Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has beefed up its BTC holdings, scooping up 162 Bitcoin for around $13.5 million. The assets were bought at an average price of $83,123 per Bitcoin, as the cryptocurrency skyrocketed to its daily high of $83,737.

After the purchase, Metaplanet now has a total of 3,050 BTC, mopped up at a total cost of around $253.7 million, with an average buy price of $83,180.

The company’s stock price also jumped 7.93% to 3,605 JPY following the Bitcoin purchase announcement on March 12.

Along with its BTC shopping spree, Metaplanet’s Board of Directors also greenlit the issuance of its 8th Series of Ordinary Bonds to EVO FUND, raising $18.2 million to fund further Bitcoin purchases. The bonds will mature on March 12, 2026.

The issuance comes just days after MicroStrategy, Bitcoin’s largest corporate holder, revealed plans to raise $21 billion to buy Bitcoin.

Despite the current market volatility, Metaplanet purchased nearly half of its entire Bitcoin stash in 2025 alone. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $82,630, posting a 2% gain in the past 24 hours, CoinMarketCap shows.

On the daily BTC price chart, the RSI stands at 38.25, suggesting that the crypto is nearing oversold territory. If RSI drops further, it could signal a substantial buying opportunity, possibly leading to a rebound.

Meanwhile, the MACD line (blue) remains below the signal line (red), confirming bearish momentum. However, a potential crossover could hint at a reversal if buyers regain control.

For bullish momentum, Bitcoin must reclaim $85,000 to test the $90,000 resistance level. However, a break below $80,000 could intensify selling pressure. Key support levels lie at $79,270 and $69,450, as noted by analyst Ali Martinez using IntoTheBlock data.

Despite Bitcoin’s 25% pullback from its all-time high of $109,000, whales continue to accumulate. As per the data by CryptoQuant, Bitcoin whales have added over 65,000 BTC in the past 30 days, capitalizing on price corrections while retail traders panic-sell.
