Asia's MicroStrategy, Metaplanet Inc., has made headlines by acquiring over&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/metaplanet-buys-additional-y500-million-worth-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">360 bitcoins</a> worth approximately $21 million. The firm's strategy centers around leveraging Bitcoin as a primary financial asset, particularly in response to Japan’s economic challenges, such as the yen's depreciation.
&nbsp;
The partnership with SBI Group, which operates through its fully licensed crypto trading platform, SBI VC Trade, will provide Metaplanet with crucial support in trading, storage, and operational management of its Bitcoin assets.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Per reports, SBI VC Trade, regulated by Japan’s Financial Services Agency, is dedicated to institutional clients, offering services that align with Metaplanet’s corporate Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

One of the key benefits of this collaboration is Metaplanet's access to SBI’s corporate custody services, which focus on compliance and tax efficiency.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The custody services will reportedly provide a secure and compliant environment for storing Bitcoin, ensuring that Metaplanet’s assets are protected under Japan’s stringent regulatory framework.
&nbsp;
Moreover, Metaplanet plans to utilize Bitcoin as collateral for financing, a strategy that could offer the firm additional financial flexibility. Using Bitcoin in this manner, Metaplanet intends to increase its liquidity while maintaining its long-term goal of accumulating Bitcoin as a core asset over time.
&nbsp;
