That stash, purchased at an average price of $102,702.84 per coin, places Méliuz 36th globally among all listed companies that hold the largest cryptocurrency, the company said.
The company reported a BTC yield of 908%. The figure is a metric used to track its bitcoin per share that is commonly used among companies betting on a BTC-focused treasury, though companies may track the yield differently.
Méliuz’ yield is notable and ranks it among the largest among bitcoin treasury companies, with The Blockchain Group recently reporting a 1,173% BTC yield. Strategy (MSTR), the world’s largest bitcoin holder, reported a 19.1% year-to-date yield, while Metaplanet (3350) reported 266.07% and Semler Scientific (SMLR) 26.7%.
Méliuz’s shares were recently 0.15% higher. Year-to-date, they’re up nearly 160%.
