Metaplanet Spends $451 Million on 4,279 Bitcoin in Q4<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Metaplanet added 4,279 bitcoin during the fourth quarter of this year, spending about $451 million and lifting its total holdings to 35,102 BTC, the company said<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The purchase reinforces the Tokyo-listed firm\u2019s position as one of the largest corporate bitcoin holders in Asia and the fourth largest among publicly traded companies globally.<\/p>\n

The bitcoin was acquired<\/a> at an average price of $105,412 per coin, according to the company. Metaplanet has now spent roughly $3.78 billion accumulating bitcoin at an average cost of about $107,600.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The firm has set an ambitious target of owning 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, a goal that implies continued reliance on capital markets and credit facilities to fund future purchases.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s shares ended the year up about 8% at 405 yen, though they remain far below the peak reached in June, when the stock traded near all-time highs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gap reflects both the volatility of bitcoin prices and investor unease around balance sheets that are tightly linked to a single asset. For shareholders, the strategy offers leverage to bitcoin\u2019s upside while exposing the company to drawdowns<\/a> that can move faster than operating income.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s bitcoin accumulation via consistent revenue\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Unlike some bitcoin treasury firms, Metaplanet has paired accumulation with a separate income generation business built around derivatives. The unit aims to produce recurring revenue while supporting long-term bitcoin holdings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company expects this business to generate around $55 million in revenue in the coming fiscal year, a figure that helps frame its strategy as more than passive holding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the quarter, Metaplanet reported a BTC Yield of 11.9%, a metric it uses to measure bitcoin accretion on a per-share basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Year to date, the company reported BTC Yield of more than 500%, helped by rising bitcoin prices and the pace of purchases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fourth-quarter buying spree followed a pause that began in late September, the longest break in Metaplanet\u2019s acquisition program since it adopted a bitcoin treasury strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Funding for recent purchases has included bitcoin-backed credit facilities totaling about $280 million and the issuance of Class B preferred shares convertible into common stock.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company said proceeds from the preferred share sale will be used largely to buy more bitcoin, with a portion set aside for yield strategies and bond redemptions.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin currently trades<\/a> at $88,590, up 1% on the day, with $36 billion in volume and a $1.76 trillion market cap as it hovers near recent weekly highs.<\/p>\n
