Bitcoin faces renewed bearish pressure as prices dip below $115,000, triggering over $100 million in long liquidations and exposing vulnerabilities in highly leveraged positions. Despite the sharp downturn, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet continues its aggressive accumulation strategy, purchasing an additional 5,419 BTC to bring its total holdings to 25,555 BTC, signaling a stark divergence between short-term market panic and long-term institutional confidence.
about Bitcoin Dips Below $115K, Triggers $100M LiquidationsStrategy Buys $217M Bitcoin After S&P 500 Rejection
Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings with a $217.4 million purchase of 1,955 BTC at $111,196 per coin, just days after the company was rejected for S&P 500 inclusion. The Virginia-based firm now holds 638,460 BTC valued at approximately $71.5 billion, reinforcing its status as the largest public corporate Bitcoin holder worldwide. Despite the S&P 500 snub and subsequent stock decline, Bitcoin has shown resilience by maintaining prices above $110,000. The purchase was funded through share sales programs, and Strategy reports delivering a 25.8% BTC yield year-to-date for shareholders. This corporate buying trend extends globally, with Japan’s Metaplanet also acquiring 136 BTC and El Salvador continuing its daily accumulation strategy.

Metaplanet Inc. continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy with a $15.2 million purchase of 136 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 20,136 BTC valued at $2.08 billion. The company has achieved 67% of its 2025 target of 30,000 BTC and 20% of its revised 2026 goal of 100,000 BTC—a significant expansion from its original target of 21,000 BTC. With an average purchase price of $103,196 per Bitcoin and a current YTD yield of 487%, Metaplanet has secured shareholder approval for an $884 million capital raising proposal to support continued acquisitions. Despite a 65% stock price decline from its 2025 peak, experts note the company maintains low debt exposure and structured financing that prevents forced liquidation scenarios, positioning it as a major institutional buyer in the Bitcoin market.
about Metaplanet Buys 136 BTC, Nears 2025 Bitcoin GoalMetaplanet Approves $884M Share Sale Amid Bitcoin Strategy Strain
Metaplanet Inc., the Japanese Bitcoin treasury company, has secured shareholder approval for an $884 million capital raise through overseas share sales and preferred stock issuance. This emergency financing comes as the firm’s stock price has plummeted 54% since mid-June, crippling its ‘flywheel’ financing mechanism that relied on rising share prices to fund Bitcoin purchases. The decline has slowed the company’s Bitcoin accumulation, with holdings growing less than 50% since June compared to 160% in the previous two months. Despite these challenges, Metaplanet recently acquired an additional 1,009 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 20,000 BTC and achieving a 486.7% year-to-date yield. The company maintains ambitious goals of owning 210,000 BTC by 2027, but analysts warn the financing crunch threatens these targets unless the capital raise succeeds.
about Metaplanet Approves $884M Share Sale Amid Bitcoin Strategy StrainBitcoin Dips Below $116K as Inflation Fears Mount
Bitcoin’s price dropped below $116,000 on Monday, representing a notable correction from its recent all-time high above $124,000. The decline is attributed to renewed inflation concerns in the U.S. and uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policy, which has dampened risk appetite across global markets. Currently trading near $115,300, Bitcoin is testing critical support at $115,000, with analysts warning that a breakdown could push prices toward $112,500. Despite the pullback, on-chain metrics suggest limited selling pressure, with the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss ratio sitting at just 0.07, well below the 0.25 threshold that typically signals profit-taking. In a contrasting move, Metaplanet Inc. has doubled down on its Bitcoin strategy, purchasing an additional 775 BTC at approximately $122,000 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 18,888 BTC. The company has reported impressive gains of 129.4% from April to June 2025, reinforcing Bitcoin’s narrative as a long-term hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.
about Bitcoin Dips Below $116K as Inflation Fears MountMetaplanet Buys $93M in Bitcoin, Boosts Holdings to 18,888 BTC
Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed firm, has acquired another 775 Bitcoin for $93 million, increasing its total holdings to 18,888 BTC worth approximately $2.17 billion. The company, which pivoted from a budget hotel chain to a Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy, now holds Bitcoin at an average purchase price of $102,000 per coin. Analysts suggest that such large-scale corporate buying could tighten Bitcoin’s liquidity and increase near-term volatility, while also serving as a hedge against fiat currency risks. However, experts warn of potential downsides, including price volatility straining balance sheets and equity dilution risks if share-funded purchases don’t yield bullish results. Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation contrasts with broader Asian corporate trends, where regulatory and financial challenges make such strategies difficult to replicate.

Metaplanet Inc., a publicly traded company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has announced plans to raise up to ¥555 billion ($3.7 billion) through Class A and B Perpetual Preferred Shares to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions. The company has revised its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares from 1.61 billion to 2.723 billion, enhancing financial flexibility. Metaplanet’s ambitious ‘555 million plan’ targets accumulating 210,000 BTC by 2027, a major upgrade from its initial goal of 10,000 BTC by 2025. The firm has already achieved a 430.2% BTC yield and ranks 7th globally in corporate Bitcoin holdings with 17,132 BTC. Its market capitalization has surged over 190% year-to-date, reflecting strong investor confidence in its crypto-focused strategy.

A consortium of Bitcoin-focused investors, led by Sora Ventures, AsiaStrategy, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich, and Korean private equity firm KCGI, has acquired SGA Co., a Seoul-listed software provider. The deal involves issuing 58.8 million new shares, raising ₩34.49 billion ($25 million), with AsiaStrategy becoming the largest shareholder. SGA plans to use the capital for operations and digital asset initiatives, leveraging its investors’ Bitcoin expertise. This follows the group’s recent bid for Thai firm DV8, highlighting their strategy to expand Bitcoin adoption in Southeast Asia, with future targets including the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

A consortium led by Metaplanet backers, including UTXO Management, Sora Ventures, and Kliff Capital, has filed to acquire at least 75% of Thai-listed DV8 through a voluntary tender offer. The group seeks to promote Bitcoin treasury adoption in Southeast Asia, following Metaplanet’s strategy. However, experts caution that financially distressed firms adopting Bitcoin as a lifeline may trigger systemic risks, citing recent examples like Opyl and Vanadi Coffee. While disciplined Bitcoin treasury strategies signal strength, sudden moves by struggling firms often appear as short-term stunts, raising concerns over forced liquidations and instability.

Metaplanet Inc. has intensified its Bitcoin buying spree, acquiring 1,005 BTC for $97 million, elevating its total holdings to 13,350 BTC worth $1.27 billion. The Tokyo-listed firm employs a ‘liquidity flywheel’ strategy—issuing zero-coupon bonds and redeeming them via stock rights—to amass Bitcoin rapidly without equity dilution, yielding a 348.8% YTD return. However, analysts warn of refinancing vulnerabilities, tax liabilities on unrealized gains, and forced selling risks during market downturns, which could destabilize both the company and broader crypto markets. The strategy, while lucrative in bull markets, faces scrutiny for its high leverage and liquidity mismatches.
