Metaplanet Adds 330 BTC to Its Holdings as Bitcoin Breaks Through $87K

Metaplanet Boosts Bitcoin Holdings to Over 4,855 BTC as BTC Surges Past $87K

Metaplanet, a publicly traded Japanese company, revealed on Monday that it has expanded its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, acquiring an additional 330 BTC as the cryptocurrency climbs above $87,300, recovering from recent losses.

With this latest purchase, Metaplanet’s total BTC holdings now stand at 4,855 BTC, valued at more than $420 million based on current prices. This marks the third Bitcoin acquisition by the company this month, reinforcing its commitment to increasing its digital asset portfolio amidst a turbulent market. Earlier in April, Metaplanet also achieved the milestone of becoming the tenth-largest public Bitcoin holder.

Metaplanet isn’t the only company in Japan making big moves in the crypto space. Fashion company ANAP Holdings also joined the trend last week, purchasing around 16.66 BTC, worth roughly 200 million yen ($1.4 million). The cryptocurrency will be managed by ANAP’s subsidiary, ANAP Lightning Capital. The company has also outlined plans to conduct quarterly reviews of its Bitcoin holdings, with any fluctuations in value impacting its profit and loss reports.

ANAP’s Bitcoin yield stands at 12.1% for the current quarter, a marked decrease from the previous quarter’s 95% yield. The firm uses a proprietary metric, the “BTC Yield,” to evaluate the performance of its strategy, assessing Bitcoin growth per fully diluted share.

While traditional financial markets have struggled, with U.S. equities losing $5.4 trillion in value following President Trump’s announcement of new tariffs, Bitcoin has shown greater resilience. The cryptocurrency experienced a smaller drop of just 6%, signaling its potential as a safer asset in times of market instability.

Metaplanet’s stock has been performing well, with shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange up nearly 0.9% since market open, reflecting a positive investor outlook on its expanding Bitcoin holdings.
