During the latest announcement, the company also revealed its BTC Yield, a key performance indicator which calculates the ratio of Bitcoin accumulation to share dilution. Following a 309.8% yield in Q4 2024, Metaplanet’s current BTC yield from Jan. 1 to March 3, stands at 31.8%.
Metaplanet has been aggressively raising capital through bond issuances and stock purchase rights to fund its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. The company raised 4 billion yen ($26.4 million) on Feb. 2025, when it issued its 6th Series of Ordinary Bonds to EVO FUND.
