Highlights:

• According to the statement, its BTC yield soared to 116.4% in October. 
• The pro-bitcoin Japanese firm followed MicroStategy’s steps to onboard this metric. 

Japanese-based firm Metaplanet has announced positive results from its Bitcoin strategy for the past months. In a new release to shareholders, the company disclosed a 116.4% yield from Oct 1 to Oct 25. This figure is a huge leap from a 41.7% yield from July 1 to Sept 30. Recent success comes following a renewed BTC holding strategy, which has increased its total numbers periodically. 

A New Key Performance Indicator

Metaplanet Inc. has adopted Bitcoin Yield as a key performance indicator (KPI). This metric would reflect the ratio over a period of time in the company’s fully diluted shares outstanding and total BTC holdings. The company drew inspiration from Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, the first company to use a metric. MicroStrategy has inspired several companies to acquire Bitcoin to diversify their portfolio. 

The metric would include the total number of issues of common shares with any additional shares from the exercise of stock options, acquisition rights, or convertible instruments issued by the company in the future. According to the release, BTC Yield will enable the company to assess the performance of its Bitcoin investment.

Metaplanet to Report Yield Alongside Bitcoin Purchases

Per the release, the company will report the BTC yield in its periodic disclosure on a quarterly or year-to-date (YTD) basis.

The company currently holds 861 BTC with a 116% yield this month. Metaplanet informed shareholders on ways to calculate the yield.

The company wrote:

“This comprehensive approach to calculating Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding allows for a holistic view of the Company’s potential share dilution, accounting for both current equity-based instruments and prospective convertible securities that may form part of our capital structure in due course.”

BTC Price Growth Boosts Metric

The price of the crypto market leader has rallied this month soaring on the Uptober momentum. At press time, BTC trades at $67,902 continuing its monthly climb as bulls set sights on future gains.
