— Simon Gerovich (@gerovich) June 26, 2025This acquisition is part of the company’s newly launched “555 Million Plan,” a strategy targeting the accumulation of 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, equivalent to 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. The initiative replaces the earlier “21 Million Plan,” which had aimed for 21,000 BTC by 2026.
BTC Yield, the company’s proprietary key performance indicator (KPI) tracking Bitcoin per fully diluted share, has continued to rise. It jumped from 41.7% in Q3 2024 to 112.2% quarter-to-date. This increase reflects a BTC Gain of 4,538 and a corresponding hypothetical BTC ¥ Gain of ¥71.2 billion, highlighting the effectiveness of the company’s capital allocation strategy.
Capital markets activity has played a central role in funding these purchases. Since January 2025, Metaplanet has executed a series of zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing bond issuances, raising more than ¥90 billion and USD 121 million. All issuances have been redeemed early, using proceeds from stock acquisition rights exercised under the now fully completed “210 Million Plan.”
“On June 25, 2025, the Company completed the early redemption and full repayment of the 16th, 17th, and 18th Series of zero-coupon, non-interest-bearing Ordinary Bonds issued to EVO FUND,” the company stated in the press release.
As of June 26, 2025, Metaplanet has expanded its issued common shares to over 654.7 million. This growing share base reflects the company’s strategy of using equity financing to convert capital directly into Bitcoin, reinforcing its commitment to becoming a long-term institutional holder of Bitcoin.
