Bitcoin (BTC): Metaplanet’s Strategic Expansion Drives Long-Term Price Outlook

Bitcoin (BTC) price hit a 70-day peak of $97,822 on Friday, with Coingecko data shows showing 3.0% gains over the week and 15.4% in the last 14 days.

Among the week’s major bullish catalyst, Japanese firm Metaplanet’s announces the decision to enter the U.S. market, to double-down on the strategic BTC acquisition plan.

On Thursday, the Tokyo-listed Bitcoin investor announced it will establish a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury, based in Miami, Florida.

Operations are expected to begin in May 2025 with an initial $10 million investment focused on increasing BTC exposure and optimizing capital allocation across jurisdictions.

Market Impact: Metaplanet’s U.S. Office to support further Bitcoin purchases

Despite a limited short-term price reaction, Metaplanet’s U.S. expansion may significantly influence Bitcoin’s market structure in the months ahead. BTC has risen 64.7% year-on-year, with public companies and sovereign entities increasingly adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

More so, Bitcoin’s growing dominance versus altcoins reflects increasing capital preference for BTC scarcity mechanism and security preferences, at corporate investors react to macroeconomic uncertainty.

Now, with direct access to U.S. banking infrastructure, OTC trading desks, and Bitcoin custodians, Metaplanet’s Miami office will allow more agile execution, dollar-cost averaging, and integration with American financial standards.

Miami’s mayor and state-level regulators have long promoted pro-Bitcoin frameworks, making it an attractive jurisdiction for strategic treasury operations.

More so, Metaplanet’ cross-border investment trend may inspire other Asian firms to follow suit.

As BTC remains anchored near $97,500, supported by strong year-to-date performance and credible corporate adoption, Metaplanet’s move hints at a booming wave of fresh institutional capital inflows.

Bitcoin Price Forecast Today: $110K rally target ahead before  $250 breakout

Bitcoin price forecast today leans decisively bullish after clearing critical resistance levels, but the widely discussed $250,000 target remains a tall order in the near term.

For now, price action suggests a more achievable upside path toward $110,000, which has emerged as a realistic technical target given current momentum.

Trading around $96,970, BTC has decisively broken above all key moving averages — the 50-day (red), 100-day (green), and 200-day (blue)  in a move supported by rising volume and strong daily candle closes.

The 200-day SMA near $90,200 and the 100-day SMA at $90,005 now form a solid support base after being convincingly reclaimed in April.

Notably, BTC price has nows remained above the 100-day SMA for six consecutive sessions, reinforcing the bullish conviction.

While a retracement remains possible, particularly toward the $92,000–$90,000 zone, the momentum will likely remain bullish unless BTC closes below the 200-day average. A clean break past $98,000 could accelerate the move toward $110,000.
