**Metaplanet's Increasing Bitcoin Holdings: An Experiment and Limitations of Regional Capital as a Hedge**

Metaplanet follows MicroStrategy in increasing its Bitcoin holdings, highlighting the alternative hedging demand of Asian companies under monetary easing and sovereign debt pressures. Japan's long-term low interest rate policy and continuous depreciation of the yen have prompted the company to view Bitcoin as a hedge against 'non-yen assets', attempting to escape the erosion of corporate cash flow due to local currency depreciation. Essentially, this move is an attempt to incorporate crypto assets into the marginal strategies of regional corporate balance sheets, relying on the weak correlation between Bitcoin and traditional fiat currency systems.

However, Japan's strict capital controls and tax system may undermine Bitcoin's liquidity advantage, and the country’s conservative corporate governance culture still has low acceptance of crypto assets, potentially leading to an 'island effect'. If Bitcoin prices fluctuate dramatically, Metaplanet may face dual risks of shareholder pressure and regulatory scrutiny. Although this case reflects the regional spread of the fiat currency trust crisis, the aggressive allocation of a single enterprise is unlikely to shake the traditional financial system, further highlighting that the application of crypto assets on the institutional side is still in the early experimental stage.
