Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made another major investment to boost its Bitcoin portfolio. According to the firm’s latest disclosure , it purchased an additional 2,205 Bitcoin ( BTC ) for roughly $237.9 million (34.49 billion yen). The tokens were obtained at an average cost of 15.64 million yen per bitcoin, approximately $107,800, now bringing its total holdings to 15,555 BTC. The latest purchase marks the firm’s largest single-day purchase since commencing its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, funded by a mix of bond issuances and stock warrant exercises. *Metaplanet Acquires Additional 2,205 $BTC , Total Holdings Reach 15,555 BTC* pic.twitter.com/VqKGOwCs6N — Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet_JP) July 7, 2025 Just days prior to this acquisition, Metaplanet redeemed 6 billion yen worth of bonds issued in late June, using proceeds from newly exercised warrants. The company has consistently followed this approach, raising capital and converting it directly into Bitcoin to expand its treasury holdings. So far, the Tokyo-based firm has now spent a total of 225.8 billion yen, around $1.6 billion, on Bitcoin since beginning its treasury strategy, with an average cost basis of 14.5 million yen per BTC. This continues to build momentum toward its bigger goal of reaching 30,000 BTC by the end of the year, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027.

However, with its latest purchases, it’s now closing in on the fourth spot. The company is less than 4,000 BTC behind mining and digital infrastructure company Riot Platforms, which holds 19,225 BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries data . Should the firm keep up its current pace, it could soon overtake Riot to claim the number four position. Metaplanet also reported a 129.4% BTC Yield for Q2, with an additional 15.1% in the first week of July. It gained 5,237 BTC in Q2, valued at roughly 82.5 billion yen (about $513 million), and another 2,017 BTC in early July, worth around 31.8 billion yen (about $198 million). If the firm hits its long-term goal of 210,000 BTC by 2027, it would control about 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

The post Bitcoin Crash to $70K? Analyst Warns of Massive Sell-Off Ahead appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Veteran crypto trader Capo of Crypto has just doubled down on his warning that Bitcoin could soon see a huge drop to as low as $70,000. Despite Bitcoin staying above $100K for now, Capo says big hidden moves and fresh global risks could break this key level and spark a massive sell-off. Here’s why he’s not backing down from his bearish call and what could trigger the next big shake-up. Altcoins Fallen 30% – 50% While Bitcoin has managed to hover around $108,000, most altcoins have already seen heavy losses, falling 30% to 50% from their May peaks. According to Capo, this drop was no surprise , he called it perfectly and has continued to add to his short trades, especially focusing on altcoins he believes have more downside ahead. But here’s where it gets more interesting: Bitcoin is still holding above $100,000, mainly due to institutional investors accumulating BTC for their reserves, which creates steady buying pressure. However, he finds it odd that with all this buying, Bitcoin’s price hasn’t soared higher. “Something feels off,” he says, suggesting that bigger whales may be quietly selling at these levels. Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Come Alive Adding to the uncertainty, several old Bitcoin wallets from the Satoshi era have suddenly become active, moving over 80,000 BTC, worth nearly $8.7 billion, after 14 years. It’s unclear if these coins will be sold, but Capo sees this as a sign that large holders might be distributing, not accumulating, at current prices. Bitcoin To Drop To $70k, IF! What makes Capo even more bearish is his view that if Bitcoin breaks below the $100K level clearly, it could soon drop to the next support area around $92K–$93K. Making this even worse, a deeper slip could drag BTC to $60K–$70K, and altcoins might collapse another 50%–80% in a panic sell-off. China–Taiwan Tensions Loom Large One trigger he points to is the China–Taiwan conflict, which he says is quietly reaching a dangerous point. Any disruption in Taiwan’s vital chip supply could shake global markets and push investors to panic, and crypto won’t be safe. As of now, bitcoin is shying away from its all-time high, currently trading around $108,912 , reflecting a rise of 1% seen in the last 24 hours, with a market cap hitting $2.16 trillion.

John Bollinger, the inventor of Bollinger Bands, has indicated that bitcoin may be poised for an upside breakout, as noted in a recent social media post.

Technical analyst Kevin, better known on X as @Kev_Capital_TA, rekindled debate over Dogecoin’s market structure on Sunday when he urged traders to ignore the “non-stop TA on DOGE for engagement purposes” and to concentrate on the two signals that have guided the meme-coin’s price for more than two years. “Not much has changed for Dogecoin here,” he wrote. “Don’t let the other analysts on this platform flood you with non stop TA on DOGE for engagement purposes. We know what to watch for here.” Dogecoin’s Fate Hinges On This Kevin’s view hinges on the weekly chart he posted on 26 June. At that time, Dogecoin (DOGE) was hovering near $0.166—and, according to his chart, sitting directly on an ascending support cluster that has defined every major move since the 2022 bear-market washout. “Looking at Dogecoin on the weekly time frame,” he said, “you can see that ever since the bear market breakout on the weekly RSI back in 2022, any time DOGE has hit that level again—which has happened five times now—Doge has gone on to see major bounces. A failure of this weekly RSI level along with a failure of the $0.143-$0.127 level would be the line in the sand between longer term bearish price action or continued bull.” Related Reading: The $1 Dogecoin Dream Is Alive: Chartist Lays Out Parabolic Scenario The chart shows Dogecoin sitting just millimetres above a confluence of the green 0.382 Fibonacci retracement ($0.13778), the upper boundary of a falling trend line that has been in force since May 2021 and the weekly 200 SMA and EMA. Previously, Kevin stated via X: “Weekly 200 SMA and EMA are must holds for Dogecoin along with the macro .382 and down trending support.” Beneath lies the horizontal “line in the sand” at $0.143-$0.127—a zone Kevin has ring-fenced with bold yellow trend lines. Below the price pane, the weekly Relative Strength Index tells an equally focused story. Kevin has drawn a white band just above the 40-line; the yellow RSI profile has now tapped that band five times. Each tag coincided with a price trough circled in orange on the main chart. The oscillator’s simple moving average (plotted in magenta) has curled below 50 but remains above the 40-support, keeping the pattern intact. Related Reading: Dogecoin’s Quiet Setup Could Detonate Shorty, Says Analyst—Here’s The Target Overhead, Kevin’s chart maps a hierarchy of Fibonacci checkpoints: the 0.5 retracement at $0.18988 (red), the tightly stacked 0.618 ($0.26169) and 0.65 ($0.28548) (yellow), and the 0.786 ($0.41317) (blue). Two large violet supply boxes—one between $1.00 and $1.30 and another around $2.20 and $2.70—represent possible bull run targets. Kevin refrains from forecasting how quickly those zones might come into play, emphasising instead that holding the current support cluster is the single prerequisite for any higher-time-frame bullish thesis. The analyst also zoomed out to the broader digital-asset landscape in a Sunday follow-up. “The biggest moves for #Altcoins have yet to occur,” he argued, tying potential break-outs to macro-economic easing. “If the macro leads us to further easing and the market sniffs that out … then the ingredients will be in place for a massive move higher on Alts. Altcoins have always required the proper ingredients to make a sustained out-performance over #BTC for months. We’re closer than many understand; we just need a few more things to fall into place.” For now, Kevin’s message is stripped to its essentials: watch the weekly RSI band and the $0.143-$0.127 price shelf. As long as both survive, the chartist sees no reason to overhaul his structural bias—no matter how crowded the Dogecoin commentary stream becomes. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.172.

The post Donald Trump Slams Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’ as a GOP-Killing Train Wreck appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News In a dramatic twist to the already turbulent U.S. political landscape, Elon Musk has unveiled plans to form a third political force—“The America Party.” But not everyone’s impressed. U.S. President Donald Trump wasted no time slamming the move, calling Musk’s latest political venture a “train wreck” and warning it could splinter the Republican vote in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. Trump Slams Musk for Going ‘Off the Rails’ Trump didn’t hold back in his criticism, posting on Truth Social that Musk had gone “off the rails,” calling his political aspirations a “train wreck.” He warned that third-party efforts historically don’t succeed in the U.S. due to the rigid two-party system. “The system seems not designed for them,” Trump noted. The president’s skepticism is backed by past failures. Ross Perot, another billionaire outsider, gained nearly 19% of the popular vote in 1992 but failed to win a single electoral college vote. His Reform Party did see one win, Jesse Ventura’s 1998 gubernatorial victory in Minnesota, but even that fizzled out as Ventura left the party shortly after. These examples reinforce Trump’s belief that Musk’s political path may be short-lived. Musk Launches ‘America Party’ to Fight the GOP and Dems Just hours before Trump’s comments, Musk confirmed via X that he had officially launched the America Party. The announcement came in response to Congress passing Trump’s controversial tax-and-spending bill. Musk had warned he’d retaliate by launching a party if the bill went through, and he made good on the threat. Filings linked to the America Party began appearing with the Federal Election Commission. Musk later clarified that at least one of these was fake, and doubts remain about the authenticity of others. The Bill That Fueled the Feud The clash between Trump and Musk largely centers around the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which Musk called a “disgusting abomination.” The bill, estimated to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt, undermines the mission of DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, where Musk served briefly. Before the bill passed, Musk vowed to oust any GOP lawmaker who supported it, a threat he now seems prepared to act on. [post_titles_links postid=”479146″] Rising Fears of a GOP Split I predict Tucker Carlson, MTG and Thomas Massie will join the new “America Party” to spite President Trump. — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) July 5, 2025 Trump loyalists are growing increasingly worried that Musk’s America Party could split the Republican vote, threatening their slim majority in Congress. Influencer Laura Loomer even suggested that Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie may consider defecting. Such moves could divide conservative voters and hand electoral wins to Democrats in tightly contested districts. Musk’s Tactical Play: Flipping Key Seats Rather than launching a presidential campaign, Musk appears to be playing the long game. He stated that his party will “laser-focus” on 2–3 Senate seats and 8–10 House districts. In today’s polarized political environment, even a handful of wins could give Musk’s party the leverage to block legislation and reshape Congressional dynamics.

Purchase Details CEO Simon Gerovich announced the news on Monday via an X post . He revealed that the outfit acquired the Bitcoin for $238.7 million at an average price of $108,237 each. As of July 7, the company now holds a total of 15,555 BTC, which were procured for around $1.54 billion at $99,307 per unit.

This latest purchase comes after it picked up 1,234 BTC for $133 million on June 26 and another 1,111 BTC worth $118 million just days before that. It also spent $117 million on 1,112 BTC on June 16, which pushed its holdings to 10,000 BTC.

The company plans to grow its holdings to 30,000 BTC by the end of the year and aims for 210,000 BTC by 2027, which would put its ownership of Bitcoin at 1% of the king cryptocurrency’s total supply. Elsewhere, Europe’s first Bitcoin treasury company also said it has secured 116 BTC for $12.6 million on July 7. The Blockchain Group now holds a total of 1,904 BTC, valued at approximately $203 million. The France-based firm also reported a year-to-date BTC Yield of 1,348.8%.

On June 16, it issued $210 million in zero-coupon straight bonds to EVO Fund, with all proceeds going toward BTC. Later that month, it announced the release of its 19th Series of Ordinary Bonds valued at around $190 million. Earlier in June, the outfit also completed the early redemption and full repayment of its 16th, 17th, and 18th Series bonds for $281 million using proceeds from the exercise of its stock acquisition rights.
