Japanese firm Metaplanet has been following the footsteps of MicroStrategy for its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. This has resulted in a massive gain in its BTC yield which has led to its valuation nearly double since the beginning of the year. After adding Bitcoin to their treasury back in September 2020, the MSTR stock price has rallied by a staggering 2200%. Thus, the Japanese company could see a similar stock rally, if it continues to hold and add BTC in upcoming market cycles.
Metaplanet Bitcoin Holdings and Stock Action
Earlier this year in April 2024, the Japanese firm announced its BTC strategy for the very first time. Since May, it has been purchasing Bitcoins consistently every single week while taking its BTC holdings to more than 1,000.
In the last six months, the Metaplanet stock has surged by a staggering 500% all the way to 1,800 JPY, as a result of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy. Company CEO Simon Gerovich said:
“As of today, Metaplanet’s valuation gain on its Bitcoin holdings is JPY 4.27 billion ($28 million). This gain is larger than our entire market cap at the beginning of the year”.
Renowned Bitcoin Core developer Adam Back has also disclosed an investment in Japan-based Metaplanet (TYO:3350). According to Back, Metaplanet’s market cap fluctuates between 5-7 times the value of its Bitcoin holdings, amplifying its treasury’s impact on market valuation. Additionally, Metaplanet generates yield by selling out-of-the-money Bitcoin options, enhancing its return strategy.
Back noted the company’s BTC growth over the past six months, emphasizing that the combination of volatile market cap ratios and strategic options selling is creating attractive outcomes for shareholders.
Clocking the BTC Yield of 155%
Metaplanet has recently released its Q3 Financial data reporting a BTC yield for the last quarter at a staggering 155%. The Japanese firm has introduced BTC Yield as a primary performance indicator (KPI) to gauge the effectiveness of its Bitcoin acquisition strategy and the benefits it brings to shareholders.
As per the firm, this KPI will help to enhance investor understanding of its funding strategy, particularly in scenarios where Metaplanet may choose to finance additional Bitcoin purchases by issuing common stock or convertible securities.
Recently, MicroStrategy also reported its Bitcoin purchases while reporting a BTC yield of 26% so far in 2024. Thus, if Metaplanet continues to follow the path of MicroStrategy, investors can see a very healthy appreciation in its stock price in the coming years.
With Donald Trump being the next US President and resuming office in January 2025, investors see a bright future for BTC. Thus, more and more corporations are likely to add Bitcoin as part of the company’s Treasuries.
