#MetaplanetBTCPurchase The hashtag #MetaplanetBTCPurchase refers to recent events where Metaplanet Inc., a Japanese publicly listed company, purchased Bitcoin (BTC) as part of its treasury reserve strategyโ€”a move similar to what MicroStrategy did in the U.S.

๐Ÿง  Key Highlights:

Who? Metaplanet Inc., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

What? Started acquiring Bitcoin for its corporate treasury.

Why? Citing BTC as a hedge against inflation, currency devaluation (especially the weak yen), and economic uncertainty.

Impact?

The companyโ€™s stock price surged after the announcement.

Itโ€™s seen as the first Japanese firm to adopt a Bitcoin-centric treasury strategy.

It may inspire other Asian firms to follow suit, especially with Japanโ€™s ultra-loose monetary policy.

๐Ÿ“Š Details:

Initial purchase: ~117 million yen worth of Bitcoin (around $750K USD at the time).

Declared plans to continue purchasing BTC periodically.

Announced publicly in alignment with a pro-Bitcoin stance.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Why This Matters:

This move contributes to the institutional adoption narrative of Bitcoin and shows a global shift in corporate finance, especially in regions traditionally conservative about crypto assets.
