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.
