<p>Japan’s Metaplanet has been compared to the US company MicroStrategy due to the similar decision to adopt Bitcoin for long-term holding. The company was called Asia’s MicroStrategy by Jason Fang, founder of Sora Ventures.</p> 
<p>Metaplanet’s move was reportedly a direct response to sustained economic pressure in Japan.</p>
