Metaplanet adds 136 BTC, lifting treasury to 20,136 coins
In a notice dated 8 September, the company updated its internal performance metrics. Metaplanet tracks “BTC Yield,” a measure of percentage change in bitcoin per fully diluted share across reporting periods. Management cited BTC Yield of 30.8% for 1 July to 8 September, following 129.4% in the prior quarter and 95.6% in the first quarter.
External market trackers framed the group’s 2025 year-to-date BTC Yield at about 487%, placing the company near the 500% threshold often referenced in commentary around corporate bitcoin treasuries. On current prices, the 20,136 BTC holding equates to more than $2bn in assets.
Company sets out funding steps as bitcoin price steadies above $111k
Metaplanet has remained active in capital markets alongside accumulation. The filing lists partial redemptions of its 19th straight bond during July to early September and a sequence of warrant exercises through the summer months. Separately, shareholders recently approved additional funding tools to support continued bitcoin purchases.
Bitcoin itself has edged back above $111,000. Market data show the token trading around that level today after a brief pullback earlier in the month. The rebound coincided with fresh corporate treasury disclosures and a weekend post by Michael Saylor, executive chair of MicroStrategy, who wrote “Needs More Orange” in a message followed closely by bitcoin traders.
