The fresh acquisition pushed Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings to 748.502 BTC, valued at about $46.6 million according to today’s market prices. The company asserted these Bitcoins were acquired for 6.965 billion yen ($46.7 million) at an average price of 9,304,655 yen ($62,409) per BTC.
Metaplanet’s latest Bitcoin purchase came barely a day after the crypto asset plunged below $60,000 as U.S. inflation and jobless claims fueled market uncertainty. BTC’s price has since made a slight recovery to exchange hands at $62,023 as of press time, CoinMarketCap data shows.
Meanwhile, Metaplanet has yet to break above the top 10 corporate Bitcoin holders despite its recent aggressive accumulation strategy. BitcoinTreasuries data shows that Michael Saylor-led MicroStrategy tops the list with 252,220 BTC, followed by Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms at 26,842 BTC and 10,427 BTC, respectively.
