The company now holds the largest Bitcoin treasury among public companies in Asia, with its total holdings valued at approximately $537 million at current prices.<\/p>\n

The aggressive accumulation strategy mirrors Strategy\u2019s<\/a> recently announced plans to raise $84 billion for Bitcoin purchases. Strategy currently holds 555,450 BTC, though it has been surpassed by BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which now controls over 620,000 BTC worth $58.5 billion.<\/p>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s shares responded positively to the announcement, closing up 11.45% at \u00a5477 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The company has indicated that these purchases will have minimal impact on its consolidated financial results for fiscal year 2025.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin reacted to the US-China tariff news by climbing above $97,000, trading at $97,018 at press time, up 3.38% over the past 24 hours. The price surge comes amid strong institutional demand, with BlackRock\u2019s IBIT recording inflows of 5,613 BTC ($529.5 million) on Monday alone.<\/p>\n

The Japanese firm\u2019s latest purchase and bond issuance underscore the growing trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption, as companies increasingly view Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset.<\/p>\n
