Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin: Treasury Buys Continue Despite Paused Weekly Strategy

Tokyo's Metaplanet just made waves—again. The publicly traded firm just loaded up its balance sheet with more Bitcoin, defying market jitters with another bold treasury purchase.

But here's the twist: Their infamous weekly buying spree? Suddenly halted. No explanation, no warning—just radio silence from the corporate suite.

Why This Matters

When a mainstream company treats BTC like a strategic reserve asset, it legitimizes crypto for institutional players. Even if their accountants probably still lose sleep over volatility.

The Punchline

Another day, another corporation hedging against fiat with digital gold. Because nothing says 'trust the system' like abandoning the system.

Strategy boasts of topping the year’s crypto IPO

Strategy shifted the focus to its STRC share placement, claiming the event would become the biggest crypto IPO for the year. The expected raise is at $2.52B, surpassing other share sales, even the highly successful Circle IPO.

Strategy retains significant reserves for the years ahead based on its MSTR facility, as well as three types of preferred shares. As it acquires more BTC, Strategy still depends on overall bullishness to justify the premium growth of its shares. 

MSTR ROSE to $413.89 despite the delayed treasury operation, though still down from its monthly peak.

The stock may react to the earnings report coming this Thursday, another potential reason for the skipped weekly purchase. 

Metaplanet crosses $2B treasury milestone

In other news, Metaplanet continues its expansion, as it bought more BTC than planned based on favorable market conditions and financing. 

In its latest round, Metaplanet added 780 BTC valued at $92.5M, at an average price of $118,622 per BTC. Metaplanet holds 17,132 BTC, ranked 7th among the top corporate holdings. 

Smaller BTC purchases continue, more as a message than Strategy’s large-scale approach of turning cash into BTC. Among this week’s buyers are Capital B with 58 BTC, Coinsilium Group (12 BTC), and Sequans (755 BTC). The cut-off to joining the Bitcoin 100 list for the largest treasuries is now 29 BTC, with 37 companies holding over 1,000 BTC. 

The buying is a mix of sporadic spot additions of more BTC, or mixed strategies with inflows from mining. Mara Digital Holdings broke above 50K BTC with more gradual inflows from its mining operations.
