Seeing Metaplanet's major increase in holdings of $BTC, I was truly shocked! However, it seems that today at 9:30, they have already entered the market. On June 16, the Tokyo-listed company Metaplanet directly invested $117.2 million, purchasing 1,112 BTC at a price of $105,435 each all at once. Now, their total amount of Bitcoin has reached 10,000, and considering previous investments, the total cost is approximately $947 million, with an average cost of $94,697 per coin.
It is important to note that since the beginning of this year, the price of Bitcoin has skyrocketed, and Metaplanet's investment demonstrates remarkable insight. By the halfway point of 2025, their return on investment in Bitcoin has reached 266.1%, equivalent to nearly tripling their principal. This not only showcases the company's strong confidence in the prospects of the cryptocurrency market but also indirectly indicates the rising value of Bitcoin in the eyes of institutional investors.
However, the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, with wild fluctuations being the norm. Metaplanet's large-scale increase in holdings raises the question of whether they are betting on Bitcoin's continued surge or if there are other strategies at play. The subsequent trends are definitely worth paying attention to, and I will keep a close eye on market dynamics.
