Japan’s Metaplanet purchased an additional 555 Bitcoin as part of its aggressive accumulation strategy, bringing its total holdings to 5,555 BTC, valued at over $536 million at current prices. On May 7, the Tokyo-listed firm disclosed that it spent $53.4 million acquiring 555 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $96,134. The company now holds 5,555 BTC, purchased for $481.5 million at an average price of $86,672 per Bitcoin, according to CEO Simon Gerovich. The company also announced the issuance of another $25 million in zero-coupon ordinary bonds to fund its ongoing BTC buys. Since early 2024, the firm has raised over 35 billion yen ($244 million) through zero-coupon bonds and stock acquisition rights via its partner, Evo Fund. The company’s proprietary key performance indicator, BTC Yield, has surged in recent quarters, reaching 309.8% in Q4 2024, 95.6% in Q1 2025, and 21% in the current quarter. “In Japanese, the number 5 is pronounced “Go,” so today we’re shouting: Go go go go — to the moon and beyond!” Gerovich said in a post on X.
