Bitcoin Bonanza or Balderdash? Strategy and Metaplanet Play Monday Money Madness! 🚀💰

by

Well, dear reader, it appears that Monday has not only greeted us softly with its usual disdain but has also ushered in a cavalcade of crypto caviar. Strategy, that venerable software firm helmed by the ever-ebullient Michael Saylor—who seems quite committed to turning every weekday into a Bitcoin holiday—has decided to swell its digital treasure trove once more. Now boasting a formidable 576,230 BTC, they must be feeling quite smug, if not slightly bored with their own impressive accumulation. After all, what’s a few billion dollars between friends? 🤷‍♂️

And in a move that can only be described as ‘predictable’—unless you’re new to the spectacle—Strategy announced its latest purchase on what is evidently their favourite day: Monday. A modest 7,390 BTC, purchased for just under three-quarters of a billion dollars at an eye-watering average of $103,498 per coin. But who’s counting? Certainly not Saylor, who boasts of an unrealized profit surpassing $19 billion, as Bitcoin’s price so graciously soared to over $103,000. Truly, a testament to the eternal genius of throwing money at the cosmos and hoping it sticks. 🌐

Strategy has acquired 7,390 BTC for ~$764.9 million at ~$103,498 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 16.3% YTD 2025. As of 5/18/2025, we hodl 576,230 $BTC acquired for ~$40.18 billion at ~$69,726 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRK $STRF

One might say that Strategy’s proclivity for Monday acquisitions is about as surprising as the sun rising in the east—except perhaps for the uninformed or those who mistook the whole affair for a sort of corporate ritual. Meanwhile, Metaplanet, the proud monarch of all Asian Bitcoin holders, has chipped in with a modest 1,004 BTC. This addition bumps their holdings to 7,800 BTC—a figure they celebrate as the pièce de résistance of their twenty-year corporate history, with nearly 90% of their quarterly revenue attributed to their crypto dalliance. Because, after all, who needs diversions when you can indulge in digital gold? 💸

And so, dear reader, as the week kicks off with another bullish brouhaha, one cannot help but wonder—a little sarcastically, of course—if this is the dawn of a new era or merely another chapter in the ongoing farce of speculative frenzy. Care for another martini—er, Bitcoin? 🎩
