In addition, it could help boost the company’s drive to become the largest Bitcoin holder globally.
Strong BTC Yield Growth Drives Share Price Surge Amid Bitcoin Rally
Metaplanet tracks its investment progress using three key performance indicators: BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC ¥ Gain. BTC Yield checks whether investors are witnessing share growth by calculating the firm’s percentage increase in BTC holdings over a specific timeframe.
BTC Gain takes the company’s Bitcoin holdings at the start of a period and multiplies that by the BTC Yield, showing how much more coin the company would have gained if no new shares were issued. Notably, the company’s BTC Yield for the third quarter of last year was 41.7%. This figure stood at 309.8% and 95.6% in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025, respectively. From April 1 to May 7, 2025, the BTC Yield was 21.0%, showing strong and consistent growth in Bitcoin per share.
Following this news, MetaPlanet Inc. shares rose by 13.32% from the market opening price of ¥483. It ended the Japan Standard Time (JST) at ¥485 after briefly hitting a high of ¥502. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is changing hands at $96,929 following a 2.72% increase in the recent intraday outing. In the past month, the coin has seen 19 green days and trades near its cycle high of $97,754.
