Metaplanet's shares have also surged, rising 11% to 1,017 yen on Monday, while Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 2.2% on the same day.
According to BitcoinTreasuries data, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, remains the largest institutional Bitcoin holder with 252,220 BTC, followed by Marathon Digital with 26,842 BTC.
Metaplanet’s continued investment in Bitcoin underscores its confidence in the long-term potential of the world’s largest cryptocurrency as both a reserve asset and a source of earnings through financial instruments such as options.
