Metaplanet Buys 775 BTC for $93M – Now Holding 18,888 BTC! 😬

Metaplanet added 775 BTC for $93 million-because why not? Now they’re sitting on 18,888 BTC ($2.2B). Classic corporate genius.

 

Metaplanet, the Tokyo-based firm that’s basically Bitcoin’s new best friend, just splurged $93 million for 775 BTC. At $120,006 per coin, they’re basically buying Bitcoin like it’s Groupon deals for “$120K off your future crypto regrets.” Total holdings? A tidy 18,888 BTC. That’s not a number-it’s a flex.

President Simon Gerovich, clearly channeling his inner Elon, tweeted: “18,888 BTC. Onward and upward.” Because nothing says “I’m not panicking” like a cryptic tweet at 3 a.m.

Metaplanet vs. MicroStrategy: Who’s the Bigger Bitcoin Bro?

Metaplanet’s average cost per Bitcoin is $102,653. They’ve spent $1.94 billion since April 2024-because who needs cash flow when you can just print BTC? Their 480% YTD yield? A masterpiece of financial theater.

MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor would be proud… or jealous. Both firms treat Bitcoin like it’s a corporate Treasury asset. Which, technically, it is. If “treasury” means “a piggy bank with a 20% volatility tax.”

Asia’s Bitcoin Copycat Frenzy

Metaplanet’s moves have inspired regional companies to play catch-up. Taiwan’s WiseLink? $10 million in convertible notes. South Korea’s K Wave Media? Partnered with Galaxy Digital to “build reserves.” And Singapore’s Genius Group? Raised their BTC target from 1,000 to 10,000-because who doesn’t want 9x more crypto debt?

Asia’s corporate Bitcoin race is on. Buckle up-it’s like a beauty pageant, but with more volatility and fewer sequins.

Q2 Earnings: A Masterclass in Hype

A Rollercoaster You Can’t Ride

Despite the wins, Metaplanet’s stock dropped 8.6% last week. Gerovich shrugged it off: “Natural pullback.” Or as I call it, “investor anxiety after spending $2B on Bitcoin.” But hey, their recurring Bitcoin income lets them keep buying. Because nothing says “stability” like a $115K Bitcoin price.

The Road Ahead: More BTC, Less Sleep

Metaplanet’s 2025 forecast? $3.4B revenue, $2.5B operating profit. And they’ll keep buying Bitcoin because, as Gerovich said, “What gives us conviction is the foundation we’re building.” That foundation? A $2B BTC pile. Because who needs diversification when you can just bet on one asset that’s 99% a gamble?

Bitcoin’s down 2.1% in 24 hours, but Metaplanet’s unfazed. They’ve got $2B in BTC and a CEO who tweets like he’s narrating a crypto apocalypse. Onward and upward, indeed. 🚀
