In light of Japan’s uncertain financial environment, the publicly traded company Metaplanet has announced a significant investment in Bitcoin. According to information, the company has allocated approximately $62,600 to acquire the cryptocurrency, funded by the recently issued ordinary bonds with an annual interest rate of 0.5%, maturing in May 2025.
As of January 20, Metaplanet holds a total of 161.27 BTC, with an average purchase price of about $63,298 per BTC, valuing the investment at approximately $10.2 million (20.2 BTC).
Metaplanet’s investment strategy was formulated against the backdrop of challenging economic conditions in Japan. In 2023, the country’s net debt-to-GDP ratio was the highest among the G7 nations, at about 257%. This situation has intensified concerns over the stability of the Japanese yen and the country’s financial health.

Since the company announced its Bitcoin investment strategy in April, its stock price has nearly quintupled, indicating the effectiveness of their approach so far.
Despite significant risks, the successful outcomes achieved by the company since adopting this strategy suggest it is a well-considered investment plan.
