Given the uncertain financial climate in Japan, publicly traded company Metaplanet has announced a significant investment in Bitcoin.
According to the information, the company has allocated approximately $6.26 million to acquire the cryptocurrency — a move funded by proceeds from its recent issuance of ordinary bonds carrying a 0.5% annual interest rate, maturing in June 2025.
With its latest investment of about $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 amidst Japan’s challenging economic situation. In 2023, the country reported the highest ratio of net debt to GDP among G-7 nations, amounting to approximately 159%. This situation has heightened concerns regarding the stability of the yen and the country’s financial condition.
