Since beginning its Bitcoin purchases less than a year ago, Metaplanet has seen its BTC yield jump 468.1% year-to-date, nearly quintupling in value. This rapid growth follows a series of strategic purchases, including 518 BTC acquired at an average price of $118,519, pushing its total Bitcoin valuation to $2.18 billion at current market prices.
Strategic Expansion Through “Metaplanet Prefs”
Looking ahead, Metaplanet plans to launch Metaplanet Prefs, a Bitcoin-backed financial instrument aimed at creating a yield curve in Japan’s fixed-income market. This move seeks to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and the digital asset sector, potentially attracting more institutional investors into Bitcoin markets.
The initiative mirrors MicroStrategy’s playbook — using innovative financing to expand crypto reserves — while adapting it to Japan’s regulatory and investment landscape.

Metaplanet’s Q2 performance underscores the profitability of its Bitcoin-first treasury strategy. By expanding its holdings, introducing new Bitcoin-backed instruments, and bridging TradFi with crypto, the company is cementing itself as a leading institutional player in Asia’s digital asset space.
