According to Bitcoin Treasuries, the first Bitcoin purchase occurred on April 23 with 97.85 Bitcoin, followed by an additional 19.87 Bitcoin on May 10. Metaplanet is currently the 30th largest institutional Bitcoin holder globally. Similar to the largest institutional Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy, Metaplanet reiterated on May 13 that it would adopt all capital market instruments to support its Bitcoin reserves. 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="japan-and-macroeconomic-issues">Japan and Macroeconomic Issues</h2> 
The firm adopts a hedging strategy against Japan’s worsening debt burden and rapidly depreciating Japanese Yen. Metaplanet stated that Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio of 261% is the worst among developed countries. 
The Japanese Yen has fallen nearly 35% against the US dollar since January 2021, while Bitcoin has risen almost 200% against the Yen in the last 12 months. However, this is still far below the 214,400 Bitcoin held by the firm operated by Michael Saylor, representing 1.02% of the approximately 21 million Bitcoin that will be in circulation. 
Metaplanet is currently only available on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, restricting access for US <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">investors</a>, but efforts are being made to change this.
