Metaplanet, a Japanese publicly listed company, declares Bitcoin as its strategic reserve asset

As a professional translator, I hereby announce that Metaplanet, a publicly listed company in Japan, has released a statement regarding its financial management strategic transformation. The company has announced the inclusion of Bitcoin as its strategic reserve asset to address the ongoing economic pressures in Japan, particularly the high level of government debt, prolonged negative real interest rates, and subsequent weakness of the yen. Metaplanet’s strategy clearly prioritizes Bitcoin and exclusively utilizes Bitcoin as a means of financial transactions. The company may also employ long-term yen liabilities and periodic stock issuances as strategic financial choices to continuously accumulate more Bitcoin instead of retaining the increasingly weak yen. This approach aims to increase the value of Bitcoin per share and strengthen shareholder value from a long-term perspective.
