BlackRock and Metaplanet Buying Bitcoin on the Decline, Targeting the Long Term
Oct 11, 2024 at 09:05 pm
The crypto market is going through a turbulent period. Bitcoin is teetering below the $61,000 mark, sowing panic among individual investors.
The crypto market is experiencing turbulence. As Bitcoin teeters below the $61,000 mark, panic is setting in among individual investors. But far from being deterred, financial giants like BlackRock and Metaplanet are showing opportunism.
Taking advantage of this decline, they are strengthening their positions and highlighting once again their confidence in the future of crypto. But why are these financial titans flocking to Bitcoin as others turn away?
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is not slowing down on its Bitcoin acquisition, despite the recent drops.
Over the past fifteen days, the asset manager has acquired an additional 12,272 BTC, bringing its total reserve to nearly 369,822 BTC, valued at around 22.4 billion dollars. It thus catapults the United States to the top.
This acquisition comes after a notable lull, between the end of August and mid-September, during which BlackRock did not make new purchases, preferring to observe the market fluctuations.
However, since September 24, BlackRock is back. This time, the purchases intensify with each Bitcoin dip. According to analysts, this persistence indicates a strong conviction in the potential of crypto as an alternative against inflation and the depreciation of fiat currencies, particularly the US dollar.
Moreover, BlackRock is not only buying but also openly advising the acquisition of Bitcoin, highlighting its role as a safe haven in an unstable economic environment.
On the other hand, Metaplanet, the investment fund of Jaan Tallinn, co-founder of Skype, has also positioned itself strategically.
The firm recently acquired 108.99 BTC for a total of one billion yen, bringing its holdings to 748.50 BTC. For Metaplanet, this acquisition is a new step in its long-term investment strategy, taking advantage of bear cycles to accumulate more Bitcoin.
While BlackRock and MetaPlanet are adopting a “buy the dip” approach, some crypto whales are panicking.
The recent drops in Bitcoin have triggered massive sales, highlighting increased nervousness among institutional and individual investors.
A striking example: a whale, having amassed over 11,000 BTC since June, liquidated 800 BTC following a sudden drop, generating a significant loss of nearly 26 million dollars.
This sale reflects a trend among the biggest Bitcoin holders who, despite their market influence, are not immune to emotional movements.
The panic movements of these whales amplify market instability, leading to unprecedented long liquidations.
In just 24 hours, more than 53 million dollars have been liquidated, reminding small investors that the crypto market is still very volatile.
Yet, BlackRock and Metaplanet consider this same volatile environment as an opportunity to assert their dominance. Their strategies differ from ordinary whales: instead of succumbing to panic, these giants are strategically buying at price levels perceived as undervalued. However, an imminent devastating shock threatens the market.
