The company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has brought its total holdings to 4,525 BTC. The Tokyo-listed firm recently acquired 160 additional Bitcoins , after it announced issuing around $13.3 million in zero-interest ordinary bonds . The proceeds were earmarked exclusively for purchasing additional cryptos.

Corporate Adoption of Bitcoin is “Accelerating”

According to Dom Harz, Co-Founder of BOB (“Build on Bitcoin), there has been a mood shift between BTC once being a speculative bet and now a strategic play for corporations.

“As corporations start to hold more Bitcoin, they’ll start to integrate digital assets into their core operations,” he told Cryptonews.

“The moment institutions see a viable yield-generating mechanism that aligns with Bitcoin’s security model, we’ll see major players exploring it – and fast.”

Further, from the corporate point of view, holding BTC would have a “passive yield on their assets.” It offers them diversity from traditional investments, Harz added.

Besides, Metaplanet’s consistent Bitcoin accumulation aligns with its plans to increase holdings by 470%, aiming to reach 10,000 BTC this year.

BTC Fluctuates as Digital Assets Falter Under Geopolitical Pressure

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin purchases come amid growing tension over U.S. trade tariffs. On Sunday, Bitcoin slid over 2%, dropping to $83,482, per Coin Market Cap data. the largest crypto is trading at $84,469 at press time.

The Japanese firm positions itself in the trajectory of Michael Saylor’s Strategy, whose aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has influenced a growing number of corporates.

Last month, Metaplanet appointed Eric Trump to its newly formed Strategic Advisory Board, citing him as a “leading voice and advocate of digital asset adoption worldwide.”
