Metaplanet's Bitcoin Vault Soars to 43,000 Coins Amid Share Price Lag

Metaplanet's Bitcoin vault has reached an impressive milestone, with the company now holding 43,000 coins. The significant increase was largely due to a $225 million purchase of 2,823 BTC in early July, bringing cumulative acquisition costs to $4.09 billion.

The company's second-quarter BTC Yield metric rose 6.6%, ranking its Bitcoin holdings third globally among publicly traded companies, behind Strategy and Twenty One Capital.

What sets Metaplanet apart is its strategy of financing purchases primarily through credit lines, conventional bond issuance, and options trading, rather than diluting existing shareholders.
