<p>Listed in Tokyo, the company <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-japanese-metaplanet-adopts-michael-saylors-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Metaplanet</a> recently made headlines by purchasing <strong>an additional 107.9 bitcoins</strong> for approximately $6.9 million. This purchase, made at an average price of $64,168 per Bitcoin, illustrates the company\’s confidence in this digital asset (despite the recent volatility of the crypto market).</p>

<p>Since the beginning of its accumulation strategy in May, Metaplanet has invested 4.75 billion yen to <strong>acquire more than 506 BTC</strong>. This initiative is part of a strategy to make Bitcoin a strategic treasury reserve. At the same time, other companies (such as <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/microstrategy-strengthens-its-bitcoin-holdings-with-805-million/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MicroStrategy</a>) have also accumulated thousands of BTC.</p> 
<h2 id="h-pourquoi-metaplanet-mise-t-elle-sur-le-bitcoin">Why is Metaplanet betting on Bitcoin?</h2> 
<p>Metaplanet\’s decision to increase its BTC reserves comes despite a slight drop in the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-markets/bitcoin-btc-en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price</a> of the leading crypto over the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $64,000.</p>

<p>Specifically, Metaplanet sees the potential of Bitcoin as <strong>a safe-haven asset</strong> in the face of economic uncertainty. With a still volatile market, this institutional investor seems to favor a long-term vision by accumulating BTC. A <a href="https://contents.xj-storage.jp/xcontents/33500/ca1e38f5/87c2/442b/834b/d036ade084ee/140120241001591835.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategy</a> perceived by some as a bold bet, but potentially lucrative if the crypto market returns to an upward trend.</p> 
<p>With this investment, Metaplanet <strong>joins other major bitcoin holders</strong>. These include:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li>MicroStrategy holding 252,220 BTC,</li> 
 <li><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-bitcoin-halving-threatens-small-miners-marathon-digital-at-the-forefront-of-solutions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marathon Digital</a> with 26,200 BTC.</li> 
</ul> 
<p>For Metaplanet, the goal is clear: to strengthen its position in the crypto market, with <strong>the hope of a substantial return on investment</strong>.</p> 
<p>In any case, Metaplanet\’s bet on Bitcoin shows a strong conviction in <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/here-is-the-real-impact-of-bitcoin-a-borderless-currency-for-a-freer-future/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the future</a> of this digital asset. It remains to be seen whether this bold choice will bear fruit in the long term!</p>
