#FOMCMeeting 1. Japanese MicroStrategy Effect
The comparison with MicroStrategy is quite appropriate. Both companies:
Deviate from the traditional treasury management model.
Buy BTC as a store of value, not just as a speculative asset.
Encourage investors to reassess the role of Bitcoin as a corporate asset.
The 90% increase in Metaplanet's shares suggests that the market interprets this strategy as bold, but potentially profitable.

💴 2. Yen Depreciation and Value Protection
The Japanese economy has been facing a historic decline of the yen, especially against the dollar. In this context:
Metaplanet is protecting itself from currency inflation and the loss of purchasing power of its national currency.
BTC emerges as an alternative for protection ("hedge") against monetary depreciation, similar to digital gold.

🌏 3. Possible Asian Leadership
Japan is already a relatively open country to cryptocurrency regulation:
It has clear legislation regarding exchanges.
The regulatory environment is more stable than in other regions of Asia.
If more Japanese companies follow the example of Metaplanet, the country could become a leader in institutional adoption of crypto in Asia, similar to the role that the US plays in the West.

🧠 4. Strategic and Cultural Vision
The phrase “discipline, long term, and sovereign vision” summarizes the Japanese model well:
Metaplanet seems to think beyond short-term profits.
It is building a position in BTC with consistency and a focus on the future, something that could attract conservative institutional investors.
