Crypto community figure Ameen Soleimani recently sparked a conversation on X with a poll asking whether Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, is more of a “king” or a “prophet.” The poll aimed to frame Buterin’s influence in two distinct ways.

Metaplanet has announced that its total Bitcoin holdings have reached 2,100 BTC, now worth $196 million. The firm revealed it recently bought an additional 68.59 BTC for $6.6 million at an average price of $96,335. 0.01% of Total Bitcoin Supply In a February 20 X post, the company highlighted that its BTC reserves now make up “0.01% of total Bitcoin supply.” The Japanese investment firm has been rapidly increasing its Bitcoin holdings as part of its treasury operations. According to its “Bitcoin Plan,” shared on January 28, Metaplanet aims to reach 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026. The outfit has significantly increased its purchases of the number one cryptocurrency since mid-2024 when it started using it as a way to protect against inflation. This latest acquisition comes shortly after a previous one earlier this week, where the firm bought 269.43 BTC worth $25.6 million, bringing its total holdings to 2,031 BTC. Before that, Metaplanet had made several other purchases, including its largest one to date in December 2024, when it obtained nearly 620 BTC worth $60.6 million. CEO Simon Gerovich has said that adopting the Bitcoin Standard has been a game-changer, helping establish Metaplanet as Tokyo’s top BTC-focused company. Over the past year, its stock price has surged by more than 4,000%. Additionally, the firm is set to be included in the MSCI Japan Index on February 28, a move expected to attract more investors. Capital Market Activities Metaplanet has been growing its reserves through its Bitcoin Treasury Operations, which officially became a business line on December 18, 2024. The company has been funding these purchases using capital market activities and its revenue. In line with this, its Board of Directors has approved several financial moves. On January 28, 2025, it issued 21 million stock acquisition rights to EVO FUND in five tranches with an adjustable exercise price. On February 10, it also issued zero-coupon bonds worth 4 billion yen to EVO FUND, with the money set aside to buy Bitcoin. By February 13, Metaplanet had received the full 4 billion yen and adjusted its spending to speed up BTC acquisitions. On February 19, it redeemed 2 billion yen of these bonds early, using money from EVO FUND’s exercise of stock acquisition rights. Between February 18 and 19, just over 11% of the 13th Series of stock acquisition rights were exercised, raising 3.02 billion yen and contributing 2.38% toward Metaplanet’s “21 Million Plan.” The post Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings to 2,100 BTC with $6.6M Acquisition appeared first on CryptoPotato.

Over the last three weeks, the correlation between bitcoin (BTC) and the S&P 500 has been declining. As of February 17, the correlation dropped to zero, meaning BTC completely decoupled from the leading stock market index. According to data analyzed by market intelligence firm IntoTheBlock, the decorrelation between BTC and the S&P 500 could be a bullish signal because BTC soared past $100,000 after the last time the market saw such a low correlation. This was in early November, shortly after the United States presidential elections. Bitcoin Decorrelates From S&P 500 Bitcoin trading independently of the stock market suggests that there is a shift in market dynamics affecting the cryptocurrency. At the time of writing, BTC hovered around $97,500, still within the $91,000-$102,000 range, which it had consolidated in the past few weeks. On the other hand, the S&P 500 recorded a second consecutive all-time high on Wednesday, climbing 0.2% to 6,140.88. Other major stock indexes like the Dow Jones and Nasdaq Composite also closed slightly higher, hovering less than 1% from unprecedented levels. Bitcoin’s recent decorrelation from the stock market became increasingly evident in late January after the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced that interest rates would remain unchanged at 4.25%-4.50%. At the time, BTC showed no significant reaction to the news; however, the stock market and traditional equities experienced increased volatility. CryptoPotato reported that the reaction from both the traditional finance and crypto industries suggested that digital assets were evolving beyond the narrative of being just “high-leverage tech stocks.” It also meant that cryptocurrencies were becoming more independent from traditional assets. The development has persisted in the last few weeks, with bitcoin’s correlation with the S&P 500 now becoming non-existent. A Bullish Sign? Market analysts have discovered that most major crypto bull runs have occurred during times when BTC has recorded minimal reliance on global equity markets. This substantiates IntoTheBlock’s speculation that bitcoin’s decorrelation from the S&P 500 could be a bullish sign and that a major rally for the leading cryptocurrency could be on the horizon. Regardless, analysts at the crypto exchange Bitfinex insist that BTC is still vulnerable to macro developments and is currently behaving more like a risk-on asset than a store of value.

A straightforward strategy… pic.twitter.com/LlKVmw7h2v At the time of writing, the price was trading between $0.075 to $0.080, a well-set support area. Historically, this price level served strong support that resulted in a number of price rebounds.A bullish breakout above $0.080 – $0.085 would create a possibility for the price to reach $0.09 – $0.10. The price decline will extend to $0.070 – $0.065 levels when it drops under $0.074. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 42.15 with a slightly bearish to neutral sentiment. It is coming off oversold levels, so a relief bounce can’t be ruled out. If the RSI again approaches 50 levels, bullish strength can pick up speed. The MACD is showing a weak bullish cross with the MACD line slightly higher than the signal line. Histogram bars remain at a value of zero, meaning that the momentum is also not strong either way. Strong bullish strength will be established by a stronger cross with growing histogram bars. Traders are recommended to look out for a confirmation of the breakout at $0.080 – $0.085. Breakout above this price could aim at $0.10 – $0.12. Breakdown below $0.075 could initiate a fall to $0.065 – $0.060. With OGN at a key support area, price action within the next couple of days will indicate if it will go with a bullish continuation or bearish reversal. Both volume and momentum metrics will play a key role in validating the next significant movement.
