After nearly a three-month pause, Metaplanet has revived its Bitcoin [BTC] accumulation plan. The Bitcoin treasury firm announced that it raised $255 million after selling its stock to global investors. 

According to Metaplanet’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, there was a potential to raise an additional $276 million in capital if investors exercised strike warrants (an option to buy stock at a later date at higher prices). 

Collectively, this would translate to $531 million, with Gerovich adding that,

Will Metaplanet fund a $5.55B Bitcoin war chest?

Metaplanet currently holds 35,102 BTC, with its last purchase made in late December 2025. Since then, the firm has stayed on the sidelines, even during the steep discount window when Bitcoin slipped to the mid‑$60K range.

Yet, the firm aims to scale the 35K BTC stash to 100K BTC holdings by the end of this year. By 2027, Metaplanet seeks to control 210,000 BTC and become one of the holders of 1% of the overall BTC supply. 

If 2026 targets were to be met, then the firm would need to acquire 75K BTC in the next nine months, about $5.55 billion at the current market price. It’s unclear whether it will raise this amount to hit the 2026 BTC plan. But the CEO seems focused on turning the stock’s volatility to raise the funds needed to hit the 210K BTC target. 

Strangely, though, traders appeared bearish after the share liquidation move. On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Metaplanet’s stock dropped 12% at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, the firm has diversified into venture funding and asset management, both aimed at scaling its BTC strategy. 

BTC treasury demand surges 3.6% 

That said, BTC treasury firms have become significant marginal buyers over the past 30 days. According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, public firms’ appetite for BTC increased by 3.6% and now holds 1.178 million BTC, worth over $87B. This was primarily driven by Strategy’s aggressive ‘dip buying’ spree. 

Conversely, BTC ETFs, despite recent renewed optimism, collectively saw a 0.4% increase in demand over the past 30-day period.

Final Summary

  • Metaplanet CEO reassured that the firm’s plan to hold 210K BTC by 2027 was still on track after raising $255 million. 
  • Overall, demand from BTC treasury firms increased by nearly 4%, outpacing ETFs’ paltry 0.4%.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…

Elizabeth Warren raises ethics concerns over White House crypto czar David Sacks’ tenure

Elizabeth Warren raises ethics concerns over White House crypto czar David Sacks’ tenure

The post Elizabeth Warren raises ethics concerns over White House crypto czar David Sacks’ tenure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Democratic lawmakers pressed David Sacks, President Donald Trump’s “crypto and AI czar,” on Sept. 17 to disclose whether he has exceeded the time limits of his temporary White House appointment, raising questions about possible ethics violations. In a letter signed by Senator Elizabeth Warren and seven other members of Congress, the lawmakers said Sacks may have surpassed the 130-day cap for Special Government Employees, a category that allows private-sector professionals to serve the government on a part-time or temporary basis. The Office of Government Ethics sets the cap to minimize conflicts of interest, as SGEs are permitted to continue receiving outside salaries while in government service. Warren has previously raised similar concerns around Sacks’ appointment. Conflict-of-interest worries Sacks, a venture capitalist and general partner at Craft Ventures, has played a high-profile role in shaping Trump administration policy on digital assets and artificial intelligence. Lawmakers argued that his private financial ties to Silicon Valley raise serious ethical questions if he is no longer within the bounds of SGE status. According to the letter: “When issuing your ethics waiver, the White House noted that the careful balance in conflict-of-interest rules for SGEs was reached with the understanding that they would only serve the public ‘on a temporary basis. For you in particular, compliance with the SGE time limit is critical, given the scale of your conflicts of interest.” The group noted that Sacks’ private salary from Craft Ventures is permissible only under the temporary provisions of his appointment. If he has worked past the legal limit, the lawmakers warned, his continued dual roles could represent a breach of ethics. Counting the days According to the letter, Sacks was appointed in December 2024 and began working around Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025. By the lawmakers’ calculation, he reached the 130-day threshold in…
