Asian investment firms are ramping up their Bitcoin accumulation strategies, with Japanese Metaplanet and Hong Kong's HK Asia Holdings leading the way.
Metaplanet, based in Tokyo, revealed on April 24 that it had acquired an additional 145 Bitcoin (BTC) for 1.9 billion Japanese yen (about USD 13.4 million), bringing its total holdings to 5,000 BTC.
Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, confirmed that the company had reached 50% of its initial goal of accumulating 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
The company has been aggressive in its Bitcoin treasury operations, using bond issuances and Bitcoin income strategies like cash-secured BTC put option sales to finance its acquisitions.
Since it began its Bitcoin strategy, Metaplanet's shares have appreciated more than 3,000%. The company aims to own 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.
HK Asia Holdings has also announced plans to raise about HKD 65 million (USD 8.35 million) through the issuance of new shares and convertible bonds to potentially buy more BTC.
According to a presentation on April 23, the company subscribed to stock subscription agreements and convertible notes (CN) after trading hours.
The agreement includes the issuance of 3,272,000 new shares at a subscription price of HKD 4.01 per share, along with convertible notes valued at HKD 52.38 million in aggregate principal amount. The newly issued shares will represent approximately 0.82% of the total outstanding shares of HK Asia Holdings.
Although the presentation does not mention that HK Asia Holdings intends to use the funds to buy Bitcoin, many in the cryptocurrency community speculated that the capital increase is expected to finance more Bitcoin acquisitions.

Ideas take time to settle. It is common to believe that something has been understood, and then after letting the idea rest for a while, or mulling it over a bit more, to realize that only the surface has been scratched. Even more, it takes time to take action in accordance with the acquired knowledge, and even more to integrate it as a new element of the self-image, truly grasping it as a knowledge that has internally changed the worldview and now expresses itself effortlessly in our most everyday actions.
That bitcoin has surpassed Alphabet (Google) as the fifth most valuable asset in the world is a sign that the understanding of what Bitcoin is has begun to settle. The following image graphically captures the essence of what we are saying.
Dash is a cryptocurrency unlike most others. It is not a development platform nor is it like the early cryptocurrencies with their huge transaction fees, long transaction wait times, and volatility — Dash is oriented on a completely different level. Developers define Dash as a cryptocurrency analogue for electronic cash. They want Dash to be as liquid and as fast as the online fiat money that is primarily used now. Dash is a decentralized peer-to-peer electronic cash built on the core of Litecoin, which enables features like PrivateSend and InstantSend. Dash is decentralized in governance and founded through its own network via mining, which makes it autonomous and independent of any authority, except for its own users. The average block mining time is 2.5 minutes on the Dash Blockchain, making Dash significantly faster than Bitcoin.

En una publicación del 11 de abril X, Balchunas calificó esta circunstancia como «una locura» que se da en un contexto de incertidumbre global desatada por la guerra arancelaria impulsada por la administración de Donald Trump.
