    Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has invested more of its company funds into buying 1,088 Bitcoin, bringing its total BTC holdings even closer to 9,000 BTC.

    According to the company notice, Metaplanet just spent around $117.7 million to purchase more BTC (BTC) for its holdings. On June 2, the Tokyo-based investment firm bought 1,088 BTC at an average price of $108,209.

    With its recent purchase, the company dubbed by many as the Japanese “Strategy” now holds 8,888 BTC which is equal to around $851 million according to market prices at the time of its latest purchase. According to Bitcoin Treasuries’ database, Metaplanet’s recent purchase has made it the 10th largest corporate BTC holder on the leaderboard.

    However, it still has a long way to go if it wants to catch up to Michael Saylor’s Strategy. Strategy currently occupies the top spot, with 580,250 BTC in total holdings.

    At press time, Bitcoin has gone up by 0.4% in the past 24 hours. It is currently trading hands at $104,848, noticeably around $4,600 lower than the purchase price Metaplanet opted for. In fact, its 24 hour peak still stood at $105,804.

    The largest cryptocurrency by value has accumulated a market cap of $2 trillion and a daily trading volume $18.6 billion. Today’s trading volume has seen a 15.3% increase compared to the previous day, indicating a rise in market activity.

    Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Yields

    Alongside the recent BTC purchase, Metaplanet provided updates on its BTC Yield metric. BTC Yield is used to calculate the period-over-period percentage ratio between the company’s Bitcoin Holdings and its fully diluted shares outstanding.

    Throughout 2025, the company’s BTC holdings generated the largest yield percentage during the first quarter of 2025, which ran from January 1 to March 31. During this period, the company saw its BTC Yield amount 95.6%. However, this marked a large departure from its previous BTC Yield at the end of 2024 which jumped as high as 309.8%.

    On the other hand, the BTC Yield recorded from April 1 to June 2 amounted to only 66.3%.

    Most recently, the company issued its largest set of 0% ordinary bonds to the venture capital EVO FUND. The bonds were worth a combined value of $50 million. According to the notice, the funds generated from the bond issuances would be used to buy more Bitcoin.
