Japan’s Metaplanet Buys Another $6.7M Worth of Bitcoin

The company adopted bitcoin as a reserve asset in May as a hedge against volatility of Japan’s native currency. It now has the second-largest bitcoin stash among Asia-listed companies, behind Hong Kong-based technology firm Meitu (1357), which holds around 941 BTC, according to Bitcoin Treasuries. Both companies trail behind Tysons Corner, Virginia-based MicroStrategy, which has more than 252,000 and is the largest publicly traded owner of the token.
