Tokyo-listed hotel company Metaplanet has boosted its Bitcoin holdings, becoming the fifth largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency. The firm recently purchased 1,234 BTC for $133 million at an average price of roughly $107,877 per coin.
The latest acquisition raised its total Bitcoin stash to 12,345 BTC.
