Metaplanet 采用比特币作为数字货币

• Japan firm Metaplanet announced it was adopting a Bitcoin treasury strategy.
• Metaplanet stated that the move aligns with its vision of the digital future.
• Several firms have also recently announced a BTC treasury strategy.

The seismic shift towards digital assets has upended the traditional financial world as more companies seek alternative investment vehicles that are apolitical and free from centralized control. Leading the charge is Bitcoin (BTC), which has found favor with MicroStrategy, Tesla, and PayPal, which have embraced the leading cryptocurrency as a hedge against legacy instability.

日本公司 Metaplanet 宣布将采用比特币金库策略。Metaplanet 表示，此举符合其对数字未来的愿景。多家公司最近也宣布了 BTC 金库策略。向数字资产的巨大转变颠覆了传统金融世界，因为越来越多的公司寻求非政治性且不受集中控制的替代投资工具。领头羊是比特币 (BTC)，它受到了 MicroStrategy、Tesla 和 PayPal 的青睐，这些公司已采用领先的加密货币作为对冲遗留不稳定的手段。

In continuation of this trend, Japanese firm Metaplanet has announced embracing Bitcoin as a treasury asset to lead the Japanese corporate world toward digital asset adoption.

为了延续这一趋势，日本公司 Metaplanet 宣布将比特币作为库存资产，以引领日本企业界采用数字资产。

Bitcoin For a Digital Future

In an unconventional shift in the Japanese corporate landscape, Metaplanet and strategic partner Sora Ventures have announced the adoption of a Bitcoin treasury strategy. The company will commit an initial ¥1 billion ($7.5 million) to the scheme, equating to around 107 BTC at the time of writing.

比特币打造数字未来日本企业格局发生了非常规的转变，Metaplanet 和战略合作伙伴 Sora Ventures 宣布采用比特币金库战略。该公司将向该计划投入 10 亿日元（750 万美元）的初始资金，相当于撰写本文时约 107 BTC。

Metaplanet’s bold move marks a significant milestone in the company’s bid to lead the “digital finance era” in Japan while pioneering the switch towards a “finance meets innovation” future in the country. The company operates across various sectors, including Web3 consulting, real estate development, and investment management, and is listed on the Toyko Stock Exchange.

— Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet_JP) 2024 年 4 月 8 日Metaplanet 的大胆举措标志着该公司引领日本“数字金融时代”的一个重要里程碑，同时也是日本向“金融与创新相遇”未来转型的先驱。该公司业务涉及 Web3 咨询、房地产开发和投资管理等多个领域，并在东京证券交易所上市。

Following the announcement, Metaplanet’s stock price jumped 105% from ¥19 (S0.13) to a local high of ¥39 ($0.26,) reflecting growing investor enthusiasm. However, Metaplanet is a relatively small company, holding a market cap of just ¥4.13 billion ($27.2 million).

消息公布后，Metaplanet 的股价从 19 日元（S0.13）跃升 105%，升至 39 日元（0.26 美元）的当地高点，反映出投资者热情不断高涨。然而，Metaplanet 是一家相对较小的公司，市值仅为 41.3 亿日元（2720 万美元）。

Despite Metaplanet’s relatively modest size, the Japanese firm is not alone in adopting a Bitcoin strategy. Several smaller companies have also revealed similar initiatives in recent weeks. 

尽管 Metaplanet 的规模相对较小，但这家日本公司并不是唯一一家采用比特币策略的公司。最近几周，几家规模较小的公司也透露了类似的举措。

Mixed Responses

In recent weeks, several modestly sized companies have announced that they are adopting a Bitcoin strategy, with mixed results and responses. In late March, Nilam Resources revealed its plan to buy 24,800 BTC, eliciting a skeptical response from the community due to the scale of the buy and the lack of funding details.

反应不一最近几周，几家规模适中的公司宣布他们正在采用比特币战略，但结果和反应不一。 3 月下旬，Nilam Resources 透露了购买 24,800 BTC 的计划，由于购买规模大且缺乏资金细节，引起了社区的质疑。

It later turned out that the announcement was a pump-and-dump initiative to increase the company’s stock price. Nilam CEO Ron McIntyre claimed he did not know about the announcement until after it was released. McIntyre subsequently resigned, stating that the incident would undoubtedly trigger an investigation by authorities.  

后来事实证明，该公告是一次拉高抛售举措，旨在提高公司股价。 Nilam 首席执行官罗恩·麦金泰尔 (Ron McIntyre) 声称，直到该公告发布后他才知道这一消息。麦金泰尔随后辞职，称该事件无疑将引发当局调查。

On April 3, the ranching firm Kansas Cattle Company (KCC) announced the adoption of a Bitcoin treasury strategy to combat rising costs and preserve its capital reserves, prompting a positive response from the community.

4 月 3 日，牧场公司堪萨斯牛公司（KCC）宣布采用比特币金库策略来应对成本上升和保留资本储备，引起了社区的积极响应。

The following day, KCC stated that the announcement was a “social experiment” designed to attract new customers who shared the company’s frustrations with the legacy system. 

第二天，KCC 表示，该公告是一项“社会实验”，旨在吸引那些与公司一样对旧系统感到不满的新客户。

While KCC refrained from revealing its BTC holdings, it clarified that the results of the social experiment resolved any lingering doubts it had about leaning on the BTC community and the principles it bestows in its fight against “the big 4” farming conglomerates, who prioritize quantity and profit above all else. 

尽管 KCC 没有透露其 BTC 持有量，但它澄清说，社会实验的结果解决了它对依靠 BTC 社区及其在与“四大”农业集团的斗争中所赋予的原则的挥之不去的疑虑，这些集团优先考虑数量和利润高于一切。

On the Flipside

• Bitcoin is among the less popular coins traded on Japanese CEXs.
• Japan is considered crypto-friendly due to its receptive and proactive regulatory stance, which resulted from the Mt. Gox scandal, which left authorities keen to prevent a repeat.
• It is becoming increasingly apparent that alignment with Bitcoin is exploitable by corporate interests, who may not necessarily subscribe to what the project represents.

Why This Matters

Metaplanet’s bold Bitcoin treasury move represents a pivotal moment for adopting digital assets in Japan. This shift may inspire other Japanese firms to follow suit. However, BTC advocates should be cognizant of entities looking to exploit the BTC brand.

另一方面，比特币是在日本 CEX 上交易的不太受欢迎的硬币之一。日本被认为是加密货币友好型国家，因为它因 Mt. Gox 丑闻而采取了积极主动的监管立场，该丑闻让当局热衷于防止重蹈覆辙。越来越明显的是，与比特币的结合可以被企业利益所利用，他们不一定会认同该项目所代表的内容。为什么这很重要Metaplanet 大胆的比特币金库举措代表了日本采用数字资产的关键时刻。这一转变可能会激励其他日本公司效仿。然而，比特币拥护者应该认识到那些寻求利用比特币品牌的实体。
