Recently, the global Crypto Assets market has shown signs of recovery, as Japanese company Metaplanet and the Central American country of El Salvador have successively announced their increased holdings of Bitcoin, attracting widespread attention in the market. These two distinctly different entities view Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset. Although short-term market fluctuations still exist, their firm holdings stance highlights a shared confidence in the future value of Bitcoin.

Metaplanet, a leading company in Asia, has recently increased its Bitcoin holdings to 20,136 coins, with a total value exceeding $2.2 billion. The company's average purchase price is $103,196 per coin, ranking its holdings sixth among global enterprises and making it the largest Bitcoin holder in Japan. Metaplanet has set ambitious goals, planning to accumulate 210,000 Bitcoins by 2027. To achieve this goal, the company is considering issuing stocks in overseas markets to raise approximately $880 million. Company executives stated that this strategy aims to lead the global Bitcoin race from Japan.

Although Metaplanet's Bitcoin strategy has shown varied responses in the stock market, its year-to-date price increase has reached 92.45%, indicating that investors have confidence in the company's long-term strategy.

At the same time, El Salvador, as the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, continues to advance its national Bitcoin experiment. The government recently announced a new round of Bitcoin purchasing plans to commemorate the important milestone of introducing Bitcoin into the national economic system.

These trends indicate that both at the corporate and national levels, the recognition of Bitcoin's long-term value and potential is continuously strengthening. Although the market may continue to fluctuate in the short term, the firm stance of these important participants may have a profound impact on the future development of Bitcoin. As more institutions and governments begin to explore the applications of Crypto Assets, we may see Bitcoin playing an increasingly important role in the global financial system.
