Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings, Achieves 487% Year-to-Date Gain

Throughout 2025, Metaplanet has steadily expanded its Bitcoin holdings, rising from just above 12,000 BTC in late June to 20,136 BTC by September 8. This recent increase has pushed the company’s year-to-date Bitcoin returns to an impressive 487%. “The company uses BTC Yield to assess the performance of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, which is intended to be accretive to shareholders,” Metaplanet noted. 

Between July 1 and September 8, the company recorded a Bitcoin yield of 30.8%, which highlights its aggressive acquisition strategy. This gain is calculated by multiplying Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings at the start of the period by the yield achieved during that time.

Metaplanet shareholders also approved issuing up to 550 million new shares abroad, valued at $884 million. The capital will help Metaplanet increase and strengthen its Bitcoin holdings. CEO Simon Gerovich called the move an important step to improve governance and back the company’s aggressive Bitcoin growth strategy. Metaplanet’s steady Bitcoin buying makes it one of Asia’s most aggressive corporate investors. The company focuses on growing its treasury to reduce dilution and improve shareholder returns.

Eric Trump Confirms Involvement Only with Metaplanet

Metaplanet’s strong Bitcoin performance comes amid public attention from high-profile figures. On September 8, Eric Trump took to X to clarify that his involvement is limited to Metaplanet, also called Asia’s Strategy, stating, “Metaplanet is the only company I am aligned with in the region.”

A photo of Eric with the president of ABC (formerly GFA) circulated within Japan’s investment community, fueling speculation about his ties to ABC. This led foreign investors to buy ABC shares, believing the stock was likely to surge. GFA stock dropped 17.79% to 462 JPY on Monday. The 24-hour range was 462–630 JPY. Eric Trump previously joined Metaplanet as a strategic advisor, Japan’s biggest corporate Bitcoin holder. He also participated in last week’s shareholder meeting.

I don’t know who this is, nor do I have ANY involvement in this company. This was a picture from a conference when I was in Asia. If someone is representing that I’m involved in this company, let me be clear – I am not. @Metaplanet_JP is the only company I am aligned with in the…
