Metaplanet Consistent Bitcoin Strategy
The company has been following a strategy inspired by MicroStrategy, the US-based company known for its aggressive Bitcoin acquisitions. By adopting this approach, Metaplanet has consistently added to its Bitcoin reserves despite fluctuations in the market. The firm views Bitcoin as a key treasury asset, helping it navigate Japan’s ongoing economic challenges.
Earlier in September, Metaplanet partnered with SBI Group’s crypto investment arm to enhance its Bitcoin trading and custody services. This collaboration aims to ensure compliant corporate custody while leveraging tax efficiency and using Bitcoin as collateral.
With Japan's tax environment becoming more favorable, the firm hopes to attract domestic investors to its Bitcoin-focused strategy.
