Japan’s Metaplanet Increases Bitcoin Holdings By $2 Million, Here’s How Much BTC It Owns Now

Source Newsbtc

Japanese early-stage investment company Metaplanet purchased an additional $2 million worth of Bitcoin today, reaffirming the firm’s trust in the leading digital asset.

‘Japanese MicroStrategy’ Bolsters Its Bitcoin Reserves

In an announcement on September 10, 2024, Metaplanet said it had increased its cryptocurrency holdings by 38.464 BTC, bought for approximately 300 million yen ($2 million).

The latest purchase brings Metaplanet’s total holdings to 398.832, with a total aggregate cost of 3.75 billion yen ($26 million), averaging slightly above $65,700 per BTC.

Bitcoin price is up 3.4% in the past 24 hours, trading at $57,159 at press time. Notably, the US Federal Reserve is expected to embark on its rate-cut cycle next week, with many expecting the injection of liquidity into the economy to benefit risk-on assets such as Bitcoin.

According to data from Google Finance, Tokyo-listed Metaplanet’s stock was exchanging hands at 1101 yen ($7.7), surging by 5.87% in today’s trading session. On the contrary, the Nikkei 225 index dipped slightly by 0.16%.

Yesterday, Metaplanet disclosed that its management will exercise the 11th series of stock acquisition rights. The total proceeds from exercise warrants are expected to be around 299.7 million yen ($2.10 million). The company noted that these proceeds will be used to purchase more BTC.

Close followers of the crypto industry would remember that it was back in May 2024 when Metaplanet first made public its plans to embrace BTC as its strategic treasury reserve asset. At the time, the company emphasized its new “Bitcoin-first, Bitcoin-only approach,” akin to the strategy adopted by MicroStrategy.

In July 2024, Metaplanet increased its BTC holdings by 20.195, purchased at about $1.2 million according to prevailing market prices. Over the past few months, a series of Bitcoin purchases has brought Metaplanet’s total holdings to almost 400 BTC.

Following In The Footsteps Of MicroStrategy

Metaplanet’s decision to adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset isn’t a new practice among publicly listed companies. US-based MicroStrategy has championed Bitcoin’s reliability unlike any other institution.

On August 8, 2024, MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor revealed that he owns more than $1 billion worth of Bitcoin and has no plans to sell it anytime soon. According to the current market price, this is not to be confused with MicroStrategy’s own Bitcoin holdings of 226,500 BTC worth almost $13 billion.

Most recently, Saylor predicted that Bitcoin price could soar as high as $13 million per BTC by 2045. Given the reasoning behind this ambitious price target, Saylor said that currently, BTC only represents about 0.1% of the global capital. Once this proportion rises to 7%, BTC could be worth $13 million per unit.

That being said, it’s probably wise not to think too far ahead and consider some of the immediate challenges that Bitcoin might face. For instance, all eyes will be on the US Federal Reserve next week as there are fears that slashing the interest rates by too much, too quickly, might adversely affect BTC prices.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.
