Metaplanet still emphasizes BTC Yield as one of the main indicators in its reporting. BTC Yield follows the percentage change of the ratio of total BTC ownership to fully diluted shares outstanding, over a specific period of time. As per BTC Yield, between July and September 2024, the company reported that it was 41.7%. The figure increased tremendously to 309.8% from October to December of the same year. The measure was 95.6% in the first quarter of 2025 and then increased to 129.4% in the second quarter. In the present reporting period, which is July 1-September 22, 2025, BTC Yield has been established to be at 10.3%.
The company also tracks BTC Gain, the theoretical growth in the total holdings, assuming no new stock is issued, which decouples the impact of its treasury actions from the dilution of the shareholding. Meanwhile, BTC ¥ Gain defines this increase in terms of yen by multiplying the BTC Gain by the current market price and provides a localized perspective of financial interest.
What’s Happening with BTC Price?
The acquisition is also accompanied by a time of concentration within the Bitcoin market. During the last week, the asset ranged between $114,724 at the lowest and $117,998 at the highest point. Friday, the prices dropped by 1.22%, and settled at $115,690. Saturday saw a slight recovery, and then the market reverted downwards on Sunday and the asset has closed at just above $115,000.
Volatility is still mostly caused by macroeconomic events. An unwind of a possible yen carry trade looms over the markets as the markets anticipate the Bank of Japan to increase its rates in October. Meanwhile, the Federal Open Market Committee has also indicated that it would further cut the rate twice in the United States by the end of the year. Even a small change in the yield curve between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen might create momentum for the rise of the yen, which consequently would compel traders to reduce leveraged positions in the risk assets, which will impact flows in the international markets.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin has been lucky to experience institutional inflows. The three weeks of net inflows recorded by U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Farside Investors stated that inflows reached up to $886.5 million in the last week, which pushed total inflows in September to reach $3.46 billion.
The push-pull dynamics of the market may be demonstrated by trade sessions of the last few days. Last weekend, BTC completed 0.49% up in the price of 116,106. It fell then to lower on Saturday and recorded a 0.56 percent decrease on Sunday to trade at $115,314. Monday saw a jump in prices up to an intraday high level of $116,802 and a closing price of $115,381. Tuesday gave a 1.25% gain to $116,832, and Wednesday the trading gave a sharp fall to $114,724, with a recovery to close at $116,484, which is a 0.30% loss per day.
