Bitcoin Key Indicators
One area of growth highlighted by the CEO was the size of Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings. The firm now holds the largest BTC stockpile in Asia and ranks tenth globally, just behind Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy, which recently acquired 6,556 BTC. Gerovich believes Metaplanet will reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
Metaplanet also tracks BTC yield to measure how effectively it’s acquiring Bitcoin relative to shareholder value. One key metric is BTC per share, which reflects how much Bitcoin each shareholder effectively owns.
According to Gerovich, this figure has increased by 119.3% since the start of the year, well above their 35% quarterly target, meaning shareholders have nearly doubled their Bitcoin exposure in 2024.
Gerovich stated that Metaplanet’s BTC holdings had increased, with the firm generating an additional 2,174 BTC, equivalent to 27 billion yen at current exchange rates.
Other Key Performance Indicators
Beyond Bitcoin-related metrics, Gerovich highlighted that Metaplanet’s shareholder base has grown significantly, from 10,000 in December 2011 to 65,000 in March 2013. He attributes this growth to the trust in Metaplanet’s strategies.
In his X post, Gerovich concluded by stating that the Bitcoin treasury has attracted more attention from institutional investors, and ETFs and indexes are now incorporating the shares.
The tweet follows Metaplanet’s recent acquisition of 330 BTC for $28.2 million on April 21, raising its total holdings to 4,855 BTC, solidifying its position as Asia’s largest and the world’s 10th-largest public Bitcoin holder.
