Holy Smokes! Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Bonanza! 🤑

by

Well, I’ll be hornswoggled! Metaplanet, that spunky bunch of digital cowboys, just lassoed themselves another 150 Bitcoin! That’s right, 150! At a paltry ¥12.57 million ($80,000) a pop, mind you. A mere pittance, really. They’re practically giving the stuff away! 😂 Their total haul now? A whopping 3,350 BTC! 💰

According to their official pronouncements (and who am I to doubt a press release?), this brings their grand total to a staggering ¥42.22 billion ($270 million). They’ve become the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia. Fancy that! They’re practically swimming in satoshis! 🐳

Now, how did they manage this financial wizardry, you ask? Why, with the magic of stock acquisition rights and zero-coupon bonds, of course! ✨ They’re like financial ninjas, silently accumulating Bitcoin while the rest of us are fumbling with our change. In March alone, they redeemed and raised ¥2 billion ($12.8 million) in bonds – twice! – all without drowning in debt interest. It’s enough to make a grown man weep with envy (or perhaps just chuckle at their audacity). 😉

Their secret weapon? A metric they call “BTC Yield,” which measures the percentage increase in BTC holdings compared to their fully diluted shares. It skyrocketed 309.8% in Q4 2024 and is already at 68.3% for Q1 2025! 🚀 Meanwhile, since they started their Bitcoin binge in April 2024, Metaplanet’s stock price has exploded by over 3,000%! Investors are clearly smitten. Maybe they should start a fan club? 🤔

Oh, and did I mention that on March 21st, they added Eric Trump to their advisory board? Yessir, the man himself. A real estate and finance whiz, he’ll surely lend his expertise to their quest to become the ultimate Bitcoin Treasury Company. Sounds like a sure-fire recipe for success (or at least some interesting headlines). 🍿

Metaplanet’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, says the board will be filled with influential folks dedicated to Bitcoin adoption. They haven’t spilled all the beans about Trump’s role, but it’s all part of their plan to attract top-tier talent. Just imagine the brainstorming sessions! 🤯
