The purchase follows the recent one made last week when the company announced it added ¥400 million worth of Bitcoin to its portfolio. The average purchase price per Bitcoin is around $62,800, Metaplanet noted.

Metaplanet has steadily acquired more BTC since April this year. The company has made Bitcoin its principal treasury reserve asset, with the goal of maximizing shareholder value through strategic, perpetual Bitcoin accumulation.

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-centric strategy is similar to other major companies like MicroStrategy. As of July 15, MicroStrategy holds 226,331 BTC, worth around $14,6 billion, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net.
