Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has continued its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy by purchasing an additional 150 BTC for approximately ¥1.88 billion ($12.6 million) on March 18, 2025.
This acquisition brings Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings to 3,200 BTC, currently valued at around $261.8 million.
This purchase aligns with Metaplanet’s long-term vision of using Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and positioning itself as Japan’s equivalent of MicroStrategy, a U.S.-based company known for its substantial Bitcoin investments. The firm aims to acquire 21,000 BTC by 2026.
Metaplanet’s strategic timing of this purchase during a market dip demonstrates growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. Japan has been gradually warming up to Bitcoin, with more firms integrating crypto into their financial strategies. Metaplanet’s move signals increasing corporate adoption in the country.
