As of July 14, the company’s cumulative Bitcoin investment stands at ¥239.6 billion, with an average acquisition price of ¥14.6 million per coin.

This sustained accumulation is being funded through a combination of capital market activities and operating revenue. Just days earlier, Metaplanet redeemed ¥6 billion from its 19th Series Bonds issued to EVOFUND, financed by stock acquisition rights exercises.
Metaplanet also provided updated figures for its proprietary performance indicators—BTC Yield, BTC Gain, and BTC ¥ Gain—which track Bitcoin per share dilution, strategic accumulation efficiency, and hypothetical yen-denominated returns. Between April and June 2025, the company recorded a BTC Yield of 129.4%, signalling aggressive growth in BTC per fully diluted share. For the first two weeks of July alone, yield reached 19.4%, resulting in an additional 2,590 BTC in theoretical BTC Gain.
Management emphasized that while the KPIs don’t reflect cash flow or traditional profitability, they illustrate the firm’s core thesis: long-term Bitcoin accumulation can enhance per-share value in a way conventional capital allocation may not.
Underscoring market interest in its strategy, Metaplanet has also seen a surge in trading volume on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. According to data reported by Reuters, the company recorded ¥1.86 trillion ($12.87 billion) in trading volume during June, nearly double the ¥997.6 billion ($6.82 billion) recorded in May. This uptick reflects growing investor interest tied to its bold positioning in the digital asset sector.

Apple Pre-sale Tracker: iPhone 18 Pro Series Shows Weak Overseas Demand Signals, Duo Review Positive but Hardware Lags Behind
According to a survey by Jefferies, after the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, delivery wait times in the four major markets—the US, UK, Germany, and Japan—have shortened by 5 to 11 days compared to last year, with no wait time in the US. Given stable production capacity, this is a clear sign of weak demand. Although the China and Hong Kong markets have performed better against the trend, there are still suspicions of speculative stockpiling. The new foldable Duo has been praised for its software experience, but its $2,000 price tag comes with a 254-gram body and dual-camera setup, leaving its hardware lagging significantly behind Android competitors. Jefferies maintains an "underperform" rating, with a target price implying a 21% downside from the current level.
