According to MicroStrategy’s 8-K filing on June 23, the acquisition was financed through its STRK and STRF ATM programs. These programs involve the issuance of preferred equity, STRK at 8.00% and STRF at 10.00%, which yielded combined proceeds of $26.1 million during the latest period. While no shares were sold under its Common ATM Program, over $18 billion remains available.
MicroStrategy continues to lead corporate Bitcoin strategy, prioritizing BTC accumulation regardless of macro-political volatility. The filing also emphasized the use of its Strategy Dashboard as a centralized hub for real-time Bitcoin and securities performance updates.
Metaplanet Pushes Strategic Bitcoin Integration
Metaplanet Inc. made headlines with its acquisition of 1,111 BTC on June 23 at an average cost of ¥15,535,502 per coin, totaling ¥17.26 billion. According to a report by the company, its total holdings have now soared to 11,111 BTC, with a cumulative investment of ¥156.41 billion. The firm continues to demonstrate relentless execution across bond and equity markets to scale its crypto treasury.
Between May 19 and June 16 alone, Metaplanet added over 3,300 BTC, significantly expanding its strategic exposure. Equity dilution rose to 759 million shares, yet BTC per 1,000 shares increased from 0.0008 to 0.0146, indicating shareholder value through Bitcoin appreciation. Capital raised from zero-coupon bonds and stock options has been continuously funneled into BTC.
Metaplanet’s BTC yield for Q2 2025 hit 107.9%, cementing Bitcoin’s central role in corporate finance. This follows earlier gains of 309.8% in Q4 2024 and 95.6% in Q1 2025, clear signs of institutional synergy with crypto accumulation.
Bitcoin Defies Fear as Price Action Confirms Strength
With international tensions running higher following Iran's claimed missile strikes on US Iraqi, and Qatari bases, Bitcoin surged. Despite building global uncertainty, the marketplace reacted with aplomb, rather than panic, and drove BTC to the $104,000 level. The increase is a testament to Bitcoin's growing status as a strategic, sovereignty-free hedge.
MicroStrategy’s bullish momentum and Metaplanet’s rapid treasury expansion both support a broader institutional narrative: Bitcoin is no longer speculative, it’s foundational. As price strength continues, the $BTC market is reaffirming its dominance, fueled by unrelenting demand, scarcity mechanics, and fearless capital deployment.
With 592,345 BTC now held by MicroStrategy and 11,111 by Metaplanet, the signal is loud and clear: Bitcoin is the anchor. Not just for portfolios, but for an entirely new financial paradigm.
