Japanese agency Metaplanet has acquired 555 Bitcoin value roughly ¥7.6 billion ($53.5 million), bringing its whole holdings to five,555 BTC as the worth continues its rally above $97,000. Following the acquisition, Metaplanet introduced plans to subject an extra ¥3.6 billion ($25 million) in zero-coupon bonds to EVO FUND for additional Bitcoin acquisitions.
The corporate now holds the biggest Bitcoin treasury amongst public corporations in Asia, with its whole holdings valued at roughly $537 million at present costs.
The aggressive accumulation technique mirrors Technique’s not too long ago introduced plans to boost $84 billion for Bitcoin purchases. Technique at the moment holds 555,450 BTC, although it has been surpassed by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Belief (IBIT), which now controls over 620,000 BTC value $58.5 billion.
Metaplanet’s shares responded positively to the announcement, closing up 11.45% at ¥477 on the Tokyo Inventory Alternate. The corporate has indicated that these purchases can have minimal influence on its consolidated monetary outcomes for fiscal 12 months 2025.
Bitcoin reacted to the US-China tariff information by climbing above $97,000, buying and selling at $97,018 at press time, up 3.38% over the previous 24 hours. The value surge comes amid robust institutional demand, with BlackRock’s IBIT recording inflows of 5,613 BTC ($529.5 million) on Monday alone.
The Japanese agency’s newest buy and bond issuance underscore the rising pattern of company Bitcoin adoption, as corporations more and more view Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset.
