Metaplanet, a Japanese investment and consulting firm, has completed its Bitcoin <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/tokyo-based-metaplanet-adds-almost-22-more-bitcoin-to-its-treasury/">purchase plan</a> with a final acquisition of $1.2 million.&nbsp; 
The transaction, which added 20.38 BTC to its portfolio, marked the completion of an ambitious 1 billion yen purchase goal announced in June of this year. 
On June 24, Metaplanet communicated its intention to issue bonds valued at 1 billion yen, equivalent to approximately $6.26 million, to finance the purchase of Bitcoin.&nbsp; 
The strategy, centered on the adoption of BTC as the main asset of its treasury, aims to reflect the company’s confidence and commitment to long-term cryptocurrency storage.&nbsp; 
The most recent acquisition was made at an average price of 9,813,061 yen ($62,574) per BTC, bringing the total BTC acquired by the company to 104.91 BTC, purchased at an average of 9,531,162 yen ($60,700) per unit. With this, Metaplanet’s total holdings amount to 245.99 BTC, currently valued at $16.5 million. 
Since Metaplanet announced its commitment to Bitcoin on April 8, its stock price has seen a considerable increase. Initially, the company’s shares were trading around $0.12, but since then, they have risen by 810%, reaching $1.10.&nbsp; 
The meteoric rise accelerated following the recent announcement, with a 19.31% increase in the following hours.

Metaplanet’s decision to invest in BTC as a strategic asset has been compared to that of MicroStrategy, a U.S. business intelligence company known for its substantial Bitcoin investments.&nbsp; 
Jason Fang, founder of Sora Ventures, has even called Metaplanet “Asia’s first MicroStrategy,” highlighting its role in opening the Japanese market to the crypto industry. 
From its inception, Metaplanet has focused on positioning itself as a pioneer in the adoption of digital assets in Japan.&nbsp; 
Its commitment to innovation and long-term vision has not only strengthened its position in the cryptocurrency market but also led to a substantial appreciation in the value of its shares.
