#MetaplanetBTCPurchase The Japanese firm Metaplanet, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has caused a stir in the crypto ecosystem after announcing a significant new purchase of Bitcoin. The company revealed that it now holds more than 141 BTC, consolidating its strategy of adopting Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset, in a move reminiscent of MicroStrategy's approach in the U.S.

This recent acquisition reinforces BTC's role as a hedge against inflation and the weakness of the Japanese yen, especially in a context of negative real rates in Japan. The market received the news enthusiastically, and Metaplanet's shares rose by more than 10% following the announcement.
