- Metaplanet boosts Bitcoin holdings to 35,102 BTC with a $451M Q4 purchase.
- BTC Yield hits 568% YTD as the company resumes large-scale accumulation.
- The target of 210,000 BTC by 2027 reflects expanding long-term treasury goals.
Metaplanet restarted its Bitcoin accumulation in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a purchase of 4,279 BTC worth about $451 million. The move ended a pause that began in September and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to its treasury program. The purchase increased the firm’s total holdings to 35,102 BTC, valued at roughly $3.78 billion at prevailing market prices.
CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed the acquisition in an X post on Tuesday. He said the company bought 4,279 BTC at an average price of $105,412. He also reported a BTC Yield of 568% year to date in 2025. The BTC Yield metric measures Bitcoin accretion on a per-share basis.
Metaplanet Resumes Q4 Buying Amid Market Pullbacks
The fourth-quarter purchase marked a direct continuation of Metaplanet’s strategy. The pause in buying during September had prompted speculation about a slowdown. The new transaction showed a return to activity. It also aligned with market pullbacks that created opportunities for accumulation.
Strategy also made a Bitcoin purchase one day before Metaplanet. On December 29, Strategy announced it bought 1,229 BTC for around $108.8 million. The two firms have followed similar approaches in the past. Both issue yield-bearing securities. Both use raised capital to buy Bitcoin. Both keep reserves to support investor confidence.
In October, metaplanet strengthened its financing options. The company also announced a credit facility of 500 million dollars to help in a share buyback program. While, the facility has been deployed to fund several Bitcoin purchases. New shares to foreign investors were another capital raise by the firm.

Rising Demand In Japan Supports Expanding Bitcoin Treasury Goals
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $88,861. The price experienced an increment of 1.08% in 24 hours. Market capitalization was almost $1.77 trillion. Bitcoin was still down 6.03% year-to-date, despite the brief upsurge. The recession provided Metaplanet with an additional opportunity to accumulate assets.
The firm is still increasing its long-term treasury goals. Metaplanet will have approximately 210,000 BTC in 2027. Such a goal would make the firm one of the largest corporate Bitcoin owners in the world. However, the management reported that there was a constant demand for Bitcoin-related financial services in Japan. The increasing demand has facilitated the firm’s current strategy.
Metaplanet still aims to grow its Bitcoin reserves with the help of new capital tools and future purchases. While, the latest acquisition supports its long-term perspective. At the start of the new year, the company will continue to progress towards its goal.
