I still don't have my one year hold duration, if you look around on YouTube or see the kind of videos, you naturally have your thoughts on should I sell, should I buy back in when it's on the ground but I personally find it very silly. Since November, I have converted a lot to Bitcoin. I'm still of the opinion that you should continue to hold on to Bitcoin. What do you think?

Metaplanet Inc, a publicly listed company based in Tokyo, has established itself as a pioneer in institutional Bitcoin adoption in Asia. Since the launch of the "Bitcoin Standard" in April 2024, the company has pursued an aggressive strategy to integrate Bitcoin into its corporate finances.

📈 Impressive performance and capital raising

In December 2024, Metaplanet issued ¥4.5 billion (approx. $30 million) worth of zero-interest bonds to finance further Bitcoin purchases. This measure led to a 51% increase in the share price within five trading days and a total increase of 2,450% in 2024, with the company's market value exceeding the $1 billion mark.

In January 2025, Metaplanet announced that it would issue 21 million shares to raise approximately $745 million. This capital will be used to increase Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and to 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.

🏦 Strategic partnerships and infrastructure

Metaplanet works with SBI VC Trade to securely store its Bitcoin holdings. This partnership allows the company to use Bitcoin as collateral for financing while ensuring tax efficiency.

In addition, Metaplanet plans to open a US office in Florida to raise up to $250 million to further expand its Bitcoin strategy.

🏨 Integration of Bitcoin into the core business

Metaplanet is also transforming its traditional hotel business. The last remaining hotel in Tokyo, the Royal Oak in Gotanda, is being renamed "The Bitcoin Hotel". It will serve as a venue for Bitcoin seminars and investor events and strengthen the company's position in Japan's crypto ecosystem.

📊 Current status and outlook

Metaplanet currently holds 1,762 BTC worth around $171 million. The company plans to increase these holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and to 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.

With this strategy, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a leader in institutional Bitcoin adoption in Asia. The combination of aggressive capital raising, strategic partnerships and integration of Bitcoin into its core business makes Metaplanet an exciting player in the global crypto market.

Servus,

I am thinking about building up a Cardano position. I am currently relatively well positioned in crypto with 50 $SOL (-0,06%) relatively well positioned, but also want to add a second currency. That's why I'm considering possibly adding 2000-3000 Cardano.

What do you think of the idea? What suggestions do you have for which cryptocurrencies would be worth investing in at the moment?

Solana recovers strongly

Slowly but surely, sentiment on the crypto market is picking up again. Solana $SOL (-0,06%) has recovered from its low point last week and is now trading at 124 dollars. This represents an increase of almost 30% since the crash at the beginning of the week. While Bitcoin and Ethereum have also risen, the layer 2 project Solaxy $SOL (-0,06%) is attracting increasing attention. Analysts are of the opinion that Solaxy has the potential to become a trillion-dollar project in the future. They even see the Solana share price in a position to exceed the 500-dollar mark. Solaxy could help Solana to minimize transaction abortions and downtime and thus promote mass adoption of the blockchain. Solaxy's $SOLX token is currently in pre-sale and has already turned over almost 30 million dollars. If Solaxy catches on, both Solana and Solaxy could become extremely profitable for investors.

Wall Street: Dow Jones and NASDAQ on the upswing

In the USA, the stock markets were volatile on Friday. The Dow Jones opened at 39,493.42 points and initially oscillated between the profit and loss zones. However, it ultimately rose by 1.56 % to 40,212.71 points. The NASDAQ Composite also began with a loss of 0.18 %, but recovered and closed up 2.06 % at 16,724.46 points. The S&P 500 showed a similar development and ended with a gain of 1.81 % at 5,363.36 points. These positive movements were partly fueled by the willingness of the US government under President Donald Trump to negotiate tariff agreements with more than 70 countries. At the same time, investors remain focused on the development of bond yields and the ongoing trade conflicts between the US and China. The yield on ten-year US government bonds rose to 4.429 %, which is drawing the attention of market participants. The upcoming balance sheet season for the major US banks is also attracting increased attention on the market.

I think and hope that after today's sell-off even the last one has realized that we are moving deeper and deeper towards crypto winter.

Above all, it is becoming clear that $BTC (+0,05%) is not crisis-proof and will be sold off like everything else. From $SOL (-0,06%)
$ETH (-0,26%) and even more so $KAS (-0,52%) I don't even need to start 😕 Of course, I'm not closing my eyes completely and I know that you can also make a bit of money with dump and pump coins 🤑

My condolences to the people who are now deep in the red 😕
