The post Bitcoin Slump Drags Metaplanet and Semler Down, Strategy Holds Steady with 10% Gain appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
After Bitcoin took a nosedive to $74,500 following Donald Trump’s tariff tensions, the shockwaves hit hard not just to the retailers, but Companies like Metaplanet and Semler, also saw their stock prices tumble fast.
Bitcoin has crashed to its lowest in five months. The 33 percent drop from its January peak has left MicroStrategy only slightly in profit. The company spent $35.6 billion on Bitcoin and now holds an unrealized gain of around $3.9 billion.
Metaplanet and Semler stumble as Bitcoin dips; Strategy holds firm
As of April 2, Metaplanet holds 4,206 BTC bought at around $88,800 each, putting the firm 15% in the red. The situation worsened on Monday when its stock dropped a sharp 20% in just one day.
Similarly, Semler Scientific has also faced setbacks. Having bought BTC at an average price of $87,854, the company’s stock has dropped by 38% due to a 20% decline in Bitcoin’s value this year. Meanwhile, MetaPlanet has seen a 15% drop in its stock, while Strategy has only experienced a minor 2% decline.
Strikingly, Strategy owns a whopping 528,185 BTC, worth $39.5 billion today, with each coin bought at an average of $67,458. Despite the market dip, its stock is still trading at a premium, nearly double the value of its crypto stash. Notably, according to CoinDesk Research, even if Bitcoin plunges below what they paid, MSTR is not facing liquidation anytime soon.
Metaplanet Announces Early Redemption
In a latest disclosure, Metaplanet Inc. announced that on April 4, 2025, it fully repaid its 9th Series of Ordinary Bonds, worth 2 billion JPY, through an early redemption. This follows a partial repayment of 1.5 billion JPY made on March 27, 2025. The funds for this redemption came from EVO FUND’s exercise of stock acquisition rights, as previously disclosed.
Since the bonds were interest-free, the full repayment will have little impact on Metaplanet’s financial performance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
It recently secured ¥2.63 billion to expand its Bitcoin holdings, doubling down on crypto as a strategic asset. It also recently boosted its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring 696 BTC, bringing the total to 4,046 BTC. This move comes as its Bitcoin Income Generation business earned ¥770 million in Q1, with an impressive 95.6% year-to-date BTC yield.
