Metaplanet's Bitcoin strategy boosted its stock by 9%, with new $66K put options maturing in December 2024.
Metaplanet earned 5.90 BTC in premiums, raising its total Bitcoin holdings to 861.39 BTC, valued at $57.6M.
Despite risks, Metaplanet remains confident in its long-term Bitcoin growth, with a $6.9M BTC purchase in October 2024.
Metaplanet Inc. expanded the range of its Bitcoin alternatives in a well-thought-out move that has improved its standing in the industry and raised income. The Japanese company's new $66,000 strike price Bitcoin put options will mature in December 2024, taking the place of the prior $62,000 option. Investors reacted favorably to this move, increasing Metaplanet's stock price by 9%.
Increased Revenue and BTC Exposure
By collaborating with QCP Capital, Metaplanet earned an additional net premium of 5.90 BTC, which is valued at around JPY 57.9 million. Moreover, this transaction increases the firm's nominal yield on options by 2.65%, bringing the total yield to 13.4%.

Metaplanet is focused on taking advantage of Bitcoin's volatility as part of a larger strategy, all the while steadily growing its holdings of Bitcoin. Currently, the firm holds 861.39 BTC, worth approximately $57.6 million at current market prices.
Balancing Profit and Risk
However, while Metaplanet's strategy has delivered impressive short-term gains, it also carries risks. If Bitcoinâs price falls below $66,000 by the December 2024 expiration, the company may face financial exposure of around $892,000 beyond its current collateral. Despite this, Metaplanet remains confident in its long-term approach to Bitcoin accumulation.
Additionally, Metaplanetâs recent decision to roll up its options aligns with the growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, as evidenced by MicroStrategy's plan to become the largest Bitcoin bank. This surge in institutional interest has spurred optimism in the market, benefiting companies like Metaplanet.
A Positive Outlook Despite Volatility
Even with Bitcoin's recent volatility, investors are still bullish with it hitting a high of $67,881, analysts have even greater price predictions. November and December are predicted to see BTC reach $95,685 and $91,705, respectively. Hence, Metaplanet's strategic Bitcoin purchases, including a $6.9 million buy in October 2024, demonstrate the companyâs confidence in future market growth.
