As a seasoned analyst with a keen eye for trends and a knack for deciphering financial moves, I find Metaplanet’s strategic expansion of its Bitcoin holdings both intriguing and impressive. This Japanese firm, often compared to MicroStrategy, is clearly making bold moves in the crypto space, positioning itself as a significant player in the digital currency market.
As a crypto investor, I’ve recently added more Bitcoin to my portfolio by purchasing an additional 108.786 coins at a cost of approximately 1 billion yen. This move underscores my continued optimistic outlook on this digital currency.
The latest stash is worth around $6.7 million.
Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings
As stated in their official announcement on Monday, Metaplanet, known as Japan’s equivalent to MicroStrategy, now owns approximately 639.503 Bitcoins. This stockpile has an estimated market value of roughly $40.6 million. The company revealed that they obtained these additional bitcoins for an average price of 9.19 million yen each ($61,880), with their overall bitcoin acquisitions averaging 9.32 million yen per bitcoin ($62,790).
Over the recent months, the Japanese corporation has significantly increased its Bitcoin investments. In May, they revealed their intention to incorporate Bitcoin into their treasury reserve plan as a significant component. Just last week, they unveiled the purchase of an additional 107.913 Bitcoins, valued around 1 billion yen or roughly $6.9 million.
According to data from Google Finance, the company’s stock soared by more than 12% after the October 7th announcement. It reached a high of 1,045 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but then dropped down to 988 yen later in the day.
In August, Metaplanet revealed they had secured a loan of roughly $6.8 million (1 billion yen) from their shareholder MMXX Ventures. This loan serves to augment their Bitcoin holdings. The terms include an annual interest rate of 0.1% and a duration of six months, starting August 8, with repayment expected in one installment at the end of that period. If Metaplanet decides to invest the entire loan amount in Bitcoin, they could potentially acquire approximately 118.5 Bitcoins at present prices.
Metaplanet’s Strategic Options Sale
Metaplanet has just disclosed that they’ve agreed on the sale of 223 Bitcoin put option agreements, each set at a selling price of $62,000 and expiring on December 27th.
The deal was made with Singapore-based digital asset trading firm QCP Capital as the counterparty. The announcement revealed that Metaplanet received a premium of 23.972 BTC ($1.44 million).
On Metaplanet, they put forward a collateral worth approximately $13.8 million and were given a 0.1075 Bitcoin premium for each contract at the outset. This deal generated a preliminary profit of 10.75% and an equivalent return on an annual basis of 45.63%.
