Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Bonanza: 555 BTC, 136.7% Yield, and Some Serious Numbers!

In a move that would make even the most seasoned Wall Street mogul give a second glance, Metaplanet has, with an air of unapologetic flair, reached the rather auspicious figure of 5,555 BTC. Yes, you read that right—five thousand five hundred and fifty-five Bitcoin, with the most recent addition of a rather chummy 555 BTC. The company has also reported a rather eye-watering 136.7% Bitcoin yield for 2025. Not bad for a day’s work, eh? 😎

The latest acquisition, valued at a modest $54.4 million, was made at a price of $96,134 per coin. This is, of course, according to Simon Gerovich, CEO and the mastermind behind Metaplanet’s digital gold rush, who spilled the beans on X (not to be confused with the late-night snack, though it’s just as thrilling). 🍿

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.

So, what’s the takeaway here? Well, with a grand total of 5,555 BTC, Metaplanet is now the proud owner of a treasure chest worth approximately $481.5 million—no small feat, considering the average price per coin stands at a hefty $86,672. This puts them in a rather exclusive club as the largest public Bitcoin holder outside of North America, according to Bitcoin Treasuries. 🏆

The announcement of reaching 5,555 BTC was followed by a noticeable spike in Metaplanet’s stock price, which jumped by a rather stately 11.5%, closing at 477 yen ($3.33) on Wednesday. Cheers to that, I say! 🍾

And as for the future? Well, Gerovich has set his sights on a lofty goal—10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. With the latest purchase under their belt, Metaplanet has already hit 55% of that target. And that’s before the champagne’s even popped! 🥂

To fund this ambitious quest, Metaplanet has decided to launch another $25 million bond sale to EVO FUND. This marks the second such issuance to the same buyer—because, why not? The bonds are zero-coupon and will mature on November 6. Sounds like a good plan to keep the BTC machine running smoothly. 💰

But wait, there’s more! Earlier this year, Metaplanet also launched a subsidiary—Metaplanet Treasury Corp., based in Miami, with a mighty $250 million in operating capital, all devoted to acquiring more Bitcoin. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. 🥚💼

Gerovich’s bold strategy is clearly working, and with a BTC yield of 136.7% year-to-date in 2025, it’s safe to say that Metaplanet is making waves. The digital treasure hunt is far from over, and we can only watch with bated breath as the next chapter unfolds. Stay tuned, folks! 😜
