According to Metaplanet, it acquired 38.464 BTC at an average of ¥7,799,501. With this latest investment, the company’s total holdings now stand at 398.832 BTC, demonstrating its sustained dedication to being part of the expanding digital asset market.
With the recent acquisition, the firm has now bought ¥3.75 billion worth of Bitcoin at an average acquisition price of ¥9,402,463 per BTC. The move reiterates the firm’s belief in the flagship digital asset despite its volatile market and the constantly changing regulatory landscape for this industry.
Furthermore, the Japanese firm’s BTC acquisition spree mirrors that of the US-based MicroStrategy, which boasts over $14 billion worth of BTC reserves. In addition, the company’s position on cryptocurrency investments is part of its long-term diversification strategy, which focuses on accumulating high-worth crypto coins.
Considering the crypto’s recent asset price swings, Metaplanet’s newest acquisition suggests the firm’s continued faith in Bitcoin’s potential as a haven investment over the long term. Moreover, the company’s large Bitcoin holdings will likely appeal to a wider range of tech-savvy investors.
Metaplanet’s ongoing investment highlights the increasing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies. Even though several mainstream firms like Metaplanet and MicroStrategy are confident of the Bitcoin market’s potential for long-term growth, others are still cautious and have been reluctant to invest in it.
