According to BBX data, last week the largest listed company in Asia, the BTC reserve party, announced record quarterly coin purchase data, and the world's largest RWA tokenization platform officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange. The core dynamics are as follows:Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350) officially disclosed its Bitcoin accumulation data for Q2 2026 on July 1: throughout the quarter, it purchased 2,823 BTC at an average price of approximately $78,872 (35.4886 billion yen), totaling about $225 million. As of June 30, the total holding increased to 43,000 BTC, with a total cost of about $4.09 billion (overall average price of $95,209). The uniqueness lies in the fact that the company's specialized Bitcoin options trading business generated operating income of $10.95 million in Q2, which, when directly offset against the coin purchase cost, resulted in an effective net purchase average of approximately $75,032 per coin (although still at a discount compared to the current market price of about $61,000, it saves about 4.8% compared to the nominal average of $78,872); the total options income for H1 2026 was $29.2 million, with trailing 12-month options income of $70.7 million; Q2 BTC Yield (holding amount/effective diluted shares ratio) increased by 6.6% year-on-year; the source of funds for this quarter's coin purchases was credit lines, ordinary bond issuance, and options income, without using equity dilution methods. The company also disclosed that it has reached an agreement to acquire the licensed Japanese Type 1 securities firm Siiibo Securities, which will be included in the "Project Nova" strategic expansion plan.Securitize Corp. (NYSE: $SECZ) officially completed its SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners II ($CEPT) at the beginning of July and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the world's first NYSE-listed company with tokenized asset infrastructure as its core business. According to CoinDesk, on its first day of listing on the NYSE, the company tokenized $295 million of its own $SECZ stock and simultaneously deployed it on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains, marking the largest issuer-led tokenized public stock release to date. Securitize uses its own stock as a tokenization case to counter third-party synthetic token solutions (i.e., derivative structures without direct ownership) offered by competitors. The company previously managed over $4 billion in tokenized assets and established deep partnerships with NYSE, BlackRock, Computershare, Jump Trading, etc., with Q1 2026 revenue of $19.5 million; after the listing of $SECZ, it will serve as a valuation benchmark anchor for the RWA tokenization track, forming a strong triad in the on-chain asset securitization field alongside Coinbase (Base chain) and Galaxy Digital (institutional RWA lending).

According to BBX data, yesterday, publicly listed companies in multiple countries around the world experienced extreme differentiation in their digital asset treasury strategies, with some engaging in "hardcore accumulation" and others opting for "complete liquidation." The latest movements in real asset balance sheet adjustments are as follows:Metaplanet spent $220 million to aggressively accumulate: Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: $3350) officially submitted documents to the Tokyo Stock Exchange yesterday, revealing that the company purchased a total of 2,823 bitcoins in the second quarter of 2026, paying approximately 3.589 billion yen (about $22.3 million), with an average price of about $78,835 per coin. This accumulation increased the company's total bitcoin holdings to 43,000 coins, with a total cost of approximately 659.26 billion yen (about $4.08 billion). CoinDesk confirmed on the same day that it recorded "bitcoin revenue generation" revenue in Q2, but due to a decline in coin prices, it dropped about 41% compared to the previous quarter.KWAV strategically reversed and completely liquidated: K Wave Media (NASDAQ: $KWAV) submitted a suspended registration document to the SEC on June 30, indicating that the company has completely exited the previously high-profile bitcoin treasury plan, liquidating all its bitcoin holdings. The company plans to redirect the maximum $250 million originally intended for purchasing bitcoins entirely towards AI data centers and GPU computing infrastructure. Along with the liquidation, K Wave Media announced plans to change its name to Talivar Technologies, fully abandoning the label that was once seen by the market as Asia's "bitcoin follower." Due to the significant drop in bitcoin from its peak of $126,000, which triggered a chain reaction, the company is currently considering executing a reverse stock split to meet Nasdaq's minimum listing maintenance requirements, hastily entering the capital-intensive AI sector.

The Japanese listed company Metaplanet disclosed that it has increased its holdings by 2,823 bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to 43,000 BTC.

According to BBX data, yesterday's interest rate hike in Japan coincided with the Federal Reserve's decision window, creating the most intense macroeconomic shock point of the week. The latest results of institutional stablecoin research were released on the same day, with the core dynamics as follows:Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350), as the largest corporate BTC reserve holder in Asia and the third largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin globally (holding 40,177 BTC at an average price of about $104,000, with a target of 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026), faced a dual-edged sword pressure from the exchange rate yesterday: after the Bank of Japan announced a 25 basis point increase in the policy interest rate to 1.0%, the yen strengthened, superficially lowering the book value of BTC denominated in yen, but Bitcoin subsequently rose against the trend (CoinDesk's headline on the same day: "Bitcoin rallies after Japan rate increase"), with actual improvements in USD-denominated holdings. The company's current holdings are approximately $2.64 billion (estimated at $65,750/BTC), with the latest capital move being the issuance of 8 billion yen (about $55 million) for the 20th bond (EVO FUND) on April 24 for additional BTC purchases. Analysts warn that if the BOJ's interest rate hike triggers large-scale unwinding of "Yen Carry Trade," global risk assets including BTC may suffer systemic deleveraging shocks—however, Metaplanet holds physical BTC rather than leveraged positions, with its main risk being the exchange rate conversion effect rather than forced liquidation.OSL Group (Hong Kong Stock Exchange: 0863.HK) and the School of Business at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University jointly released a white paper on June 16 (The Block included it on the same day at 9:01 am EDT), titled "Cross-Border Trade Payments Will Drive the Adoption of Regulated Corporate Stablecoins." The core conclusion is that the demand for corporate-level cross-border trade payments is the main path to drive the large-scale adoption of regulated stablecoins, with importance surpassing retail consumption scenarios. OSL Group holds the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission licenses 7 (automated trading services) and 1 (securities trading), making it one of the few compliant exchanges globally with both institutional custody and practical experience in stablecoin settlement. Previously, it provided institutional clients with approximately $130 million in USDGO stablecoin settlement services in April 2026. This white paper provides an industrial basis for the stablecoin policy framework of Hong Kong's financial regulatory authorities, and, together with Visa's stablecoin settlement of $7 billion annualized scale, SoFi SoFiUSD's launch, and Western Union's USDPT layout, constitutes multiple points of evidence accelerating the global adoption of corporate stablecoins.

According to official news, Metaplanet announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of the Japanese licensed first-class securities company Siiibo Securities. The company is one of the pioneers in Japan's online corporate bond market. The transaction is expected to close in July, at which point the company will be renamed Metaplanet Securities.This is Metaplanet's first major acquisition since its establishment and the first substantial implementation of its long-term strategy Project Nova. This strategy aims to build a Bitcoin-centric financial ecosystem in Japan.

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the company holds 40,177 BTC on its balance sheet, making it the third largest BTC treasury company in the world, and it generates significant revenue through its BTC revenue-generating business, which serves as the foundation for future development.

Simon Gerovich, CEO of the Japanese Bitcoin financial company Metaplanet, tweeted that BTC Yield is the company's most important KPI, and the core goal of the company's capital allocation is to maximize shareholders' BTC Yield. When the modified net asset value (mNAV) is below 1 times, repurchasing the company's stock may be one of the effective means to enhance BTC Yield, and the lower the mNAV, the more significant the enhancement effect. The company will continue to regard stock repurchase as an important capital allocation option.However, it also emphasized that the actual execution of the repurchase must strictly comply with insider trading regulations and monthly disclosure obligations, so it will not comment on specific implementation timing or circumstances before appropriate disclosures are made. This statement does not represent that the company is currently conducting or plans to conduct stock repurchases during a specific period.

BitcoinTreasuries.NET posted on platform X that MetaPlanet MPJPY allocated $5.41 million from surplus capital to pay dividends on its perpetual preferred stock MERCURY to its institutional shareholders. The company's Bitcoin revenue business has established a revenue base that can fund the preferred stock dividends.

According to The Block, regarding the gradual shutdown of the Cardano ecosystem data analysis and infrastructure platform TapTools, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson responded that TapTools is another loss in the ecosystem following JPG Store, and warned of a potential "wave of failures," expecting more projects to shut down, DeFi operations to cease, and industry consolidation in the second half of the year.He stated that some older projects no longer have investment value, resources to support struggling projects are limited, and he lacks direct control over ecosystem funding decisions and treasury allocation.

According to BBX data, yesterday (May 26), the largest publicly traded company holding Ethereum announced the latest SEC filing, with Strive's weekly increase of 1,109 coins maintaining a steady pace, and the SATA financing flywheel continuing to operate.

(NYSE: $BMNR) submitted Form 8-K to the SEC on May 26, disclosing that as of that date, the company's ETH holdings reached 5.39 million coins (accounting for 4.47% of the total ETH circulation, with a target of 5%, currently completed 89%), with a total of approximately $12.3 billion in combined crypto assets, cash, and strategic equity investments; among which 4,712,917 ETH has been staked (valued at approximately $10.1 billion at $2,134 per coin), with a 7-day staking annualized yield of 2.75%, and an estimated annualized income of approximately $276 million based on full staking; the company's self-operated validation node platform MAVAN has also opened staking services to external institutions.

Strive uses the issuance of SATA preferred stock as its main financing tool, continuing the systematic accumulation of BTC; the BTC yield from 2026 to date is approximately 18.4% (as of May 19).

Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the company has postponed its plans to list Mars and Mercury preferred shares due to the immaturity of the Japanese preferred stock market and restrictions from exchange rules. He mentioned that Japanese exchanges require preferred stock dividends to be supported by sustainable, recurring cash flows, while Metaplanet still needs to prove that its Bitcoin revenue business can generate stable returns in different market environments.Additionally, the company plans to distribute dividends monthly, but the Japanese market typically has annual or semi-annual dividends, and the relevant infrastructure still needs to be improved. Metaplanet currently holds 40,177 BTC, and its stock price has fallen 25% year-to-date.

The Bitcoin TAP protocol ecological project BIT (@dmt_bit_) has released a new roadmap, announcing a focus on the narrative of "Bitcoin Security Budget Layer," with tokens being directly issued to Bitcoin miners every block as a new source of miner subsidies.The BIT team disclosed that currently only the $NAT token enjoys the miner subsidy mechanism under the TAP protocol, and this mechanism is hardcoded in the protocol's source code (effective only for the dmt-nat token), making it unavailable for other DMT projects. The TAP protocol has also not publicly disclosed any third-party security audits to date.BIT has submitted a code upgrade proposal to TAP, hoping to open this mechanism for use by all DMT tokens, but it was rejected by the TAP officials.According to the roadmap, BIT will next develop a new protocol based on a TAP fork—any DMT token deployment party can customize the token issuance rules and miner distribution methods (including distribution by mining pool weight, independent miner prize accumulation, mixed distribution, etc.) through a single inscription, eliminating any hardcoded privileges for projects. A third-party security audit will be completed before the mainnet launch of the new protocol. $BIT will serve as the native token of the new protocol, and the ecological development of the protocol will continue to empower $BIT.
