Given the uncertain financial climate in Japan, the publicly traded company Metaplanet has announced a significant investment in Bitcoin.
The company has earmarked around $6.26 million to acquire the cryptocurrency, a move financed by the proceeds from its recent issuance of common bonds with a 0.5% annual interest rate, maturing in June 2025.
With its latest investment of approximately $1.237 million (20.2 BTC), Metaplanet now holds a total of 161.27 BTC at an average price of around $63,298 per token as of July 1.
Metaplanet’s investment strategy comes amid the challenging economic situation in Japan. In 2023, the country reported the highest net debt-to-GDP ratio among the G-7 nations, amounting to approximately 159%. This situation has heightened concerns about the stability of the yen and the country’s financial condition.

Despite representing a significant risk, the company’s successful results following the adoption of this strategy suggest a well-considered investment plan.
