Metaplanet is buying Bitcoin again.

After a three-month pause, the Japanese public company added another 2,823 BTC to its treasury.

🟡 Treasury now holds 43,000 BTC after the latest acquisition.

🟡 Approximately $221 million was deployed to purchase 2,823 BTC during the quarter.

🟡 The company also generated ¥1.7 billion in quarterly revenue from its Bitcoin income generation business.

Corporate Bitcoin accumulation isn't slowing down. While many are waiting on the sidelines, institutions continue to accumulate.
