Bitplanet has kickstarted its Bitcoin accumulation strategy after making its first purchase of 96 $BTC.

KEY POINTS:
1. Korea’s Bitplanet, backed by Metaplanet’s Simon Gerovich, buys 96 $BTC as it kickstarts its accumulation strategy.
2. A total of 351 entities hold 4.04M $BTC as of today, with Strategy leading the list thanks to its 640,481 Bitcoin-strong treasury valued at over $74B.
3. Bitcoin’s global adoption ramps up as Japan plans to allow banks to offer crypto services, while Europe sees higher adoption rates in 2025.
4. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) nears $25M in presale, promising a Layer-2 for faster, cheaper $BTC transactions.

Bitplanet first announced its Bitcoin hoarding plan in late August 2025, when it also secured $40M for future crypto investments.

The publicly listed company, which is backed by Metaplanet’s Simon Gerovich, plans to accumulate a 10,000 $BTC treasury across multiple purchases, taking a page out of Strategy’s book. Michael Saylor’s company is currently the largest Bitcoin holder, with 640,418 tokens, valued at over $74B.

This recent purchase, despite being relatively modest, supports the bullish context surrounding Bitcoin, after the coin managed to break $115K for the second time after October 10’s brutal market crash.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) contributes to the bullish narrative, as its presale nears the $25M milestone and a targeted Q4 2025–Q1 2026 release date.

Bitcoin Adoption Ramps Up Globally

While Saylor’s Strategy has been a staple in the crypto sphere for a long time thanks to its unbending Bitcoin support and recurrent buys, it’s not the only one.

According to Bitcoin Treasuries, 351 entities hold 4.04M $BTC, with Strategy, MARA, Twenty One, and Metaplanet occupying the top spots on the list.

Part of the growing interest in crypto – and Bitcoin, more specifically – is the increasingly more digital asset-friendly legislation at a global level. Trump’s GENIUS Act kickstarted the trend, after establishing a clear regulatory system that protects investors and supports and regulates issuers.

Now we have South Korea’s recent stablecoin bill, the Digital Asset Basic Act, which aims to allow companies to issue stablecoins as long as they have at least $366,749 in equity capital.

Japan is heading in the same direction after the Financial Services Agency announced recently that it plans to allow Japanese banks to offer crypto services. The move comes in the context of Japan reporting 12M registered crypto accounts and $34B in assets at the start of 2025.

Things are changing in Europe as well. Adan’s April 2025 study highlights that Europe is taking notice of the growing impact of crypto assets.

The UK currently has the largest rate of crypto asset holders, with 19% of the population holding one or more cryptos. Netherlands and Belgium come in at 17%, while Italy and Germany arrive next at 15% and 13% respectively. France sits at 10%.

Despite the October 10 market crash, the interest in Bitcoin seems to have ramped up, which is good news for $BTC as it moves deeper into Q4.

Bitcoin currently sells at just over $115K and appears to have entered a consolidation phase over the past 24 hours, which could signal an imminent bull by the year’s end. Analysts at TD Cowen believe a price point of $141K by December is possible.

Bitcoin Hyper’s ($HYPER) surging presale may help with that.

How Bitcoin Hyper Promises to Change the Bitcoin Ecosystem Forever

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is Bitcoin’s upcoming Layer-2 solution that promises to make the Bitcoin network faster, cheaper, and more scalable.

Hyper addresses Bitcoin’s most pressing problem: its performance limitation. Bitcoin is natively capped at seven transactions per second (TPS), which currently puts it on the 31st spot on the list of the fastest blockchains by TPS.

The side-effects are as expected: high fees, confirmation times that sometimes reach hours, and lack of scalability, which explains why Ethereum and Solana dominate Bitcoin in terms of adoption rates.

Hyper will employs tools like the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and a Canonical Bridge to correct these problems.

While the SVM enables Solana-grade execution of smart contracts and DeFi apps, with near instant finality, the Canonical Bridge will address the network’s finality problem directly.

Once the Bitcoin Relay Program confirms the transaction details, the bridge will mint your tokens directly into the Hyper Layer-2, giving you near-instant access to your wrapped $BTC.

This eliminates the fee-based confirmation system, lowers transaction costs, and speeds up the network’s overall performance, bringing it closer to Solana’s numbers.

To date, the presale has raised $24.995M, with $HYPER currently valued at $0.013175 and staking at 47% APY.

Based on Hyper’s utility, a realistic price prediction for $HYPER puts the token at $0.20 shortly after its public listing, and $1.2 or higher by 2030. The project is targeting a release date of between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, depending on ‘prevailing market conditions and demand,’ according to its whitepaper.

So, if you want to invest, you may want to do it soon. The official $HYPER listing could well happen this year.
