MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings hit 592,100 BTC after a $1.051B purchase, showcasing Saylor’s faith in BTC’s long-term potential.
Metaplanet expands its BTC fortune to 10,000 coins by using equity dilution and bonds to purchase cost-efficient, high-yield coins.
Bitcoin's above-average price resilience during institutional dominance and geopolitical tensions is a signal of growing adoption.
MicroStrategy has been rampantly buying Bitcoins, fueling institutional demand for the asset. Although Michael Saylor tweeted that the firm purchased 10,100 BTC at $1.051 billion between June 9 and June 15, 2025, their holdings are now at 592,100 BTC. Their average purchase price is $70,666, considering the company's strategic timing as the impact prices.

The purchases have been funded through three ATM preferred stock programs, STRK, STRF, and STRD, raising over $1 billion. While the STRK program alone generated $48.4 million in net proceeds, STRF and STRD significantly bolstered liquidity. This maneuvering reflects Saylor’s unyielding belief in Bitcoin’s long-term potential as an asset.
Metaplanet Has Been Joining the Bitcoin Treasury Race
Metaplanet Inc. has also been increasing its Bitcoin exposure, now holding 10,000 BTC as of June 16, 2025. While their latest acquisition of 1,112 BTC cost $117.2 million at an average of $105,435 per Bitcoin, it underscores months of consistent accumulation funded through equity dilution and zero-coupon bonds.
Metaplanet’s BTC Yield is reported to be 266.1% YTD, showing how the firm is leveraging alternative funding for efficient growth. While their treasury strategy ensures resilience despite rising acquisition costs, it solidifies Metaplanet’s role as a key player in Bitcoin reserves.
Geopolitical Tensions Can Rattle Crypto Markets
Geopolitical events have been impacting the market as tensions between Israel and Iran escalate. Reports indicate that Israel has requested U.S. intervention to counter Iranian threats, while Iran’s refusal to sign a nuclear compliance deal has further complicated matters. President Donald Trump demanded that Americans leave Tehran on the grounds of security.
The events have caused volatility, with Bitcoin dropping to $106.23K before rebounding to $ 107 K. While the fluctuations show the effect of global events, they also show the resilience of Bitcoin as it holds against external pressure.
Bitcoin Ownership Transition Signals a Shift to Institutional Dominance
There has been a significant shift in Bitcoin ownership, with institutions rapidly absorbing supply. While Maartunn’s chart titled "Bitcoin: STH/LTH Supply vs. ETF Flows vs. MicroStrategy" illustrates over 1.019 million BTC transitioning to long-term holders in 30 days, ETF inflows and purchases by firms like MicroStrategy have helped stabilize prices near $105,000.
The correlation between ETF activity and institutional buying is reinforcing Bitcoin’s upward momentum. While retail traders are scaling back, institutional players like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet are driving dominance, further securing Bitcoin as a preferred treasury asset.
Bitcoin Prices Show Resilience Amid Accelerating Demand
Bitcoin has been experiencing strong demand, with a June 16 intraday high of $108,783.49. Despite the continued institutional buying, intraday trends show consistent breakout rallies. Traders are now targeting the $109,000 psychological level, a signal of bullishness.
As institutions buy up Bitcoin, retail holders become long-term investors, and adoption globally picks up steam, Bitcoin is becoming a core asset in the new financial order.
