SBI VC Trade operates as a crypto exchange platform, enabling users to trade various digital assets. Additionally, it offers services such as spot trading and margin trading.

Metaplanet Secures $20.7M in Bitcoin as Part of Digital Gold Strategy

Metaplanet has drawn significant attention due to its substantial investment in Bitcoin, adopting a strategy similar to MicroStrategy . As a result, it has earned the nickname “Asia’s MicroStrategy” for its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation .

The company’s decision to invest in Bitcoin is influenced by economic conditions, such as the depreciation of the Japanese yen, exacerbated by persistent low-interest rates.

Therefore, by integrating Bitcoin into its reserves, Metaplanet actively seeks to safeguard against inflation and the decline in currency value, capitalizing on Bitcoin’s reputation as a digital form of gold.

Currently, Metaplanet is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), which restricts US investors’ access. However, the company is actively planning to tokenize its shares on the Bitcoin layer-2 network, Liquid.

As of Sept. 2, Metaplanet holds 360.4 Bitcoins , valued at $20.7m.
