Metaplanet's Bitcoin Frenzy: Corporate Giant Skyrockets to 4th Largest Holder, Fuels Explosive Growth

Metaplanet (TSE: 3350, OTC: MTPLF), once a struggling hospitality firm, has successfully transformed itself into a prominent Bitcoin treasury company, now proudly branding itself as Asia’s Bitcoin rocketship. Through its strategic Bitcoin acquisitions, Metaplanet has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the fourth largest publicly-traded Bitcoin treasury company globally, thereby establishing Japan as a central hub for the corporate Bitcoin movement.

As of October 1, Metaplanet significantly bolstered its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 5,268 BTC, amounting to approximately $615.67 million at an average price of $116,870 per Bitcoin. This latest acquisition brings the company's total Bitcoin treasury to an impressive 30,823 BTC. Valued at $3.33 billion based on cost, the average entry price for Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings stands at $107,912 per BTC. This aggressive accumulation strategy has resulted in an extraordinary BTC Yield of 497.1% year-to-date, significantly outperforming conventional corporate financial metrics. With its current holdings, Metaplanet now commands over 0.1% of Bitcoin’s finite supply, surpassing its ambitious FY2025 goal of 30,000 BTC well in advance.

Metaplanet’s innovative Bitcoin Income Generation business has leveraged market volatility to create a novel revenue stream. The third quarter of FY2025 showcased a strong performance, with revenues reaching ¥2.438 billion, marking a substantial 115.7% increase from the second quarter. This robust growth has prompted Metaplanet to revise its FY2025 revenue guidance upwards, doubling it to ¥6.8 billion, and simultaneously raising its operating profit guidance to ¥4.7 billion. To put this into perspective, the company's FY2024 revenue was only ¥1.06 billion. In a single year, Metaplanet has effectively pivoted from generating modest income streams to operating a scaled, Bitcoin-native business model, demonstrating how treasury strategy and operational execution can synergistically drive growth for corporations.
