Metaplanet, a leading corporate holder of Bitcoin in Japan, has notably added 797 BTC, valued at approximately $96 million, to its portfolio. This acquisition increases the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 16,352 BTC, worth nearly $2 billion.
Simon Gerovich, the CEO of Metaplanet, recently discussed the company’s strategy, indicating that it plans to utilize these extensive Bitcoin holdings as collateral to finance the acquisition of cash-generating companies in digital financial services.
Key Points:
- The latest purchase elevates Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin to 16,352 BTC.
- Gerovich stated the aim is to leverage their assets for further acquisitions.
Metaplanet’s strategy reflects a method similar to that of Strategy (MSTR), where they accumulate Bitcoin through equity and debt options and then use this base for broader fiscal growth.
