Now, let’s break this down because you know it’s not all rainbows and unicorns. With this latest purchase, Metaplanet’s total bitcoin stash is sitting at a whopping 18,113 bitcoins. And the average price per bitcoin? A casual 14,926,496 yen ($101,911) per coin. That means they’ve spent about 270.364 billion yen (around $1.85 billion) on all those shiny digital coins. You’d think they’d be satisfied by now, but nope. They just keep adding more to the pile. 🤑

The trial lasted longer than some marriages, and finally, last week, they put it in the ground. Officially “laid to rest.” Sure, until someone digs it up again, which, let’s be honest, people love to do.

As to the sentiment of the market, it remains confidently in the “Greed” zone at 60 on the Fear & Greed Index, a state which suggests traders are perhaps more eager than prudent. This correction follows a gallant rally in the past month, occasioned by profit-taking, token unlocks that resemble uninvited balls at the estate, and cautious macroeconomic whispers that cause even the most hearty to reconsider their investments – quite the drama, indeed!

Sourced – From the rabbit hole known as X.

Lo and behold, a recent working paper crafted by the scholars of the Central Bank of Malaysia (CBM) suggests that the capricious XRP and the obstinate Bitcoin (BTC) dare to pose as rivals to the reigning currency in circulation, should they win the favor of the masses. These noble quills ponder the mystical wonders of modern money as applied to the elusive central bank digital currency (CBDC) experimentations, whilst sharing musings on whether banknotes might one day retreat to mere collectors’ items.

Since embracing Bitcoin as a cornerstone of its business strategy in December 2024, Metaplanet has not only expanded its holdings but also its ambitions, much like a provincial theater suddenly thrust into the limelight of the Metropolitan Opera. Recent regulatory filings and financial presentations reveal a company that is not just buying Bitcoin at a breakneck pace but also redefining how it measures success in the digital realm.

According to QCP, Bitcoin recently tried to strut into the $122,000 ballroom but tripped over its own tail, retreating like a proud peacock with a limp. Ethereum, ever the showoff, soared to $4,300, its most dazzling performance since 2021-though it might need a spot of polish if it wants to outshine a disco ball.

But this year, try as you might to squint at the charts or shake loose a fresh miracle from your favorite token, you get nothing except Bitcoin sitting up top-a surly old ranch boss who won’t let the lads have their payday. The usual rumors swirl like dust: instead of folks gambling on high-risk coins, the suits and ties have rolled in, planted their flags right on ol’ Bitcoin, and started wrangling ETFs in the boardroom. Gunslingers turned accountants. 🤠💼
