The latest acquisition was completed at an average price of $108,237 per Bitcoin. This represents a total investment of $238.7 million for the quarter’s purchase. The company’s aggregate Bitcoin investment now stands at $1.54 billion, with a blended average purchase price of $99,307 per BTC.
Metaplanet uses a custom metric called BTC Yield to measure shareholder value relative to share dilution. For the quarter ending June 30, the company reported a BTC Yield of 95.6%. This follows a 309.8% yield in the previous quarter.
The BTC Yield metric reflects the percentage change in Bitcoin holdings per fully diluted share. It isolates the effect of treasury actions on shareholder value. The company also tracks BTC Gain and BTC Yen Gain to provide investors with clearer performance metrics.
CEO Simon Gerovich confirmed the company’s commitment to continued Bitcoin accumulation. He stated that Metaplanet would never stop stacking Bitcoin as part of its high-yield acquisition strategy. The CEO celebrated the recent purchase as part of efforts to generate value for shareholders.
🌍 Shareholder update: As of the end of June, Metaplanet now has 128,073 shareholders—more than doubling in just 3 months.
