As the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin nears the $100,000 mark, institutional investors continue to strengthen their positions. Particularly, the new investment plans of MicroStrategy and Metaplanet are generating excitement in the market.

The technology giant MicroStrategy plans to raise $2 billion through a preferred stock issuance in the first quarter of 2025. It is anticipated that the entire amount will be used for Bitcoin purchases. The company currently holds Bitcoin assets valued at $44 billion.

On the other hand, Japan-based investment firm Metaplanet has also decided to increase its Bitcoin investments. The company's CEO, Simon Gerovich, announced that they aim to acquire 10,000 Bitcoins within 2025. Under current market conditions, this amount is approximately equivalent to $1 billion.

Gerovich stated, "We will leverage our existing partnerships to promote the adoption of Bitcoin both in Japan and globally." Metaplanet, one of Asia's leading institutional Bitcoin investors, currently holds Bitcoin assets worth $175 million. The company's total market value is around $830 million.

On the MicroStrategy front, the "21/21 Plan" is noteworthy. The company aims to raise $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income instruments over the next three years. Michael Saylor, the company's co-founder and board member, provided new investment signals with a Bitcoin purchase chart shared on social media.

In Asian markets, Bitcoin has approached the historic record of $100,000, surpassing the $99,700 level with the recovery in the options markets.
