Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin with 1,088 BTC Purchase—Now Holds 8,888 BTC

Another day, another corporate treasury flipping fiat for digital gold. Metaplanet just dropped ¥10 billion (or thereabouts—who’s counting after the third comma?) to scoop up 1,088 Bitcoin, pushing its total stash to a suspiciously auspicious 8,888 BTC.

Why 8,888? Maybe it’s lucky in Cantonese, or maybe their CFO lost a bet. Either way, Wall Street analysts are too busy calculating their own bonuses to notice.

Pro tip: When your balance sheet starts resembling a casino’s chip tray, you’ve either cracked the monetary future or need a new risk manager. Place your bets.
