Growing the Stash: Company-by-Company Breakdown
Strategy just recently bought 430 BTC for approximately $51.4 million ( $119,666 per BTC), bringing its total to 629,376 BTC; nearly 3% of the circulating supply. The company has reportedly invested over $46 billion at an average cost of $73,320, with an unrealized gain of more than $27 billion.
At the same time, Metaplanet also added 775 BTC ($93 million), lifting its holdings to 18,888 BTC, valued at around $1.9–2.2 billion. The latest purchase price was $120,006 per coin, making it one of the top Bitcoin treasuries in Asia.
Strategic Financing: Stock, Bonds & Yield Metrics
Strategy, under Michael Saylor, finances acquisitions mostly through equity issuance, balancing shareholder dilution with a rising ratio of Bitcoin to issued shares. Its $BTC yield, tracking BTC holdings relative to share dilution, stands at 25% year-to-date, showing how efficient the accumulation is.
Metaplanet has also used capital markets, issuing shares and bonds to fund purchases. Its $BTC Yield, a notable performance metric, went from 129% in Q2 to over 480% in August, demonstrating the growing per-share impact of its Bitcoin treasury.
Why Corporate Accumulation Matters
These big buying programs significantly reduce the amount of Bitcoin available to retail and institutional traders. Corporate Bitcoin accumulation is changing how markets price and access the asset. Experts think this will drive future $BTC scarcity narratives and prices as more companies follow. Bernstein Research predicts $330 billion in corporate demand by 2029.
Policy Changes: Strategy’s Accumulation Framework
Strategy recently updated its share issuance policy tied to net asset value (mNAV) multiples:
Above 4.0× mNAV: issue stock to buy BTC.
2.5–4.0× mNAV: opportunistic issuance.
Below 2.5× mNAV: issuance limited to debt servicing and dividends.
Below 1.0× mNAV: possible share buybacks using credit.
This tiered framework is a big change from the previous more conservative guidance on equity financing.
Experts Perspective
Experts call Metaplanet’s strategy a “Bitcoin gold rush”, aiming to hold over 210,000 BTC by 2027 using Bitcoin as collateral for future growth. CEO Simon Gerovich said they are long-term, and hence Bitcoin first.
Others also note that over 80 companies now reportedly have corporate Bitcoin treasuries, collectively holding 3.4% of the supply. As a result, it seems Strategy and Metaplanet are on the same path as global corporate demand.
Conclusion
Based on the latest research, corporate Bitcoin accumulation (Strategy and Metaplanet) is drying up market liquidity and changing $BTC’s valuation paradigm.
With combined holdings of 3.1% of supply and financing mechanisms tied to shareholder value, these companies are rewriting the playbook for 2025 Bitcoin treasury integration.
