#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Metaplanet, Japan’s hospitality‑turned‑crypto company, recently boosted its Bitcoin holdings by 1,112 BTC—spending ¥16.88 billion (~$117 million)—bringing its total to 10,000 BTC and surpassing Coinbase as the world’s seventh-largest public holder . The Tokyo‑based firm issued $210 million in zero‑interest bonds to fund further purchases, aiming to accumulate a staggering 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027 . Its stock rallied over 20% on the news, up more than 400% YTD . Backed by CEO Simon Gerovich and influenced by Michael Saylor’s “Strategy” model, Metaplanet is packaging Bitcoin exposure through corporate structure—offering investors easier access and tapping NAV premiums . This bold pivot marks a deepening trend: traditional firms treating BTC not as speculative, but as strategic balance‑sheet infrastructure.
