Metaplanet Prepares for Massive Bitcoin Purchases

Via its ordinary bonds, Japanese firm Metaplanet announced raising $25 million at 0% earmarked for the acquisition of Bitcoin. Redemption of the bonds will be funded through proceeds generated from the exercise of the 15th to 17th Series of Stock Acquisition Rights, reported the firm.

Additionally, the firm is quick in its overseas expansion, opening a Miami office last week. Today’s announcement of Bitcoin purchases has led to a 12% surge in the Metaplanet stock price, which is already up by 33% since the beginning of 2025.

BTC Eyes $100K Breakout

BTC price is showing strength, moving above $96,000 as the US and China agree to resume trade talks on Tuesday. Amid mixed news and regulatory uncertainty, robust ETF inflows and sustained institutional buying continue to provide strong support for Bitcoin.

As per data from Santiment, over the past three weeks, Bitcoin ETF inflows have shot to $5.13 million as traders brace for the upcoming FOMC meeting.

The BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has been leading these inflows with 16 consecutive days of inflows. Speaking on the development, ETF Store president Nate Geraci said:

“I remember when naysayers didn’t think spot bitcoin ETFs would take in $5bil *total* last yr. As in *all* spot bitcoin ETFs. IBIT alone has done this in a few weeks more than a yr after launch”.

BTC investors are currently waiting for a crucial breakout from the $100K resistance, where it can kickstart a potential rally to fresh all-time highs very soon.
