On June 2, Japanese Bitcoin (BTC) investment firm Metaplanet reported that it had completed another round of purchases, valued at approximately $117.3 million for 1,088 BTC.

Notably, the company raised a total of $71 million from the exercise on May 28 and 29. As usual, Metaplanet noted that it would use the entire capital to fund its BTC portfolio expansion project.

He stated, “These kinds of moves don’t just ‘happen.” It means their board, investors, and strategy teams are all-in on Bitcoin as digital gold.”

Metaplanet Purchased Over $2,500 BTC in May

Last month, Metaplanet completed three Bitcoin purchases. According to reports, the company bought 1,004 BTC, 1,241 BTC, and 555 BTC on May 19, 12, and 7, respectively. Overall, the investment firm spent roughly $284.4 million, purchasing 2,800 BTC in May.

The above figure exceeded the 1,650 BTC acquired for about $149.1 million in April. It also surpassed the 1,115 BTC procured in March. If the company sustains its current trend, it will likely purchase over 3,000 BTC this month, exceeding its 10,000 BTC target for the year. For context, the investment firm only needs to acquire an additional 1,112 BTC to meet its long-term target for 2025.

BTC Records Slight Increments After the Previous Week’s Declines

Global trade tension rose again last week after Donald Trump accused China of violating an initial trade agreement. As expected, Trump’s disclosure elicited market uncertainties, which negatively impacted the crypto market, with BTC dropping from over $110,000 to about $103,000.

However, the token has recovered slightly. According to CoinGecko’s data, BTC is changing hands at approximately $105,300, reflecting a 1% upswing in the past 24 hours and fluctuating between $103,939 and $105,804. In its 7-day-to-date variable, BTC dropped by 4%, oscillating between $103,414 and $110,370. This price range highlights the token’s recent price struggle and recovery attempts.

Meanwhile, BTC’s long-term data showed the token only suffered a transient decline. For context, the token increased by about 2.9% 14-day-to-date, 9.5% month-to-date and 55.4% year-to-date. In addition, Bitcoin’s market cap and fully diluted valuation remained above $2 trillion.
