Metaplanet Acquires Additional 330 BTC as Bitcoin Surpasses $87K, Total Holdings Exceed 4,855 BTC

Metaplanet, the publicly-listed Japanese company, revealed on Monday that it had purchased 330 more Bitcoin (BTC), bringing its total holdings to an impressive 4,855 BTC, valued at over $420 million at current prices. This move comes as Bitcoin prices surpass the $87,300 mark, recovering from last week’s losses.

The latest acquisition marks Metaplanet’s third Bitcoin purchase this month, despite broader market concerns related to tariffs and general market uncertainty. Earlier in April, Metaplanet became the tenth-largest public holder of Bitcoin, further solidifying its position in the digital asset space.

However, Metaplanet is not the only Japanese company turning to Bitcoin. Fashion brand ANAP Holdings also made headlines last week by purchasing approximately 16.66 BTC, valued at 200 million yen (around $1.4 million). These assets will be managed by ANAP’s subsidiary, ANAP Lightning Capital, which has committed to conducting quarterly assessments of its Bitcoin holdings. Any gains or losses will be reflected in the company’s profit and loss statements.

For ANAP, the firm’s Bitcoin yield for the quarter currently stands at 12.1%, compared to the significantly higher 95% yield from the previous quarter. The “BTC Yield” metric is a custom measure used by the company to evaluate Bitcoin performance relative to fully diluted shares.

In comparison to traditional markets, Bitcoin has fared better during periods of instability. The U.S. stock market saw a significant $5.4 trillion drop after President Trump’s tariff announcement, but Bitcoin only saw a 6% decline, highlighting its relative stability in volatile conditions.

Meanwhile, Metaplanet’s stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange has risen by nearly 0.9% since market open, reflecting growing investor confidence as the company increases its exposure to Bitcoin.
