An investment firm based in Tokyo announced on Monday that it has acquired an additional 150 bitcoin (BTC), bringing its total holdings to 3,350 BTC, which is roughly valued at $291 million according to current market figures.
This acquisition occurred shortly after the company appointed Eric Trump, the son of U.S. President Donald Trump, to its newly established strategic advisory board. His involvement is anticipated to lend a prominent perspective to the firm’s objectives.
The firm aims to enhance shareholder value by purchasing and retaining bitcoin and employs a metric called BTC Yield to assess the effectiveness of this strategy.
BTC Yield reflects the percentage change in the amount of Bitcoin held versus the total number of shares over a specific timeframe. Between July and September 2024, their BTC Yield was 41.7%, indicating a steady increase in their bitcoin holdings relative to shares. Subsequently, from October to December 2024, it soared to 309.8% due to substantial purchases of bitcoin during a price surge.
In the year 2025, spanning from January 1 to March 24, the firm has reported a BTC Yield of 68.3%, based on recent documents.
