What to know:

  • Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich reaffirmed the company's commitment to buying bitcoin despite a sharp pullback in both the cryptocurrency's price and the firm’s shares.
  • The Tokyo-based company now holds 35,102 bitcoin worth about $2.5 billion and, with an average purchase price near $107,000 per coin, is sitting on large unrealized losses and roughly $280 million of debt.
  • Under its "555 Million Plan," Metaplanet aims to grow its holdings to 100,000 bitcoin by the end of 2026 and 210,000 by 2027.

Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet (3350), doubled down on the company's bitcoin buying strategy even as shares in Asia's largest publicly traded holder of the cryptocurrency fell.

In a Friday post on X, Gerovich said Metaplanet would “steadily continue to accumulate bitcoin, expand revenue and prepare for the next phase of growth.” He thanked shareholders who continued to back the company despite bitcoin’s downward trend: The largest cryptocurrency has lost more than 47% of its value since touching a record high in October and fell 14% on Thursday alone.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government.
