The firm issued $25 million in additional zero-coupon bonds to support its Bitcoin strategy.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy bought 1,895 BTC for $180.3 million last week.
Japan’s Metaplanet has increased its Bitcoin holdings with
the purchase of 555 BTC. The Tokyo-listed firm disclosed the transaction on May
7. It spent $53.4 million on the acquisition, paying an average of $96,134 per
Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, BTCUSD has shown strong bullish behavior on the
H1 chart. The price found support around 93,500 and moved upward with solid
momentum. It faced resistance near 97,700 and pulled back briefly before making
another push toward that level. A breakout above this resistance could lead to
further upward movement.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Holdings Top $536 Million
Following the purchase, Metaplanet now holds a total of
5,555 BTC. At current market prices, this is valued at more than $536 million.
According to CEO Simon Gerovich, the total acquisition cost stands at $481.5
million. The company’s average purchase price across all its Bitcoin holdings
is $86,672 per coin.
To support further purchases, Metaplanet announced the
issuance of $25 million in zero-coupon ordinary bonds. This follows earlier
fundraising efforts using similar instruments. Since early 2024, the firm has
raised over 35 billion yen, or $244 million, through zero-coupon bonds and
stock acquisition rights. These were issued via its financial partner, Evo
Fund.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Portfolio Now Worth $38.08 Billion
In a separate development, Strategy, the company led by

2025, the
firm acquired 1,895 BTC. The total cost of this acquisition was $180.3
million, with an average price of $95,167 per coin. The company announced the
details on May 5.
With this latest transaction, Strategy now holds 555,450
BTC. The total cost of its Bitcoin portfolio stands at $38.08 billion. The
average purchase price across all holdings is $68,550 per Bitcoin.
DeepSeek AI Predicts Bitcoin’s 2025 Potential
DeepSeek AI, a predictive analytics platform, has
contributed to the debate around Bitcoin’s
future with its projections for 2025. Using machine learning, sentiment
analysis, and economic data, the platform offers insights into the potential
future of digital assets.
The platform outlines three possible scenarios for Bitcoin’s
price in 2025. In the base case, Bitcoin is expected to trade between $100,000
and $150,000. A bullish “hyperbitcoinization” phase could push the price to
$350,000, while a black swan scenario might see it reaching $500,000. These
predictions reflect optimism surrounding institutional adoption and the
increasing role of blockchain in global finance.
As institutions continue to show interest, companies like
Metaplanet and Strategy have made notable moves in increasing their Bitcoin
holdings. These actions highlight the growing institutional confidence in
Bitcoin's future, aligning with broader market trends predicted by platforms
like DeepSeek AI.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
