The company currently occupies the second position in corporate Bitcoin ownership, following Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, which holds nearly 500,000 Bitcoins. Metaplanet’s control within the crypto sector increased substantially through this recent robust corporate expansion.
The Bitcoin market value reached $86,988 during the announcement, with a 3.4 percent increase since yesterday. The recent Bitcoin purchase by the company occurred at a slightly lower rate than the current market value.
