Metaplanet Reaches Halfway Mark in Bitcoin Strategy
Tokyo-based investment powerhouse Metaplanet Inc. has officially crossed the 5,000 BTC mark, hitting a pivotal point in its aggressive crypto strategy. The company’s latest buy—145 BTC at an average price of $93,327—brings it to 50% of its 10,000 BTC goal set for the end of 2025.
