Dubbed the ‘Japanese Microstrategy,’ Metaplanet made its ambitions clear long ago, announcing its strategy to leverage various financial instruments to expand its bitcoin reserves. So far, the firm has stuck to its word, steadily building its BTC treasure trove. On Oct. 10, 2024, Metaplanet took to the social media platform X to announce its latest bitcoin acquisition.

The firm invested ¥1 billion ($6.7 million) to secure 108.99 BTC. By Oct. 11, 2024, Metaplanet’s growing bitcoin stash reached 748.50 BTC, with its total value measured at $45.86 million on Friday. Metaplanet also detailed that out of the 748.50 BTC, it spent around ¥9,174,396 per coin, which equates to $61,542 per unit.

As Metaplanet continues to implement its strategy of expanding its bitcoin reserves, its actions reflect a strong belief in bitcoin’s long-term value. This recent acquisition not only bolsters its position but also signals to other market players the potential long-term benefits of similar investments. As Metaplanet’s BTC holdings grow, so too does its influence in the evolving digital currency and traditional finance (tradfi) space.
