Metaplanet, a Web3 infrastructure provider, previously announced that it would work with Sora Ventures, Morgan Creek Capital's Mark Yusko and others to add $6.56 million in Bitcoin to its balance sheet. After that, its Tokyo-listed shares rose nearly 90% in two days.
It said: "The company's decision to include Bitcoin in its treasury assets is based on its multifaceted understanding of its potential as a hedge against inflation, a tool for macroeconomic resilience and a basis for long-term capital appreciation." In addition, the company also said that it is seeking to minimize its exposure to the yen. (CoinDesk)
Yesterday, Jason Fang, founder of Sora Ventures, announced on the X platform that the venture capital firm is working with Metaplanet, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed company, to create the first Asian version of Microstrategy, which aims to enable Japanese with Tokyo Stock Exchange accounts to gain Bitcoin exposure without regulatory risks and without paying a 55% unrealized gains tax. It is reported that Jason Fang will join the board of directors of Metaplanet, after Metaplanet announced that it would make Bitcoin a core financial asset for the company in the future.
