Bitcoin

<p>Every passing week, Japan’s public-listed firms continue to add more and more Bitcoins to their stash. Making the most of this Bitcoin price dip, Metaplanet purchased an additional 42.47 Bitcoins worth 400 million yen or 2.42 million USD. Interestingly, the Bitcoin purchase comes as the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC price</a> crashed under $54,500 earlier today.</p>

<p>The Japanese firm Metplanet has made a strong pivot by adopting a Bitcoin accumulation strategy. As a result, it is also popularly referred to as the MicroStrategy of Japan. Metaplanet is expanding its <a href="https://coingape.com/metaplanet-creates-offshore-arm-for-enhanced-bitcoin-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin investment strategy</a> by establishing a new subsidiary in the British Virgin Islands. This move aims to bolster its position in the cryptocurrency market and increase its Bitcoin reserves as part of its long-term financial strategy.</p>

<p>Dylan LeClair, the Director of Bitcoin Strategy at Metaplanet, is the braid behind all these bold moves. In one of these latest podcasts, Leclair said: “Japan’s favorable environment for Bitcoin adoption presents a unique opportunity for corporate strategy and growth”.&nbsp; Furthermore, LeClair is also gaining popularity as the ‘Michael Saylor’ of Metaplanet.</p>
