The average purchase price for its 6,796 BTC now stands at $89,492 per BTC. This acquisition follows a series of purchases in 2025, including 319 BTC on April 14 for $26.3 million and 497 BTC on March 5 for $43.9 million, highlighting Metaplanet’s consistent accumulation strategy.The company also reported a BTC Yield of 38.0% for the first quarter of 2025 (January 1 to March 31), a key performance indicator that measures the percentage change in the ratio of Total Bitcoin Holdings to Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding. This metric reflects the net Bitcoin accretion, excluding dilution effects.

The firm has funded these acquisitions through strategic financing, including a $25 million interest-free bond issuance in 2025, signaling a long-term commitment to Bitcoin. This aggressive accumulation has significantly boosted its stock price, which surged over 15x in the past year, as reported by BeInCrypto on May 7, 2025.Surpassing El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings marks a symbolic milestone. El Salvador, which adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, has been a prominent national adopter of the cryptocurrency. Metaplanet’s 6,796 BTC, valued at approximately $656 million at Bitcoin’s current price of $96,600, highlights the scale of corporate adoption compared to state-led initiatives.The post Metaplanet Adds 1,241 BTC, Surpasses El Salvador’s Holdings appeared first on NFT Evening.
