Japan’s MicroStrategy Buys More Bitcoin

As a seasoned investor with a keen eye for potential opportunities, I find the strategic moves of Metaplanet highly intriguing. This Japanese company, once teetering on the brink of failure managing low-cost hotels, has now transformed itself into a significant player in the Bitcoin market. Their latest purchase of 38.464 BTC for approximately $2 million is yet another testament to their forward-thinking approach.


According to a recent statement, the Japanese public company Metaplanet has continued its investment in Bitcoin by increasing its purchases.

The company has bought an additional 38.464 BTC for ¥300 million (roughly $2 million at press time). 

According to a report from U.Today, it was previously disclosed that Metaplanet made its Bitcoin purchase on August 20th in the past.

The cryptocurrency-friendly now holds 398.832 Bitcoins.
