Metaplanet Inc., a Tokyo-based investment firm, has recently enhanced its bitcoin holdings by acquiring 108.786 BTC for approximately 1 billion yen (around $6.7 million).

This purchase brings the firm’s total bitcoin assets to 639.503 BTC , valued at about $40.6 million.

The firm disclosed that the latest bitcoins were bought at an average price of 9.19 million yen ($61,880) each, while the overall average cost of their holdings stands at 9.32 million yen ($62,789).

Metaplanet has actively pursued bitcoin investments since announcing its strategy in May to integrate bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Just a week ago, it had purchased 107.913 BTC for the same amount.

Additionally, Metaplanet reported earning around 23.972 BTC, worth about $1.52 million, by trading bitcoin options, further increasing its bitcoin reserves.

At the time of writing, bitcoin has risen 2.84% and is trading at $63,594 after a recent dip below the $60,000 mark. Meanwhile, Metaplanet’s shares surged by 11% to reach 1,017 yen, coinciding with a 2.2% rise in the Nikkei 225 index.
