Metaplanet Goes Full Crypto Degen: Scoops Up 555 More BTC, Hits 5,555 Bitcoin Stash
Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet just doubled down on its bitcoin bet—adding 555 BTC to its treasury in a single move. Total holdings now stand at a meme-worthy 5,555 BTC (~$350M at current prices).
Why it matters: This makes them one of Asia’s most aggressive corporate BTC adopters, outflanking even MicroStrategy’s early moves. The purchase comes as Japan’s yen continues its slow-motion collapse against hard assets.
The cynical take: Nothing says ’conviction play’ like round-number accumulation that looks great in press releases. But with Japan’s negative-rate quagmire, can you blame them for fleeing to digital gold?
