Metaplanet President Simon Gerovich announced on X that Metaplanet has achieved a 480.2% year-to-date BTC yield in 2025.
The company’s stock has been rising alongside its growing Bitcoin yield, suggesting investor confidence in its Bitcoin-centric strategy. At the time of publication, shares reached 900 yen, up by around 300% in the past six months.
The announcement came shortly after Metaplanet’s Q2 earnings report, which highlighted revenue growth of 41% quarter-on-quarter, reaching $8.4 million.
Much of Metaplanet’s success is attributed to its steady accumulation of Bitcoin and innovative financial initiatives. The firm plans to hold 30,000 BTC by the year-end and 1% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2027.
Notably, the crypto market has recently recorded a significant growth in corporate Bitcoin adoption. As per the data by BitboTreasuries, publicly traded firms collectively hold over 935,000 BTC, or about 4.45% of the total BTC supply.
MicroStrategy, now rebranded as “Strategy,” leads the pack, holding a total of 628,946 BTC.

Captain Faibik also hinted at a deeper breakdown near $105,000–$108,000 in case of high selling pressure around support. In a worst-case bearish flush, Bitcoin could revisit the $98,000–$100,000 psychological level, according to them.
Bitcoin is currently facing heightened volatility after failing to hold the key $118,000 level. It is trading around $115,200, down 2.45% over the past 24 hours.
While corporate Bitcoin treasuries continue to grow, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is getting popular as its ongoing crypto presale gathers momentum.
Bitcoin Hyper is designed to address some of Bitcoin’s most common hurdles, including slow transaction throughput, high fees, and the lack of built-in smart contract support. The project’s goal is to enhance scalability within the BTC ecosystem through a specialized, high-performance Layer 2 infrastructure.
Its design channels transactions through an enhanced virtual machine, enabling faster and cheaper execution before finalizing settlement on Bitcoin’s base layer for security. This dual-layer approach allows Bitcoin Hyper to combine efficiency with the trust of the Bitcoin network.
The HYPER token serves as the network’s utility asset, covering transaction costs and enabling staking opportunities. It also unlocks access to advanced features within the ecosystem, making it central to Bitcoin Hyper’s functionality.
At the time of writing, HYPER tokens are available at $0.012745 during the presale, offering an early entry point for backers ahead of the next price adjustment. To date, the project has successfully raised over $10 million, reflecting strong investor interest.
Token Snapshot:
With only a few hours left before the crypto presale price surges, interested buyers may secure HYPER tokens directly through the official Bitcoin Hyper website.
