Bitcoin as Metaplanet’s Primary Reserve Asset
Since 2024, publicly traded company Metaplanet has adopted Bitcoin (BTC) as its primary reserve asset. That decision has significantly strengthened its stock market performance. In addition, the company is expanding its digital asset holdings through a targeted capital-raising strategy.
Despite a recent 9% dip in Metaplanet’s share price, its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in Asia continues to grow stronger.
For example, the latest purchase has increased the company’s official BTC reserves to 3,350 BTC.
Metaplanet now ranks 10th among the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders. The company continues to pursue its long-term strategy, investing in Bitcoin as a core asset despite short-term market volatility.
