Metaplanet surpasses 10,000 BTC, ranking 7th in the world for Holdings──Is Bitcoin a new trend in corporate finance? 【Bitcoin Holdings Companies news: June】 | CoinDesk JAPAN

In Japan, the number of listed companies moving to hold Bitcoin (BTC) is gradually increasing.

The American MicroStrategy (now Strategy) has taken the lead, and in Japan, Metaplanet has spearheaded this strategy. On the corporate side, there is an intention to prevent asset depreciation due to interest rate fluctuations and to position BTC holdings as one of the company's innovations, aiming for an increase in stock prices. Similar to real estate and gold, it is positioned as a "backed asset of value," and the movement to diversify assets is steadily gaining traction. There are not a few companies that believe in medium- to long-term price increases and are actively expanding their holdings.

On the other hand, for investors, in the Japanese market where ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are not approved, there is also an aspect of being able to benefit from the price increase of BTC through shares of such companies, thereby receiving tax advantages.

As a result of the alignment of the interests of companies and investors, a new trend is emerging that was not seen in the traditional stock market, where announcements of Bitcoin Holdings by companies lead to stock price increases.

In June, the holdings of the Metaverse reached 10,000 BTC (approximately 154 billion yen, calculated at 1 BTC = 15.4 million yen), and purchases continued unabated, rising to seventh place in the world rankings. Remixpoint reached 1,000 BTC (approximately 15.4 billion yen), also breaking through a milestone. Apparel brand ANAP took the plunge into BTC-denominated fundraising, marking a month where the utilization as a financial strategy further expanded.

──This is the series that will start this time, observing the Bitcoin Holdings trends of domestic listed companies. In this first installment, we will provide a digest explanation of what happened in June and what the market focused on, as reported by CoinDesk JAPAN.

Metaplanet

* Business: Hotel operations, Bitcoin investment

■Highlights of This Month

Aiming to hold 210,000 BTC (approximately 1% of the total supply) by 2027, on the 6th, the company announced the issuance of 555 million new stock subscription rights, raising approximately 767.3 billion yen to purchase additional BTC. Just 10 days later, on the 16th, the total holdings reached the milestone of 10,000 BTC. The company's holdings are exceptionally high domestically.

The stock price of Metaplanet (stock code: 3350), listed on the TSE Standard, opened at 1,060 yen on June 2. The closing price on the 27th was 1,490 yen.

Among some investors in the company, the perception of corporate value itself is presenting a different aspect than before.
