Japan’s Metaplanet Ramps Up Bitcoin Holdings Again
Metaplanet, often referred to as “Japan’s MicroStrategy,” has continued its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy. The Tokyo-listed investment firm recently added another 103 BTC, valued at approximately $12 million, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 18,991 BTC.
This substantial holding, now estimated to be worth over $2.2 billion, cements Metaplanet as one of the most prominent public companies with a major Bitcoin treasury.
A Strategic Play on Digital Assets
Metaplanet has positioned itself as a long-term believer in Bitcoin’s role as a store of value. Its recent acquisitions come on the heels of other sizable purchases, including a 518 BTC buy worth $61 million earlier this quarter. The firm’s approach is being closely compared to that of MicroStrategy, the U.S.-based company known for pioneering corporate Bitcoin treasuries.
This latest purchase demonstrates Metaplanet’s continued conviction in Bitcoin, especially during periods of market consolidation. By buying the dip and holding for the long term, the company aims to hedge against inflation and diversify its treasury beyond yen-based reserves.
Institutional Confidence in Crypto Grows
Metaplanet’s move reflects a broader trend among institutional investors. Publicly traded companies are increasingly turning to Bitcoin as a treasury asset, recognizing its potential to outperform traditional fiat in the long run. The firm’s growing Bitcoin portfolio signals rising confidence in digital assets within traditional finance circles, especially in Japan.
As global macro uncertainty continues, companies like Metaplanet are using Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a strategic reserve asset—a trend that could accelerate if Bitcoin continues its upward momentum.
