As always, it might already exist in Org-mode/Emacs, but its easy to
implement anyway:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun tj/yank-folded-subtree ()
    (interactive)
    (save-excursion
      (yank '(4))
      (hide-subtree)))
#+end_src

#+results:
: tj/yank-folded-subtree

or a bit more convenient:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    (defun tj/kill-and-append-folded-subtree ()
      "Kill subtree at point and yank it folded at EOB."
      (interactive)
      (save-excursion
        (org-mark-subtree)
        (when (use-region-p)
          (kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end)))
        (goto-char (point-max))
        (unless (looking-at "^$") (newline))      
        (yank '(4))
        (hide-subtree)))
#+end_src

#+results:
: tj/kill-and-append-folded-subtree
