $120,000, Metaplanet stock could double in value. Strategy shares might rise by 1.6x in the same scenario.<\/p>\n<p>At $150,000 per Bitcoin, Metaplanet could see a 4.5x surge compared to Strategy\u2019s 3.0x gain. This \u201casymmetric upside\u201d makes Metaplanet an attractive option for investors seeking Bitcoin exposure.<\/p>\n<p>The broader Bitcoin market is showing strength. BTC price recently climbed to $105,000 amid positive US-China trade talks.<\/p>\n<p>Whale activity has also increased. One major investor reportedly purchased 1,721 BTC worth approximately $179 million over a two-day period.<\/p>\n<p>Market analyst Joe Consorti has observed a correlation between Bitcoin\u2019s price movement and the Global M2 Money Supply with a 70-day lag. While M2 is considered a \u201cpoor measure of money supply,\u201d the trend remains interesting to watch.<\/p>\n<p>As Metaplanet continues its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, it aims to challenge other major institutional holders like Coinbase and Block Inc.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blockonomi.com\/out\/bcbot\" alt=\"BC.Game Casino\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blockonomi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bc-wide.gif\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p> Maisie Morrison <a href=\"https:\/\/blockonomi.com\/metaplanet-acquires-1241-bitcoin-for-126-7-million-surpasses-el-salvadors-holdings\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TLDR Metaplanet acquired 1,241 BTC for $126.7 million, bringing total holdings to 6,796 BTC The Japanese firm now holds 622 more BTC than El Salvador\u2019s national reserves Metaplanet has achieved 170% BTC Yield year-to-date in 2025 with 16.2% unrealized profit Company stock has surged 15x since beginning Bitcoin acquisitions in April 2024 Analysts project stronger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":858114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2405,135617],"tags":[11476],"class_list":{"0":"post-858113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-acquires","8":"category-metaplanet","9":"tag-bitcoins"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=858113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/858114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=858113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=858113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=858113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
