币界网报道：Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, has surpassed Tesla to become the world's seventh-largest corporate Bitcoin holder with 12,345 BTC (approximately $800 million) in its treasury. The Tokyo-listed company adopted Bitcoin as its strategic reserve asset in April 2024, mirroring MicroStrategy's approach, to hedge against Japan's economic challenges including high debt-to-GDP ratio and prolonged yen weakness. Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings now exceed Tesla's 11,509 BTC, though both trail MicroStrategy's industry-leading 226,331 BTC. The firm's stock price has surged over 500% since announcing its Bitcoin strategy, reflecting investor enthusiasm for its crypto-focused pivot. Metaplanet plans to continue accumulating Bitcoin through dollar-cost averaging, leveraging Japan's favorable tax treatment of long-term crypto holdings. This move highlights growing corporate adoption of Bitcoin as an alternative treasury asset, particularly among firms seeking protection against fiat currency volatility and inflationary pressures.
