Strategy and Metaplanet have seen massive gains on the stock market due to Bitcoin’s surge in 2024, but the prices of the crypto holdings have also plummeted significantly in the current sell-off. This is how the companies are now dealing with the falling prices.
Strategy remains optimistic
The Bitcoin price has come under significant pressure in recent weeks. Fears of a trade war and a recession in the US, in particular, have caused prices to plummet from a high of $109,000 to temporarily below $80,000.
This has particularly affected Bitcoin holding companies such as Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Since these companies purchased their crypto assets partly on the basis of loans and bonds, their shares react with an internal leverage to the price movements of cryptocurrencies.
But despite the current crash, Strategy appears to have little intention of changing its own strategy. Last week, the company bought $10.7 million in Bitcoin and announced the issuance of additional preferred shares to finance new transactions.
The fact that Strategy is so consistently sticking to its own plans to accumulate Bitcoin is likely due in particular to CEO Michael Saylor. He recently spoke at the Digital Asset Summit 2025 and once again confirmed his positive stance toward the mother of all cryptocurrencies.
“No one understood perfect money until Satoshi Nakamoto gave us perfect money,” explained Saylor. “Bitcoin is perfect money.” According to the expert, BTC is the only easily transportable, non-infinitely multiplying asset.
US President Donald Trump also offered positive words at the conference and once again confirmed his plans, which include, among other things, a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the US.
Metaplanet with optimistic goals
But Bitcoin is also being bought outside the US. The Japanese holding company Metaplanet, which has also had the business purpose of accumulating BTC since 2024, recently purchased €12.9 million of Bitcoin and aims to have a holding of 10,000 BTC by the end of the year. By 2026, they even plan to control 0.1 percent of all coins.
Accordingly, the buying wave among Bitcoin holdings continues, even though Bitcoin prices are currently falling. While many investors are concerned about their financial situation in light of the falling prices, experts believe BTC prices would have to fall much further before Strategy or Metaplanet run into liquidity problems.
