Metaplanet, a Japanese company, is making a huge bet on Bitcoin, steadily accumulating BTC despite the constant “Bitcoin is dead” chatter. Their strategy is simple: buy and hold.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Strategy
Since December 2024, Metaplanet has been aggressively purchasing Bitcoin. Their portfolio now holds approximately $268 million worth of BTC, with ambitious plans to own 21,000 BTC by 2026 (a projected value of $1.7 billion at current prices). They’re aiming to become Asia’s equivalent of MicroStrategy, a major Bitcoin holder.
Here’s a glimpse of their buying spree:
- Dec 24, 2024:
~1,600 BTC ($165M) - Feb 17, 2025: 269 BTC ($26.91M)
- Feb 20, 2025: 68 BTC ($6.6M)
- Feb 26, 2025: 135 BTC ($12.43M)
- Mar 3, 2025: 156 BTC ($14.35M)
- Mar 5, 2025: 247 BTC ($21.69M)
- Mar 5, 2025: 250 BTC ($21.86M)
- Mar 12, 2025: 162 BTC ($13.26M)
- Mar 18, 2025: 150 BTC ($12.51M)
Eric Trump Joins the Team
Adding fuel to the fire, Metaplanet has appointed Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, to their Strategic Advisory Committee. Given Eric Trump’s vocal support for Bitcoin and his involvement in successful crypto projects, this move signals Metaplanet’s strong commitment to Bitcoin and could significantly boost its price.
BTC Bull: A Bitcoin-Linked Token
Enter BTC Bull ($BTCBULL), a meme coin designed to profit from Bitcoin’s price increases. The token’s clever design offers multiple ways to earn:
- Token Price Appreciation: The token itself aims to increase in value.
- Staking Rewards: Presale investors can earn staking rewards.
- Airdrops: Holders receive Bitcoin and BTC Bull airdrops when Bitcoin hits specific price milestones ($150K, $200K, and $250K). The token supply is also reduced at certain price points ($125K, $175K, and $225K).
Currently, BTC Bull offers 109% staking rewards, is priced at $0.00242, and has already raised $3.8 million in its presale.
The Big Picture
With major players like Metaplanet and even government entities accumulating Bitcoin, projects like BTC Bull are offering innovative ways to participate in the Bitcoin boom. While crypto is inherently risky, the potential for significant gains with both Bitcoin and BTC Bull is undeniable. Remember to always do your own research before investing.
