Impact of Treasury Companies on the Market
Treasury companies, including Metaplanet, significantly influence the BTC market, holding 3.5 million BTC, which corresponds to 3.67% of the total available coins. These companies actively absorb the newly mined supply and seek to accumulate BTC reserves. Metaplanet alone acquires around 32% of the daily BTC supply, thereby strengthening its market position.
