Market volatility triggered by shifting U.S. policy under President Trump, especially regarding China, has prompted investors to seek shelter in alternative assets like Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>In its latest filing, Metaplanet revealed it had acquired 319 BTC at an average price of just under \u00a512.85 million per coin (about $82,500). The company appears undeterred by recent price dips in the crypto market, even as Bitcoin saw a 2% pullback during weekend trading in Asia, fueled by fears of potential new trade barriers.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/justin-sun-predicts-trx-all-time-high-by-end-of-q2-amid-ecosystem-growth\/\" title=\"Justin Sun Predicts TRX All-Time High by End of Q2 Amid Ecosystem Growth\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/trx-to-409-says-justin-sun-240x170.png\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Justin Sun Predicts TRX All-Time High by End of Q2 Amid Ecosystem Growth<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, traditional equities were less rattled. Futures for the Nasdaq 100 and S&amp;P 500 both saw modest gains, showing resilience despite the geopolitical tremors.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. administration added to the confusion with conflicting statements around new tariff plans. Initial exemptions for tech products like smartphones and semiconductors were quickly overshadowed by news of additional levies tied to national security concerns. Further sector-specific tariffs are expected soon, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet\u2019s ongoing BTC strategy draws comparisons to American firm MicroStrategy, known for aggressively stockpiling Bitcoin as part of its treasury policy. In a move that further aligns the Japanese company with the pro-Bitcoin narrative emerging in the U.S., Metaplanet recently welcomed Eric Trump to its Strategic Advisory Board, citing his involvement in business and alignment with digital asset growth.<\/p>\n<p>While markets remain on edge, Metaplanet appears to be betting that Bitcoin, not bonds or stocks, will offer the kind of long-term resilience needed in an era of financial uncertainty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese investment company Metaplanet is ramping up its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, making
