CEO Simon Gerovich reaffirmed the company’s long-term bullish stance on Bitcoin, emphasizing its role as a key treasury reserve asset. The filing also outlines how the company evaluates its Bitcoin holdings through its BTC Yield metric — a proprietary KPI that measures the ratio of Bitcoin held to shares outstanding over specific periods.
As Bitcoin trades above $105,000 at the time of writing, Metaplanet’s bet appears to be paying off, placing it among the largest public corporate holders of the digital asset in Asia.
