PANews reported on October 14th that Bloomberg reported that the market capitalization of Metaplanet Inc., a Japanese listed company, has fallen below the value of its Bitcoin reserves.

Metaplanet's website shows that the company currently holds over 30,000 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $3.4 billion.
