- The firm issued $25 million in additional zero-coupon bonds to support its Bitcoin strategy.
- Michael Saylor’s Strategy bought 1,895 BTC for $180.3 million last week.
Japan’s Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin holdings with
the purchase of 555 BTC. The Tokyo-listed firm disclosed the transaction on May
7. It spent $53.4 million on the acquisition, paying an average of $96,134 per
Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, BTCUSD has shown strong bullish behavior on the
H1 chart. The price found support around 93,500 and moved upward with solid
momentum. It faced resistance near 97,700 and pulled back briefly before making
another push toward that level. A breakout above this resistance could lead to
further upward movement.
Following the purchase, Metaplanet now holds a total of
5,555 BTC. At current market prices, this is valued at more than $536 million.
According to CEO Simon Gerovich, the total acquisition cost stands at $481.5
million. The company’s average purchase price across all its Bitcoin holdings
is $86,672 per coin.

issuance of $25 million in zero-coupon ordinary bonds. This follows earlier
fundraising efforts using similar instruments. Since early 2024, the firm has
raised over 35 billion yen, or $244 million, through zero-coupon bonds and
stock acquisition rights. These were issued via its financial partner, Evo
Fund.

The platform outlines three possible scenarios for Bitcoin’s
price in 2025. In the base case, Bitcoin is expected to trade between $100,000
and $150,000. A bullish “hyperbitcoinization” phase could push the price to
$350,000, while a black swan scenario might see it reaching $500,000. These
predictions reflect optimism surrounding institutional adoption and the
increasing role of blockchain in global finance.
As institutions continue to show interest, companies like
Metaplanet and Strategy have made notable moves in increasing their Bitcoin
holdings. These actions highlight the growing institutional confidence in
Bitcoin’s future, aligning with broader market trends predicted by platforms
like DeepSeek AI.
