Market Performance and Investment Strategy
Despite market instability, bitcoin has outperformed U.S. equities, with Metaplanet‘s stock rising nearly 0.9% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. ‘The firm’s investment strategy is focused on long-term growth’ , as evident from its third BTC purchase this month. With a total of 4,855 BTC now held, Metaplanet has become the tenth-largest public holder of BTC.
Comparison with Other Japanese Firms
Metaplanet is not alone in its bitcoin investments. Fashion brand ‘ANAP Holdings’ purchased approximately 16.6591 BTC last week, valued at around $1.4 million. The holdings will be overseen by ANAP Lightning Capital, which plans to conduct quarterly market value assessments and reflect any gains or losses in its profit and loss statements.
