Metaplanet’s latest buy comes as Bitcoin faced price volatility, dipping to $83,000 earlier this week after U.S. President Trump confirmed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China.
Metaplanet’s CEO Simon Gerovich announced the company’s BTC yield performance for 2025 rose to 45.1%, well above its target of 35% yield per quarter.
BTC yield refers to the percentage change in the ratio of total Bitcoin holdings to fully diluted shares outstanding.
The firm’s drive to acquire Bitcoin for its holdings mirrors that of Michael Saylor’s Strategy, with Metaplanet now holding over 0.01% of Bitcoin’s total supply—placing it among the top 15 largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally.
The company has adopted new financing methods, as it announced a $745 million fundraising initiative in zero-discount moving strike warrants in “Asia’s largest raise” ever.
Metaplanet Inc., known as Japan’s MicroStrategy, has announced a $745 million (¥116 billion) fundraising initiative in what is being called “Asia’s largest-ever equity capital raise for Bitcoin.” The Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed firm plans to issue 21 million shares of 0% discount moving strike warrants, a type of financial instrument where the price investors pay for shares is directly tied to the market price at the time of purchase. Unlike discounted warrants, this structure avoids diluting ex...
President Trump’s proposal for a strategic crypto reserve sparked a brief rally in Bitcoin and other cryptos, but the new tariffs on key trade partners quickly deflated that hype.
While these tariffs have stirred global market concerns, Bitcoin saw a slight recovery Wednesday morning, climbing 7.2% overnight to trade at just under $90,000, according to CoinGecko.
“Looking ahead, if the Federal Reserve's rate cuts are substantial enough, there is still hope for a considerable market opportunity this year,” Tracy Jin, COO of crypto exchange MEXC, told Decrypt. “Medium to long-term investors can consider buying the dip, but they should closely monitor key support levels and changes in macroeconomic policy.”
Vice President JD Vance is set to headline the world's biggest Bitcoin conference, one year after President Donald Trump spoke at the event. Bitcoin 2025's organizers announced the news Friday, noting that it would be the first time a vice president has ever headlined a crypto event to make public support of Bitcoin. A source familiar with the vice president's schedule confirmed to Decrypt that he will speak at the conference. Last year, President Trump spoke at July's Bitcoin 2024 conference i...

Bitcoin is coming to the drive-thru. American fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake said Thursday it will begin accepting the world’s largest crypto at all of its U.S. locations starting May 16, giving its more than 100 million customers the option to pay for milkshakes and burgers in BTC. “The movement is just beginning,” the company posted on X. Unlike high-margin retailers, fast food chains run on thin margins and high volume, making Steak ‘n Shake’s Bitcoin rollout a real-world stress test for the...
