Japanese Firm Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings, Stock Prices Surge
22.07.2024 16:00 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
Japanese company Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings by 20.8 BTC, valued around $1.27 million, reflecting the positive trends in the cryptocurrency market.
This latest acquisition raises Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin reserves to 245.99 BTC, worth approximately $15.5 million.
The firm had previously announced plans to buy Bitcoin worth 1 billion yen, utilizing capital from bond issuance.
This strategic move follows Metaplanet’s decision to use BTC as a treasury reserve asset due to Japan’s prolonged economic challenges, including high government debt and persistent negative interest rates.
Metaplanet’s stock has experienced a significant boost, climbing 20.69% following the recent Bitcoin purchase announcement.
The company’s stock has shown a 59% increase this week and an 84% rise over the past month, reflecting heightened interest in digital assets. Bitcoin’s price has also surged to $67,668, up 7.43% over the last week.
