Metaplanet just doubled down again, believing in its Bitcoin price prediction. The Japanese Bitcoin treasury firm announced its 20th bond issuance on Friday, raising ¥8 billion ($50 million) in zero-interest debt to fund further Bitcoin purchases, even as BTC trades near $77,800.

According to a Friday filing, EVO Fund, the Cayman Islands-based investor that has anchored every prior offering, fully subscribed to the latest issuance. The bonds carry zero interest, zero collateral, and zero guarantee, an unusual structure that functions as a rolling credit line, with each bond auto-redeemed as EVO exercises stock warrants in subsequent financing rounds.
Metaplanet now holds 40,177 BTC, valued at $3.11 billion at the current price, making it the third-largest listed Bitcoin treasury globally. That stack came with a cost as the firm reported a $619 million net loss for fiscal 2025, driven almost entirely by unrealized Bitcoin markdowns.
Metaplanet’s aggressive accumulation, 5,075 BTC added in Q1 alone, lands against a backdrop of recovering macro sentiment and renewed institutional interest.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Reclaim $80,000 Next Week as Corporate Buying Pressure Builds?
Bitcoin’s 10% monthly gain to current levels $77,800 marks a meaningful recovery from the pressure tied to geopolitical tensions earlier this quarter, with analysts tracking a critical support band around $68,000 as the floor that needs to hold for any sustained rally thesis.
The technical setup is cautiously constructive. Price is recovering from a multi-month drawdown, and corporate accumulation events like Metaplanet’s bond issuance have historically reinforced institutional demand narratives, much as the BlackRock and Strategy accumulation cycles that preceded previous rallies.
For next week, BTC needs to hold the $75,000 support, with accelerated institutional flows, for its price to retest $80,000 next week.
Macro catalysts, including policy signals from Washington, remain a wildcard that could accelerate any of these scenarios without warning. Metaplanet itself is targeting 100,000 BTC by 2026, which implies sustained buying pressure regardless of short-term price action.

Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early Mover Upside as Bitcoin Tests Key Levels
Bitcoin here is a recovery story, but at a market cap measured in the trillions, the explosive percentage gains belong to an earlier chapter. Traders looking for asymmetric exposure to Bitcoin’s momentum are increasingly looking one layer down: at the infrastructure being built on top of it.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) positions itself at exactly that intersection. The project claims the title of the first-ever Bitcoin Layer 2 with Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration, a combination designed to bring sub-second finality and low-cost smart contract execution to the Bitcoin ecosystem without sacrificing Bitcoin’s underlying security.
Hyper is a project that grafts Solana’s speed onto Bitcoin’s trust layer, a combination that solves three of Bitcoin’s most persistent limitations: slow transactions, high fees, and limited programmability.
The presale has raised $32 million at a current price of $0.0136, with staking available at a high 30% APY for early participants. Feature highlights include a Decentralized Canonical Bridge for BTC transfers and high-speed SVM-powered smart contracts.
