<p>The continuation of the high interest rates by the Federal Reserve has dealt a major blow to the Japanese Yen making it one of the worst-performing currencies in the world. With Japan’s fiat currency under major stress, we can see more private firms join <a href="https://coingape.com/metaplanet-creates-offshore-arm-for-enhanced-bitcoin-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Metaplanet</a> in adopting a sound Bitcoin strategy and holding BTC as part of its reserves.</p>

<p>Earlier today, the Japanese Yen dropped to ¥160.8 against the USD, its weakest level since 1986. Interestingly, the data shows that even the Turkish Lira, Argentine Peso, and Brazilian Real are performing better than the Yen.</p>

<p>Just in the last four years since June 2020, the Japanese Yen has crashed 34% against the USD. This is pretty unusual and concerning, especially for a developed country’s currency. Earlier this year in April and May, Japanese authorities spent $62 billion in the foreign exchange market to bolster the yen and prevent it from dropping below the 160 level. Despite having a temporary impact, the Yen has even slipped under the threshold.</p> 
<p>Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is already making a shift in tune with the macro developments. Following a path similar to MicroStrategy, Metaplanet recently announced $7 million worth of <a href="https://coingape.com/metaplanet-to-buy-7m-bitcoin-using-bond-sales-following-microstrategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin purchase</a> through a bond sale.</p>

<p>Market analysts have expressed concerns about the Bank of Japan’s monetary decision and the printing of the Japanese Yen. Market analysts suggest that with excess printing of fiat currency, Japan should be secretly buying Bitcoin, in order to protect themselves from this currency collapse.</p>

<p>It will interesting to see if Japan can draw a leaf from <a href="https://coingape.com/argentina-takes-the-el-salvador-route-president-javier-milei-promotes-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">El Salvador</a>‘s playbook and adopt a long-term Bitcoin strategy.&nbsp; If so, this could be a major step for the world’s fourth-largest economy.</p>
