While the world panicked, one Tokyo-listed firm doubled down on Bitcoin. Welcome to Japan’s quiet crypto revolution.
Over the weekend, Bitcoin briefly crashed below 100K after reports of a U.S. bombing in Iran. While most investors froze, Metaplanet, a Japanese hospitality company, hit “buy.”
They scooped up 1,111 BTC — worth 117 million — at an average price of 105,681.
Not only was it a bold buy during geopolitical chaos, but it was also strategic AF. Bitcoin had just dipped to 98K and was climbing again. Metaplanet moved fast — and cheap.
This isn’t a one-off gamble. With this latest buy, Metaplanet now holds 11,111 BTC — valued at over 1.1 billion.
That’s not some altcoin YOLO. That’s a nation-scale treasury strategy from a public company in one of the most regulated economies in the world.
Their average cost? Around 95,700 per BTC. Translation: they’ve been buying the dips like it's a sport — and they’re winning.
Japan isn’t exactly known for reckless financial moves. Its crypto scene is tightly regulated, conservative, and cautious.
Which makes Metaplanet’s play even more badass.
This move signals a shift — not just for the company, but for Japan’s corporate culture. Digital assets are no longer taboo. They’re becoming treasury assets.
Bitcoin's recent price swings are enough to give anyone whiplash — but Metaplanet doesn’t seem worried.
They’re not day-trading. They’re accumulating.
They’re not watching RSI. They’re hedging against the future.
And that 117M bet during geopolitical panic? That’s not fear — that’s conviction.
Forget the FOMO. This is long-game energy.
