About
Metaplanet is a Web3 infrastructure provider and has recently entered the crypto market by acquiring $6.56 million worth of Bitcoin. The company aims to reduce its exposure to the Japanese yen and establish its position as a forerunner in the adoption of digital assets in Japan. With the support of Sora Ventures, Morgan Creek Capital’s Mark Yusko, and others, Metaplanet added Bitcoin to its balance sheet in a way that offers Japanese investors exposure to crypto through a publicly traded company, mitigating high taxes on unrealized crypto gains.
