Metaplanet has been on a never-ending buying spree of Bitcoin as it has been bolstering its stash of third largest cryptocurrency since May. The company’s most recent acquisition saw it purchase BTC at an average price of 9.19 million yen ($61,880), a piece of the digital currency, which is slightly less than its previous average of 9.32 million yen ($62,789%). All together,&nbsp; Metaplanet now has 639.503 BTC secured under its strategic treasury reserve. 
According to news sources, while the company further deepens its <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/319709/japans-metaplanet-buys-an-additional-6-7-million-in-bitcoin-raises-total-holdings-to-over-40-million" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">financial strategy</a> with Bitcoin, it has reportedly earned 23.972 BTC (approximately $1.52 million) by selling Bitcoin options and collecting premiums, all in the past week. Such actions underscore the company’s active use of its cryptocurrency assets to scale.

<h2 id="b-bitcoin-s-performance-and-market-impact-b">Bitcoin’s Performance and Market Impact&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2> 
This news of the firm Metaplanet acquiring even more Bitcoin, comes amidst increasing market demand for&nbsp; cryptocurrency. The impact of this buy on the market has been seen significantly. In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has not only climbed by almost 3%, it has now recovered from a low of just above $60,000 that it had touched last week. 
Speaking with officials, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich reiterated the need to increase the company’s Bitcoin reserve. He made it known that this Bitcoin acquisition&nbsp; strategy has provided a means to have this actualized without raising financial risks. 
Given the volatility of the market, such forward moves drives the market positively.&nbsp; Metaplanet being more attuned to Bitcoin has also arguably had a great effect on its stock. Following recent reports, the firm’s stock was up 11% on the market as at Monday, climbing as high as 1,017 yen. In line with this monumental bullish view of cryptocurrency investments is the Nikkei 225 index jumping up by 2.2% as well. 
<h2 id="b-competing-with-corporate-bitcoin-behemoths-b">Competing with Corporate Bitcoin Behemoths</h2> 
The company’s treasury management of Bitcoin is a big step in the corporate world, even though it lags behind some of the top guns. MicroStrategy this week again secured first place being the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin according to BitcoinTreasuries with 252,220&nbsp; Bitcoin Holdings. 
It should be noted that MicroStrategy is led by Michael Saylor, CEO. Marathon Digital, another heavyweight in the game, has 26,842 BTC on hand and recently raised $500 million dollars. Though much smaller, Metaplanet’s consistent buying is representative of a broader move by companies to diversify into digital holdings.

<h2 id="b-conclusion-a-strategic-bet-on-bitcoin-b">Conclusion: A Strategic Bet on Bitcoin</h2> 
Metaplanet’s unabated faith in Bitcoin to be increasingly more valuable in the coming year, also increasing its Bitcoin holdings speaks volumes. Bagging heavy investor confidence, the company has been able to see its stock price perform greatly in the recent past and Bitcoin has been growing as well, hence it can be said&nbsp; that the&nbsp; strategy of firms integrating Bitcoin into their Treasury reserves&nbsp; may have started&nbsp; bearing fruits. 
With Bitcoin looking to be a long-term fixture in the rapidly changing world of digital finance, Metaplanet could potentially see rapid growth.
