As a researcher with a keen interest in digital asset markets, particularly Bitcoin, I find the recent moves by Japanese investment firm Metaplanet quite intriguing. With their latest options transaction with QCP Capital, they have strategically increased their Bitcoin holdings to a significant 530.72 BTC, worth approximately $32,55 million at current prices.
Metaplanet, a Japanese investment company, obtained 23.97 Bitcoins through an options deal with QCP Capital, a digital asset trading firm based in Singapore. This latest transaction adds to Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin earnings, which now stand at approximately 530.72 Bitcoins.
According to the announcement made by Metaplanet on October 3rd, they have entered into a Bitcoin options transaction agreement with the Singapore-based digital asset trading firm, QCP Capital.
As a crypto investor, I recently learned that Metaplanet, in a financial move, sold 223 contracts valued at approximately $62,000 related to put options expiring on December 27, 2024. This transaction generated a profit for Metaplanet, amounting to approximately 23.97 Bitcoins, which they recognized as revenue from option premiums.
The company explained in their announcement that this deal enables them to profit from Bitcoin’s price fluctuations, as it provides additional income, all while keeping a completely liquid cash reserve.
With the latest acquisition valued at $6.94 million, one of its largest individual purchases, Metaplanet now controls approximately 530.72 Bitcoins. By October 3rd, these Bitcoin holdings were equivalent to around $32,55 million in value.
Through the purchase of 223 Bitcoin put options, the company stands to boost its Bitcoin holdings should the market value drop below $62,000 by the expiration date.
According to Metaplanet, this approach not only boosts our Bitcoin holdings but also fortifies our financial structure, fitting perfectly with our continuous goal of increasing our Bitcoin presence for the long term.
Over the past few months, following the devaluation of the Japanese yen in May 2024, Metaplanet has persistently expanded its Bitcoin investments as a means of addressing economic difficulties.
After declaring Bitcoin as a reserved asset, Metaplanet has invested approximately 4.96 billion yen, along with an additional ¥215 million from recent put option sales.
Besides increasing its Bitcoin holdings, Metaplanet additionally intends to collect approximately $70 million via stock issuance, with more than 80% earmarked for their Bitcoin-focused approach.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin approach aligns with the increasing curiosity among Japanese financial managers regarding cryptocurrency investments. According to a survey conducted by Nomura in June, such professionals have shown a keen interest in delving into crypto ventures.
As an analyst, I am sharing some insights: On October 1st, Japan welcomed a new Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, who unveiled a strategic focus on blockchain technology in his policy documents. This strategy is geared towards strengthening the economy by leveraging local assets such as food and tourism on a global platform.
