According to Chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\/status\/1957412760133779876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Michael Saylor<\/a>, the acquisition has involved 430 BTC bought for a total of $51.4 million. This has taken the total reserve of the company to 629,376 BTC with a cumulative cost of $46.15 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Saylor usually hints at purchases a day in advance by posting the Strategy BTC portfolio tracker with a cryptic caption. This time was no different, as the chairman made a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\/status\/1957050446146629790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a> on Sunday sharing the tracker with the words: \u201cInsufficient Orange.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strategy is currently the largest holder of the cryptocurrency among both companies and governments.

The difference is more gradual from there, with third-placed China sitting just $1 billion under the US.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet is all the way down in the thirteenth position, but if its accumulation remains as consistent as it has been lately, it might be able to climb up a couple of spots in the near future.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Price<\/h2>\n<p>While treasury companies may be busy accumulating Bitcoin, the asset\u2019s price has plunged to the $115,100 mark.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/OoTjG9nH\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin Price Chart\" width=\"1486\" height=\"915\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet has announced a fresh BTC acquisition, adding $93 million worth of the asset to its reserves.
