Metaplanet Doubles Down: Snaps Up 1,234 BTC in Bold Move—Now Holds 12,345 Bitcoin
Tokyo’s Metaplanet just fired another shot across the bow of traditional finance—loading up on 1,234 BTC this week. Their cold wallet now bulges with 12,345 bitcoin, a stash worth roughly $420 million at today’s prices (not that fiat valuations matter to true believers).
Why it matters: While Wall Street hedge funds fret over basis points, this publicly traded firm keeps treating BTC like a corporate treasury black hole—sucking in coins while short-sellers weep.
The kicker: Someone check on Jamie Dimon’s blood pressure. Every institutional buyer chips away at the 'tulip mania' narrative—though Goldman Sachs will probably launch a 'digital asset advisory division' next week to cash in anyway.
Asia’s MicroStrategy Metaplanet Inc. has acquired 1,234 BTC for $132.7 million. With the latest purchase, the company has increased its Bitcoin holdings to 12,345 BTC and flipped Tesla to become the 7th largest Bitcoin holder.
