Meanwhile, Japan’s Metaplanet has now officially surpassed Tesla’s corporate BTC holdings by acquiring 1,234 additional BTC, bringing their total to 12,345 BTC — and they're not done yet.
Opyl Limited, listed on the ASX, has bought 2 BTC (worth AU$330,000) via the DigitalX Bitcoin ETF to navigate cash-flow troubles.
Backed by a non-dilutive AU$2 million loan at 6.5% from board member Tony G (SOL Strategies), this mirrors a growing trend of companies like Metaplanet, Semler Scientific®, and GameStop using Bitcoin as a treasury hedge.
📈 The result? Shares surged 47%—though still down long-term.
