LATEST: Japan’s Metaplanet Adds 775 BTC for $93M, Now Holds 18,888 BTC Total

Japanese bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet has purchased an additional 775 BTC worth roughly $93 million, reaffirming its strong bet on the world’s largest cryptocurrency. The company’s president, Simon Gerovich, confirmed the acquisition on X, noting that the purchase was made at an average price of $120,006 per bitcoin. This brings Metaplanet’s total holdings to 18,888 BTC, valued at nearly $1.94 billion.

The Tokyo-based firm, which began its bitcoin accumulation strategy in April 2024, now ranks seventh globally among major corporate holders, according to Bitcointreasuries data. Despite recent market volatility, Metaplanet reported strong second-quarter results, with revenue rising 41% quarter-on-quarter to 1.2 billion yen ($8.4 million) and net income swinging to a profit of 11.1 billion yen ($75.1 million).

Metaplanet shares, however, faced pressure, falling 8.6% on Friday before edging up slightly Monday. Gerovich reassured investors, highlighting recurring bitcoin income growth over three straight quarters. “This recurring income adds resilience and supports further accumulation,” he said, stressing the company’s long-term commitment to bitcoin.

Mexico’s 3rd Richest Person Holds 80% Of Their Wealth In Bitcoin, Now They Plan To Make That A 100%: Here Is The Reason Why – Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR)

Mexican business magnate Ricardo Salinas Pliego has been a strong Bitcoin BTC/USD advocate for years and recently considered allocating the entirety of his wealth to the top cryptocurrency.

Salinas Wants To Go All In On BTC

During an interview with Austrian economist Saifedean Ammous in May, Salinas, who has a net worth of over $5 billion, disclosed that he has no exposure to stocks other than a “very small proportion” of gold and Bitcoin miners.

“I think that anybody who has an investment portfolio should be extremely careful because of the way that stocks are valued today. It’s ridiculous,” Mexico’s third-richest individual said.

LATEST: Grayscale Awaits SEC Approval For Dogecoin ETF Launch Under GDOG Ticker

Grayscale is moving ahead with plans to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to Dogecoin, filing to rename its existing Grayscale Dogecoin Trust into the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF. If approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the fund will trade under the ticker symbol “GDOG” on NYSE Arca. This marks another step in Grayscale’s ongoing push to expand crypto investment options for mainstream traders.

The filing comes as competition heats up among firms seeking SEC approval for crypto ETFs. Rivals Rex-Osprey and Bitwise have also submitted applications, while regulators are reviewing proposals tied to other tokens such as Solana (SOL) and XRP. The momentum reflects a more favorable regulatory climate under the Biden administration, following landmark approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier this year.

Grayscale has been central in shaping this landscape after a pivotal court ruling forced the SEC to greenlight its spot Bitcoin ETF. Today, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominates with over $88 billion in assets, but Dogecoin’s potential ETF debut could open a new frontier for crypto investors.

Are markets still forward-looking?

A core tenet of investing theory is that asset prices are driven by the market’s best (and sometimes worst) guesses about the future.

This is why stocks are valued on forward earnings multiples, not trailing ones. And bonds are priced on what the economy is expected to do, not what it’s already done.

It doesn’t feel like that’s what’s happening just now.

Corporations don’t care about your blockchain

This is a segment from the Lightspeed newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe.

We learned this week that Stripe and Circle are planning to launch their own L1 chains.

Ethereum community members were quick to question why corporations shouldn’t launch L2s instead.

Ethan Buchman has a simple explanation: Vertical integration is profitable.

Christian Catalini of Lightspark echoes this view in Forbes:

“… stablecoin issuers have strong incentives either to commoditize the rails — by issuing on multiple networks and positioning themselves at the center of interoperability across them — or to nudge most activity to a network they control. Either strategy gives…

A Bitcoiner’s Dilemma In The Age Of Rampant Speculation

Strategy, Michael Saylor and MSTR have taken over Wall Street. To many people’s chagrin, the suitcoiners and corporates are here: Bitcoin held by corporations in the form of bitcoin treasury companies is hypnotic to look at. It has captured more or less everyone’s mind — mine, included.

It’s the latest fad on the world’s capital markets, celebrated by a narrow sway of financially savvy Bitcoiners and insiders, yet hated by tradfi people who can’t for the love of humanity understand why anybody, let alone a company, would want bitcoin at all. Every odd Bitcoin podcaster has joined one or more bitcoin treasury companies as investors or advisors… or, to put their role more…

DAT-a crunch: Momentum builds around ETH treasury companies

This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe.

It’s worth taking another look at those corporations hoarding crypto — particularly as we see momentum around the ones accumulating ETH. 

You may know them as crypto treasury companies or, as Blockworks Research’s Dan Smith calls them: DATs (digital asset treasuries). 

But no matter the label, they’ve grown big enough for many to notice — and we’re not just talking about Michael Saylor’s Strategy.  

Though Strategy (holding 628,946 BTC) has historically dominated trading volumes in this segment of companies, we saw BitMine Immersion (BMNR) eclipse the firm on that…

LATEST: Hedge Fund Brevan Howard Holds $2.3 Billion In Bitcoin ETFs

Hedge fund powerhouse Brevan Howard has taken the lead in the race for Bitcoin ETF dominance. A new SEC filing reveals the firm now holds about 37.5 million shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) worth nearly $2.3 billion as of June 30. This marks a steep climb from 21.5 million shares in the first quarter, pushing Brevan Howard ahead of Goldman Sachs, which previously topped the list with a $1.4 billion stake.

The investment highlights Brevan Howard’s growing commitment to digital assets. Best known for its macro trading strategies, the hedge fund has been rapidly scaling its presence in crypto through BH Digital, a division managing billions across blockchain infrastructure and related technologies. This bold move solidifies the firm as a leading force in institutional crypto adoption.

IBIT continues to dominate the market with more than $88 billion in Bitcoin under management. Other major holders include Symmetry Investments, Capula Management, Mubadala Investment, and notably Harvard Management, which entered the top 20 with a $1.9 billion position, reflecting rising institutional appetite for Bitcoin exposure.

Winklevoss twins’ crypto exchange launches Gemini Wallet

This is a segment from The Drop newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe.

Winklevoss twins-backed exchange Gemini launched a wallet product yesterday, presumably to better compete with rivals like Coinbase and Kraken in the consumer market.

So how does it hold up — and where does it fit into the increasingly competitive wallet landscape?

The Gemini Wallet is a self-custody solution that also ties into a web-based dashboard, dubbed “Onchain,” which essentially offers a bigger screen to examine your crypto portfolio and make trades.

As of right now, this experience is on the web — there’s no standalone Gemini Wallet mobile app (yet). It’s not a Chrome…
