Japanese Company Gobbles Bitcoin Like Borscht—Halfway to Crypto Empire! 🤑

Once upon a time in the mysterious land of the rising sun, there existed a company named Metaplanet, which, like a ravenous wolf in the salary forest, devoured Bitcoin with the appetite of a man who’s just won the lottery but insists on buying another ticket.

On a fateful Thursday, this valiant firm proudly announced that it had swallowed another 145 shiny Bitcoins, making the accountants sweat as they counted the yen faster than a Cossack on a promenade.

The price? A humble 13,280,472 yen each, which in mortal language translates to a mere trifle of $92,885 per coin—for a total so grand it would make a cheeky babushka faint: 1.926 billion yen, or about $13.473 million.

“The Company has strategically increased its Total Bitcoin Holdings through acquisitions funded by capital market activities and operating income,” said the official decree, though one might suspect they meant “by the sheer magic of bean counting and shameless optimism.”

And now, dear reader, Metaplanet holds 5,000 Bitcoins exactly—like a plump goose sitting on half an egg treasure chest, eyeing the promise of 10,000 by the end of the fateful year 2025.

Simon Gerovich, a name as serious as a Siberian winter, declared with the solemnity of a man intending to conquer the globe’s digital gold rush:

“We have reached 50% of our initial goal of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. This is a big step forward in our aim to become one of the world’s leading Bitcoin holding companies. We will lead the global bitcoin race from Japan.” Such confidence could thaw even the coldest steppes.

Having invested a staggering 64.091 billion yen (roughly $448.26 million), every coin costing 12,818,168 yen ($89,671) as if they were crafted by the finest samurai blacksmith, Metaplanet marches on.

This grand adventure in Bitcoin Treasury Operations, officially launched on December 18th, 2024, aims to reach a magical 21,000 BTC by the twilight of 2026. Will they succeed? Will their digital hoard grow or vanish like a mirage on the Siberian plain? Stay tuned, as the saga unfolds with drama worthy of Gogol himself.
