Given the uncertain financial environment in Japan, the listed company Metaplanet has announced a significant investment in Bitcoin.
According to the information provided, the company has allocated approximately $62,600 to acquire this cryptocurrency, with the funding coming from a recently issued 0.5% annual interest rate bond due in October 2025.
As of July 20.2, Metaplanet holds a total of 161.27 BTC, with an average price of around $63,298 per coin, making the investment worth about $1 million (1 BTC).
Metaplanet’s investment strategy has been formulated against the backdrop of a challenging economic situation in Japan.
In 2023, the country had the highest net debt-to-GDP ratio among G7 nations, at around 7%. This situation has heightened concerns about the stability of the yen and the country’s financial condition.
