Metaplanet just shifted 3,881 BTC worth around $250 million in one swift move that has everyone raising eyebrows over the odd timing π€.
The Japanese firm behind this BTC treasury play now sits on 43,000 units following its early July buy of another 2,823 coins for $222 million. Reaching that 100,000 BTC target by the end of 2026 feels distant right now with buys slowing down noticeably.
Its average cost hovers just over $96,000 after splashing more than $4.1 billion total, yet the recent dip has left it nursing a cool $1.4 billion paper loss π.
Metaplanet (@Metaplanet) transferred a total of 3,881 $BTC ($247.3M) over the past 3 hours.

Such moves always spark questions in DeFi circles especially when paper losses stack up this high π―οΈ.
