Metaplanet's $61.4 million Bitcoin purchase significantly boosts Bitcoin reserves to a staggering $1.85 billion!
In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies, Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, has emerged as a dominant player in the global corporate Bitcoin market. According to BitcoinTreasuries data, Strategy now ranks first among public companies globally, holding nearly 629,000 Bitcoin worth over $70 billion.
Strategy's aggressive accumulation strategy, which began in 2020, has seen the company amass a Bitcoin treasury that represents roughly 3% of Bitcoin's maximum supply and about two-thirds of total BTC holdings across all public companies. This makes Strategy the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
MARA Holdings and XXI, both major Bitcoin miners and holders, follow closely behind Strategy, with approximately 50,000 and 43,500 Bitcoin respectively. Other key players include Trump Media & Technology Group, which holds Bitcoin valued at around $2 billion in liquid BTC and Bitcoin-related securities.
The US leads the pack with 94 public entities holding Bitcoin, followed by Canada and the UK. Over 35 public companies now hold at least 1,000 Bitcoin each, indicating a growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin. Notable holders like Galaxy Digital, though specific BTC amounts are less clear due to lending arrangements, also contribute to this trend.
One company that does not feature on the current top Bitcoin holders list is Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-based company. Metaplanet's Bitcoin holdings have been growing rapidly, with a significant increase to 18,113 BTC on August 12, 20XX. This purchase, which cost approximately $1.85 billion, helped Metaplanet achieve a 459.2% year-to-date BTC Yield.
However, Metaplanet's stock and Bitcoin's price have experienced a decline alongside a broader market pullback. Following the announcement of Metaplanet's Bitcoin acquisition, its stock saw a short-lived 1% rise, but later slipped to 975 yen, a 2.69% decrease.
Analysts suggest that such concentrated corporate purchases reflect growing institutional conviction in Bitcoin. The commitment to a "Bitcoin standard" treasury strategy by companies like Metaplanet underscores this trend.
In conclusion, the corporate world's adoption of Bitcoin is on the rise, with Strategy leading the charge. As more companies follow suit, the future of Bitcoin as a mainstream asset class continues to unfold.
