In recent years, companies have embraced increased investment in the cryptocurrency market. Favorable regulation is expected in the coming years, and the asset class has shown its viability as a reserve currency. With companies’ increasing exposure, Metaplanet has become a top 10 Bitcoin holder after its most recent $67 million purchase.

The Tokyo-based firm has been known for its innovative approach to Bitcoin financing. Moreover, that very approach has seen it achieve a Q1 yield of 95%. Following in the footsteps of firms like Michael Saylor’s Strategy, it is rapidly becoming a key player in the growth of corporate BTC strategies.

That has been to the benefit of some of the early adopters of crypto investment strategies. One of the most notable is Metaplanet, which has officially become a top 10 Bitcoin holder after its most recent $67 million purchase.

Indeed, the Japanese firm is now in the top 10 of publicly traded companies with Bitcoin exposure. Moreover, it surpasses firms like Bitcoin Group and Semler Scientific. The firm had issued 2 billion yen in 0% ordinary bonds that would allow it to increase its Bitcoin purchases. Moreover, its stock was then added to the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF.
