Updated: Jan 05 2026- Yen Financing Advantage: Metaplanet's strategy of utilizing yen-denominated financing reduces the real cost of Bitcoin exposure, providing a structural advantage compared to U.S. peers, especially as Bitcoin's return in yen terms reaches 1,704%.
- Bitcoin Holdings Growth: By Q4 2025, Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings surpassed 35,000, making it Asia's largest corporate holder and ranking fourth globally, demonstrating its strong position in the Bitcoin market.
- Optimized Financing Strategy: The company employs perpetual preferred shares with fixed coupons below 5% for Bitcoin accumulation, leveraging the trend of yen depreciation to lower repayment costs, thus achieving higher compounding effects during market upswings.
- Long-Term Growth Potential: Analysts view the ongoing weakness of the yen as a structural tailwind for Metaplanet, particularly if Bitcoin resumes an upward trend, further enhancing its competitiveness in the global market.
