In Q4 2024, the company recorded a BTC yield of 309.8%. Metaplanet shares surged 21.15% on Monday, closing at 4,010 yen. The broader crypto market rally contributed to the rise.
The company has been funding its Bitcoin acquisitions through bond issuances. In February, it issued 4 billion yen ($26.4 million) in zero-coupon bonds to EVO FUND. Metaplanet repaid 2 billion yen ahead of schedule by February 19, settling the remaining amount by February 21. On February 27, the company issued another 2 billion yen bond, set to mature on August 26, 2025.
Metaplanet Eyes Global Expansion

He stated that Metaplanet is exploring ways to make its shares more accessible to global investors. Metaplanet became the second publicly traded company to buy the Bitcoin dip.
The growing trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption has gained momentum. Companies are following the lead of MicroStrategy, which pioneered Bitcoin as a treasury asset. Crypto security firm Coinkite reported that 78 companies worldwide now hold Bitcoin in their corporate treasuries.
According to Dom Harz, co-founder of BOB, institutional Bitcoin adoption is accelerating. ETFs have played a key role in this trend. He suggested that corporations might eventually integrate Bitcoin into their core operations. Metaplanet continues to execute its long-term Bitcoin strategy, solidifying its position in the growing corporate adoption of digital assets.
