If Metaplanet purchases 1 billion yen worth of Bitcoin today, they would acquire nearly 100 BTC, approximately 99.84 BTC.<\/p>\n<p>In reaction to ongoing economic hardship in Japan, Metaplanet initiated a \u201cBitcoin-first, Bitcoin-only approach\u201d by purchasing 117 BTC for the first time in mid-May. In June, Metaplanet disclosed its most recent holdings report, which showed an average purchase price of 10.28 million yen, or $65,365, per Bitcoin. This suggests that the company\u2019s present approach is unsustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Similarities have been made between Metaplanet and MicroStrategy due to its aggressive BTC purchase and subsequent stock spike. According to Bitbo, the U.S. software corporation has the biggest Bitcoin holdings of any publicly traded company, with 214,400 BTC valued at $13.4 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet shares rose 11.5% on Monday, trading at 96 yen ($0.60). This continues the over 500% gain its stock price has seen this year, per Google Finance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
