$BTC $ETH #BTCvsMarkets Bitcoin (BTC) has returned to positive territory for 2025, nearing $95,000 after its strongest week since late 2024. It now shows a strong 0.70 correlation with gold, distancing itself from tech stocks like the Nasdaq 100, with which it shares a weaker 0.53 correlation.
This shift supports the idea of bitcoin acting more like "digital gold" amid rising economic uncertainty, especially following President Trump’s new tariffs on China that have slowed global shipments. Ret
Why the Stellar Blockchain Is the Future of Government Spending
A leaked memo circulating at the U.S. State Department has ignited a debate in Washington: Could blockchain be the key to cutting waste and improving government efficiency? With trillions flowing through federal programs, transparency and cost savings have never been more critical.

Metaplanet Buys Another 330 BTC as BTC Moves Above $87K
$BTC
The publicly-listed Metaplanet announced fresh bitcoin (BTC) purchases on Monday as BTC went above $87,300, reversing last week’s losses.
Metaplanet picked up 330 BTC and brought its overall holdings to 4,855 BTC, worth over $420 million, based on current prices.
This is the Japanese firm's third bitcoin purchase this month, even as broader markets reel from tariff concerns amid a general lack of optimism. Earlier this month, Metaplanet became the tenth-largest public holder of BTC.
However, Metaplanet is not the only Japanese firm raking up bitcoin.Fashion brand ANAP Holdings purchased approximately 16.6591 BTC, valued at around 200 million yen (approximately $1.4 million), last week.
The holdings will be overseen by its subsidiary, ANAP Lightning Capital. The company plans to conduct quarterly market value assessments of its BTC holdings, with any gains or losses reflected in its profit and loss statements.
Its BTC yield from quarter-to-date is at 12.1% so far, with the previous quarter’s yield at 95%. BTC Yield is a custom metric used by the firm to assess the performance of its strategy. This measures the growth of bitcoin per fully diluted share.
Bitcoin has fared relatively better than U.S. equities in such a time of financial instability. U.S. equities lost $5.4 trillion in value in two days after President Trump unveiled his reciprocal tariffs earlier in April, which sent the Nasdaq tumbling down 11% at the time. BTC fell a relatively smaller 6%, in comparison.
Metaplanet's stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange is up nearly 0.9% since open.
