Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Treasury Swells to 5,000 BTC—Here’s Why Traders Are Paying Attention
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet just crossed a major milestone, amassing 5,000 BTC in its corporate treasury—a move that screams ’hedge against fiat’ louder than a Wall Street banker denies a recession. The strategic accumulation mirrors MicroStrategy’s playbook, doubling down on crypto as a reserve asset while traditional markets wobble. Critics call it a publicity stunt; bulls see a masterclass in asymmetric bets. Either way, the market’s watching—because when a firm hoards this much bitcoin, it’s either genius or desperation. (Spoiler: The suits still don’t get it.)
