The National Bitcoin Office data reveals that El Salvador has 6,714 Bitcoins worth $642 million, which makes it the sixth-largest nation-state holder of BTC. Before this purchase, the firm had made one purchase this month, four purchases last month, and six purchases in March, totaling 5,555 BTC, 18,586 BTC, and 18,925 BTC, respectively. The BiTBO report suggests that Metaplanet is the biggest Bitcoin holder in Asia and the tenth biggest on a global level. The leading position is held by MicroStrategy, which holds around 555,450 BTC whose worth is estimated $57.8 billion as per the current price. Metaplanet also listed a Bitcoin Yield, which is responsible for measuring the ratio of percentage change in Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share, of 38% for the recent quarter to date. In Q1 of 2025, the company had listed a BTC Yield of around 95.6%.
