On Feb. 25, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced that it had purchased an additional 135 BTC for around $96,000 per bitcoin.<\/p>\n
The $13 million buy has increased the firm\u2019s total holdings to 2,235 BTC, worth around $205 million at current market prices. Its most recent addition to this stash was on Feb. 20, with a 68 BTC purchase<\/a>.<\/p>\n The latest purchase has propelled Metaplanet to the fifteenth-largest corporate holder of BTC globally, just behind Voyager Digital, according<\/a> to BitBO.<\/p>\n *Metaplanet purchases additional 135 $BTC<\/a>* pic.twitter.com\/JA3Rd9E8lP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Metaplanet Inc.

It reported a BTC yield of 23.2% so far for Q1 2025, which follows 310% in Q4 2024.<\/p>\n In late January, the firm issued 21 million new shares through stock acquisition rights to its EVO Fund. Earlier this month, it raised 4 billion yen ($26.7 million) via bonds used to buy Bitcoin.\u00a0Since July 2024, Metaplanet has aggressively increased BTC holdings through equity and debt financing.<\/p>\n Metaplanet shares have increased a whopping 3,400% over the past 12 months. However, they dropped 4% on the day on Feb. 25 as Bitcoin and crypto markets crashed.<\/p>\n The Japanese firm is not the only one buying the dip. El Salvador purchased a further 8 BTC this week, adding to its stash, which now totals 6,088 BTC worth around $560 million.<\/p>\n The stacking will continue until morale improves!<\/p>\n https:\/\/t.co\/onNZgyL6Ei<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The Bitcoin Office (@bitcoinofficesv) February 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Just a few hours after announcing the successful completion of a $2 billion offering of convertible notes on Feb. 24, Strategy said it had purchased<\/a> the same amount of BTC, bringing its total stash to 499,096 BTC worth around $46 billion.<\/p>\n The continued Bitcoin accumulation came just before markets took their largest hit of the year so far, with an 13% crash in total capitalization.<\/p>\n BTC dumped around 10%, falling from $96,000 to its lowest price position in over three months of under $87,000.<\/p>\n The market meltdown followed a news conference with Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron in which Trump said his planned 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico were \u201cgoing forward on time, on schedule.\u201d A similar crypto crash occurred earlier this month<\/a> when Trump initially imposed his tariffs.<\/p>\n Equity markets have also been in the red this week as stocks slid on renewed trade tariff fears.<\/p>\n The post Metaplanet Buys The Dip Scooping Up 135 BTC, El Salvador Back Buying Bitcoin<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Feb. 25, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced that it had purchased an additional 135 BTC for around $96,000 per bitcoin.
