According to the press statement, the firm secured these assets at an average price of \u00a512,243,936 ($80,674) per Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Following this purchase, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gerovich\/status\/1891373285180309592\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have completed the first Bitcoin purchase of 2025. We believe this year will be an important one for our company. After a long break, we are glad to resume acquiring Bitcoin.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier this year, the firm revealed plans to hold at least 10,000 BTC by the end of the year and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026. To achieve this, the Japan-based firm plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/metaplanet-plans-745m-capital-raise-to-boost-bitcoin-holdings-amid-yen-decline\/\">raise 116 billion yen ($745 million) by issuing 21 million shares. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The company stated that these shares would be available under a 0% discount moving strike warrant structure, allowing investors to buy at a fixed price based on the previous day's closing stock price.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC yield<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Gerovich also reported that the firm has generated a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/microstrategys-bitcoin-strategy-yielded-14-billion-in-shareholder-value-in-2024\/\">BTC yield<\/a> of 15.3% since the start of the year. According to him, the firm has a quarterly target of 35%.<\/p>\n<p>The BTC yield is a key performance metric that reflects the percentage ratio of Bitcoin holdings to fully diluted shares over a specific period.<\/p>\n<p>Gerovich <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gerovich\/status\/1891388803270721732\">explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;BTC Yield serves the same role as EPS (Earnings Per Share) for Bitcoin treasury companies.
