The post Metaplanet Pauses Bitcoin Purchases Amid MSCI Review and Market Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet, Japan’s fourth-largest Bitcoin treasury holder, has refrained from purchasing BTC since late September 2025 amid a market downturn and MSCI index review pressures. This pause stems from a collapsed mNAV ratio limiting capital raises, despite securing a $50 million credit line for potential future buys and stock buybacks. Metaplanet’s last BTC acquisition was 2,744 coins on September 29, 2025, boosting holdings to 30,823 BTC when prices hovered around $112,000. Bitcoin’s subsequent 30% drop to $89,000 presented buying opportunities, yet Metaplanet held back due to financial constraints. The firm’s mNAV dipped below 1x, recovering slightly to 1.01x by early December, amid risks from potential MSCI Japan index exclusion.

What is Metaplanet’s Current Approach to Bitcoin Treasury Management? Metaplanet Bitcoin treasury management has shifted to a cautious stance in late 2025, with no new acquisitions since September despite favorable dip prices. The Japanese firm, holding 30,823 BTC valued at approximately $2.75 billion at current levels, prioritizes stabilizing its market-to-net-asset-value (mNAV) ratio before resuming purchases. This strategy reflects broader challenges in corporate Bitcoin adoption, including index inclusion risks and market volatility, as reported by data from CryptoQuant. As Bitcoin prices fell from an all-time high above $126,000 to $89,000—a decline of over 30%—many expected aggressive buying from treasury-focused companies like Metaplanet. Instead, the firm has focused on internal financial health. Experts note that this restraint could signal a maturing approach to digital asset integration in corporate balance sheets, balancing growth ambitions with risk management. The overall Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve, with institutional holders navigating regulatory and market hurdles. Metaplanet’s position as a key player in Asia underscores the global interplay between traditional finance and cryptocurrency.…

The post Bitcoin’s supply-in-profit collapse mirrors 2021 – Bounce incoming? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin [BTC] once again pushed its way back above the $90k-mark. The buyers’ efforts over the past week saw the $90k-level challenged and briefly overhauled twice. To keep this short-term uptrend going, the $94k-level must be breached on the next attempt. A recent AMBCrypto report observed that miner reserves have been growing over the past few days. It strengthened the case for a potential local bottom. At the same time, there may be reason to expect more sideways movement in December, rather than a clear upward trend. Reasons why Bitcoin could have found its local bottom Source: Darkfost on X In a post on X, analyst Darkfost observed that the spot trading volume across major exchanges slowed down in November. Binance, which still held the largest volume share, saw a $40 billion volume drop from October to November. Bitcoin had shed 17.5% of its value for the month, with the analyst noting that the deeper we go into the cycle, the less prominent the Bitcoin spot trading activity became. The successive peaks were noticeably smaller too. Meanwhile, Futures trading activity has continued to be high. Spot volume, as a ratio, was only 0.23 of the Futures volume. Moreover, the market sentiment continued to remain in the “fear” territory. The dry up of global demand saw more and more people talk about a bear market phase, which is still not confirmed. Fearful market sentiment and low trading volume usually accompany a local market bottom. The unfortunate problem is that these conditions also hint at a transition to a bear market.

Put simply, it meant that until very recently, the supply in profit showed…
