币界网报道：Bitcoin dipped 0.65% to $60,500 amid broader market volatility, while Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced a $10.8 million purchase of 161 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 250.6 BTC. The company cited Bitcoin's deflationary nature and Japan's economic challenges as key reasons for the strategic acquisition. Metaplanet's move follows MicroStrategy's aggressive BTC accumulation strategy, positioning Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat currency risks. Analysts note growing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, particularly in markets facing currency depreciation and high debt levels. The purchase was funded through a bond issuance, reflecting innovative corporate treasury management approaches in the current macroeconomic climate.
