Metaplanet Intensifies Bitcoin Accumulation in April

In March, Metaplanet bought 1,115 Bitcoin via five different procurements. This month, the company has built on a consistent investment strategy with marked BTC acquisitions.

On April 1, Metaplanet bought 696 Bitcoin for $67.8 million. This purchase was followed up with another 160 Bitcoin acquisition worth $13.2 million on April 2. In January, Metaplanet’s CEO said the company’s long-term goal entails procuring 10,000 BTC by the end of this year and 21,000 by the end of 2026.

Meanwhile, Metaplanet reported significant gains from its Bitcoin investments earlier this month. According to the report, the company earned ¥770.31 million ($5.39 million) in revenues generated in 2025’s first quarter (Q1), marking an 11% increment from the figure reported in 2024’s Q1. The publication also noted that the investment firm generated the funds through structured cash-secured BTC put options. This strategy allows Metaplanet to earn a passive income from Bitcoin acquisitions.

Beyond acquiring 10,000 BTC by the end of this year, Metaplanet has set a ¥3 billion ($20.97 million) target for Bitcoin-related operations in 2025. The earnings from Q1 already accounted for 25.7% of this target, implying that the company is on track to meeting its target for the year.
