Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain with $C^2$-smooth boundary in an $n$-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold. It is well-known that for the bi-harmonic equation $\Delta^2 u=0$ in $\Omega$ with the $0$-Dirichlet boundary condition, there exists an infinite set $\{u_k\}$ of biharmonic functions in $\Omega$ with positive eigenvalues $\{\lambda_k\}$ satisfying $\Delta u_k+ \lambda_k \varrho \frac{\partial u_k}{\partial \nu}=0$ on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. In this paper, by a new method we establish the Weyl-type asymptotic formula for the counting function of the biharmonic Stekloff eigenvalues $\lambda_k$.
