Investor psychology driving today’s crypto market cycle mirrors the same patterns that fueled the dotcom-era bust 25 years ago, according to Ray Youssef, founder of peer-to-peer lending platform NoOnes.

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.
