Metaplanet Buy the Bitcoin Dips

Popular as Japan’s MicroStrategy, public-listed firm Metaplanet continues to add Bitcoins to its Treasury despite heavy market volatility and uncertainty. Earlier today, the firm announced the purchase of an additional 497 Bitcoins for an investment value of 443.9 million in total. The purchase was made at an average price of $88,448 per Bitcoin, according to company CEO Simon Gerovich.

As of March 5, 2025, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings stand at 2,888 BTC, acquired at a cumulative investment of $240.2 million. The company’s average acquisition price for its Bitcoin portfolio is approximately $83,172 per coin.

Additionally, Simon Gerovich announced the firm’s strong year-to-date performance while clocking a Bitcoin yield of 45.1% in 2025. This is above the company’s pre-defined target of achieving 35% BTC yield for each quarter of 2025.

As a result of this stellar performance, the Metaplanet stock has surged 16.89% as of press time moving all the way to 3,910. In earlier February 2025, the stock price surged to an all-time high around 7,000 JPY levels, however, gave up nearly 50% of its gains amid heavy Bitcoin price correction over the past few weeks. Forming a base and support at 3,310 JPY, the stock has once again reversed trajectory to the upside.

BTC Whales Seize Buy-the-Dip Opportunity

Following the BTC price drop to $83,000 on Monday, whales have turned active once again buying the dips. Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed that Bitcoin whales have purchased over 20,000 BTC since the cryptocurrency’s price fell below $88,000 on February 24. This accumulation signals robust buy-side interest at these levels ass big players chip in to accumulate heavily.

Furthermore, analyst Martinez also pointed out the Bitcoin risk metrics i.e. Sharpe ratio, that provides risk-adjusted returns, which typically resets to a “Low Risk” zone after reaching “High Risk”.

Martinez noted that this dynamic provides an opportune moment for investors to prepare for a potential “buy-the-dip” scenario as the market stabilizes. Thus, at the current levels, investors are making a strategic accumulation of BTC positioning themselves for future gains.
