Metaplanet Outflanks El Salvador’s Bitcoin Treasury with 6,796 BTC Hoard
Move over, nation-states—Tokyo-listed Metaplanet just lapped El Salvador’s Bitcoin reserves. The investment firm’s 6,796 BTC stash (worth ~$475M at press time) now dwarfs the Central American country’s 5,690 BTC.
Why it matters: When corporations accumulate faster than sovereign adopters, it flips the crypto-adoption narrative on its head. Cue the ’number go up’ memes.
The fine print: Unlike El Salvador’s legally-mandated Bitcoin gambit, Metaplanet’s holdings are a pure hedge against Japan’s crushing debt—because nothing says ’responsible fiscal policy’ like betting on volatile crypto assets.
