#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Metaplanet, often dubbed “Japan’s MicroStrategy,” announced a new Bitcoin purchase of 250 million yen (~$1.6 million USD) worth of BTC.

This brings its total holdings to 203.734 BTC.

The company is publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) and has shifted its treasury strategy to accumulate Bitcoin as a hedge against Japan’s debt and currency risks (especially the weakening yen).

📈 Key Background

First purchase: In April 2024, Metaplanet announced Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, citing macroeconomic instability.

Since then, it has made regular BTC purchases, mirroring the approach taken by MicroStrategy in the U.S.

The move has significantly boosted investor interest, especially among crypto-aligned investors in Asia.

💬 Company Statement

Metaplanet said this purchase is “part of our long-term corporate strategy to strengthen our balance sheet and align with future-focused financial infrastructure.”
