According to Lookonchain, Metaplanet (@Metaplanet_JP) has acquired an additional 1,088 BTC valued at $114 million at an average price of $108,633, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 8,888 BTC worth $932 million. The company's average buy price now stands at $96,297. This significant accumulation by a public company signals strong institutional confidence in Bitcoin and may impact market sentiment, potentially driving further buying interest from crypto investors seeking to track institutional strategies (source: Lookonchain, intel.arkm.com).

According to Crypto Rover, Germany sold 49,858 BTC at an average price of $57,900 in July 2024, which would now be worth approximately $5.24 billion at current market prices. By selling early, Germany missed out on $2.3 billion in potential profits, as noted by Crypto Rover on Twitter. This significant missed gain highlights the risks of government-led crypto liquidations and could influence institutional strategies, potentially increasing cautious accumulation and holding behaviors among major market participants.
