MicroStrategy began purchasing the leading digital asset in 2020 and has continued. On different occasions, MicroStrategy issued Convertible Senior Notes as a debt offering to buy more Bitcoin.
Last month, MicroStrategy <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/microstrategy-boosts-bitcoin-holdings-despite-quarterly-losses/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">expanded its reserve, acquiring 12,222 BTC</a> valued at about $805 million. Recent data from BitcoinTreasuries reveals MicroStrategy is the world’s largest Bitcoin holder among all publicly traded corporations.

Saylor’s consistent advocacy for BTC has drawn new buyers to the network.&nbsp; One of the most consistent buyers today is the Japanese investment firm Metaplanet. While the company’s Bitcoin portfolio is relatively smaller than that of MicroStrategy, its accumulation has remained consistent.
Earlier this week, the firm <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/metaplanet-reveals-latest-plan-to-increase-its-bitcoin-holdings/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">revealed a bold plan to grow its Bitcoin holdings</a>. To raise funds, the firm specifically provided details of its 11th series of stock acquisition rights. According to the details, the delivery of the shares will commence on September 18 after shareholders are notified of the exercise.
