Shift for Institutional Investors
Recently, more organizations have been actively adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets as part of a broader shift toward crypto-backed treasury strategies.
One example is Japan-based Metaplanet, which has adopted an aggressive Bitcoin acquisition approach. The company recently purchased an additional 1,088 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 8,888 BTC, surpassing Block Inc. to rank among the top ten corporate Bitcoin holders.
Metaplanet has achieved a 225% BTC yield year-to-date, including a 66.3% return in Q2 2025 alone. Its strategic moves, including an mNAV adjustment to 4.75, have driven a 155% increase in its stock price over the past month, underscoring its commitment to an all-in Bitcoin strategy.
The company also announced that it was securing $50 million by issuing zero-interest bonds, all of which are being acquired by Evo Fund, to expand its Bitcoin reserves.
Another example is Coinbase, which is targeting institutional investors with its recently launched Bitcoin Yield Fund. Designed to offer a stable entry point into crypto-based income strategies, the fund aims to deliver annual net returns of 4% to 8% on Bitcoin holdings.
With a focus on conservative yet consistent yields, Coinbase is positioning itself to meet growing institutional demand for structured Bitcoin investment opportunities.
