Just a week ago, the firm had outlined its intentions to further strengthen its Bitcoin portfolio by acquiring an additional $6 million worth of BTC. According to the Metaplanet website, this strategic shift towards Bitcoin was prompted by the altering investment landscape brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The methodology of accumulating Bitcoins echoes the approach adopted by MicroStrategy, a software development company based in Tysons Corner, Virginia, which has been steadily purchasing BTC for nearly four years and currently holds more than 226 BTC, constituting over 1% of the total Bitcoins in circulation.
Metaplanet witnessed a 1% surge in its shares following this announcement.
