According to ChainCatcher, Simon Gerovich, CEO of the Japanese listed company Metaplanet, stated that the company plans to use Bitcoin reserves to acquire cash-generating businesses, possibly including a Japanese digital bank. Currently, Metaplanet holds 15,555 BTC and plans to increase its holdings to 210,000 BTC by 2027. Gerovich likened this strategy to a "Bitcoin gold rush," emphasizing the need to establish an advantage through rapid accumulation before competition intensifies in the industry. Starting in 2024, the company will allocate Bitcoin as an anti-inflation asset and has now entered the second phase of its strategy, exploring new models for obtaining financing using Bitcoin as collateral.
