Japan’s publicly listed bitcoin treasury company, Metaplanet Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 3350 / OTCQX: MTPLF), announced on April 1 that it had increased its bitcoin reserves by 696 BTC during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The acquisition was carried out through the company’s Bitcoin Income Generation business, which utilizes a strategy of selling cash-secured put options to generate income and accumulate bitcoin at advantageous prices. The firm disclosed that the bitcoin was purchased at an average price of 14,586,230 yen per bitcoin, totaling 10.152 billion yen in value. These transactions bring Metaplanet’s total bitcoin holdings to 4,046 BTC, with a cumulative average cost of 12,943,181 yen per coin. The company detailed the performance of its option-selling strategy, noting that it received 770,351,229 yen in premium income during the quarter, which is equivalent to 50.26 BTC. Metaplanet stated: A total of 696.00 BTC was added to the company’s holdings under this strategy during the quarter. The effective cost of acquiring bitcoin, when factoring in the premium income, was reduced to 13,479,404 yen per bitcoin—below the market price at the time these options were initiated. This approach allowed Metaplanet to optimize its capital deployment, obtaining more bitcoin for less capital than if it had executed direct spot market purchases. The firm also provided updated key performance indicators, which it uses to evaluate the success of its bitcoin accumulation efforts. Metaplanet stated: From July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024, the company’s BTC Yield was 41.7%. From October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the company’s BTC Yield was 309.8%. Quarter to Date, from January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025, the company achieved a BTC Yield of 95.6%. The BTC Yield reflects the change in bitcoin per fully diluted share, and is used by Metaplanet to assess shareholder value creation through its bitcoin strategy. In addition, the company has continued to raise capital via stock acquisition rights and bond issuances to fund these purchases. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says "every stock, every bond, every fund, every asset can be tokenized."

While European markets are experiencing a technical rise, attention turns to Washington. Supported by encouraging economic indicators, the main stock indices of the Old Continent closed in the green this Tuesday. However, this improvement remains fragile. Investors are holding their breath ahead of potentially decisive announcements from Donald Trump, who could reignite the U.S. trade offensive. The prospect of new tariff barriers rekindles tensions and threatens to reshuffle the cards of the global economic balance. The European stock exchanges ended significantly up this Tuesday, driven by economic data deemed encouraging in the eurozone. The CAC 40 climbed by 1.15 % to 7880.1 points, the German DAX gained 1.67 %, and the British FTSE rose 0.61 %. This increase is primarily explained by a deceleration of inflation in the eurozone in March, which fuels hopes for a more accommodative monetary policy from the ECB. Inflation is slowing down, paving the way for a more flexible ECB, while the EuroStoxx 50 index also recorded a gain of 1.49 %. This context has rekindled appetite for risky assets, which has influenced bond markets. Among the key elements that supported the markets this Tuesday, there are: The day’s rise is therefore not a reflection of genuine enthusiasm, but rather a tactical positioning in the face of a European central bank likely to ease its policy, as the U.S. economy shows signs of critical slowing. The relative optimism observed in the markets hides a deeper concern related to American trade policy. President Donald Trump is set to speak this Wednesday . He is expected to impose a 20 % increase in tariffs on nearly all American imports. This measure would mark a significant escalation in his nationalist economic agenda. “Trump is implementing his program strongly, without worrying about disruptions in financial markets,” summarizes Alexandre Hezez, a strategist at Banque Richelieu. He adds that “his back-and-forths reduce the confidence of economic players and force central banks to adjust their strategy.” The American economic situation exacerbates these tensions. The ISM manufacturing index, published on Tuesday, fell into contraction territory, illustrating a deterioration of industrial activity. At the same time, companies are reporting a surge in input prices, which have reached a peak since June 2022, a situation that could be amplified by a more aggressive tariff policy. Trump, facing a slim majority in the House of Representatives, seeks to “massively cut spending” and to “demonstrate the positive effects of his policy for American households,” even at the risk of “creating a significant short-term deterioration,” according to Alexandre Hezez. This stated positioning could place the Fed in a delicate situation and affect global economic stability in the long run. If the announced measures are realized, the repercussions could be multiple. In terms of trade, they risk provoking retaliation, exacerbating tensions with China or the European Union, and fueling imported inflation. On the market level, they could further erode confidence and push investors towards safe-haven assets like gold, sovereign bonds… or cryptos.
