Meanwhile, MicroStrategy’s latest acquisition came on the heels of a mixed earnings report, with the company reporting quarterly revenue of 116 million USD, below expectations of 122.66 million USD.

However, MicroStrategy’s BTC investment strategy remains strong, with plans to raise 42 billion USD for future BTC purchases, dubbed “Plan 21/21,” of which 21 billion USD will be raised from partnerships and 21 billion USD from fixed income securities.

Companies are starting to use Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

The uncertain economic environment, with rising inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions, has led corporate finance departments to consider BTC as a reserve asset.

Recently, digital asset services platform Abra launched a service for organizations that want to hold cryptocurrencies as a reserve asset on their balance sheet.

Similarly, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has been steadily increasing its BTC holdings since May, when it announced plans to use BTC as a strategic fiscal reserve. The move comes in the wake of Japan’s economic challenges, such as high public debt, negative interest rates, and a weaker yen.

In addition to the Bitcoin purchase, Metaplanet revealed that it will exercise its stock option to create an additional 299.7 million yen in capital for future Bitcoin purchases. The company also announced a partnership with SBI VC Trade, the crypto subsidiary of the SBI Group, to provide access to a crypto storage service for corporations that improves tax efficiency and provides a funding option using Bitcoin as collateral.

Last month, Metaplanet raised about 10 billion yen ($66 million) through a rights offering, attracting 13,774 individual shareholders.
