Recently, Metaplanet has increased its investment in Bitcoin, which reminds me of the first time I bought cryptocurrency. Back then, I was optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term value, but I still felt a bit anxious, after all, it was real money.

Metaplanet's approach is actually very smart; they use Bitcoin as a tool to hedge against the depreciation of the yen. The yen has been continuously weak, and holding Bitcoin can effectively diversify risks, just like we often say, "don't put all your eggs in one basket." Moreover, with MicroStrategy's successful case in front of us, they have seen their stock price soar by holding a large amount of Bitcoin, with their market value multiplying several times. Metaplanet emulating this strategy can be considered standing on the shoulders of giants.

That being said, the charm of Bitcoin lies in its scarcity and decentralization. The total supply is only 21 million coins, and it is not controlled by any country or institution. In times of increasing uncertainty in the global economy, this characteristic becomes particularly important. Although prices are highly volatile in the short term, in the long run, quality assets will ultimately weather the bull and bear markets. Therefore, I remain confident in the future of Bitcoin and hope that Metaplanet can also reap substantial returns from it.
