Metaplanet’s purchase of 2,205 Bitcoin for $240.8 million, bringing their total to 15,555 BTC valued at $1.69 billion, reflects a bold corporate strategy mirroring MicroStrategy’s approach under Michael Saylor, who has amassed over 500,000 BTC, as highlighted at the Bitcoin for Corporations 2025 event in Orlando.This move coincides with a notable $8.6 billion Bitcoin whale transfer reported by Arkham on July 6, 2025, suggesting potential market stability rather than a sell-off, challenging the narrative of volatility often pushed by mainstream financial outlets.The adoption of Bitcoin by corporations like Metaplanet aligns with emerging research, such as a 2023 study from the Journal of Corporate Finance, which found that firms holding Bitcoin as a treasury asset saw a 15% average increase in shareholder value over two years, indicating a shift toward cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation.
