Bitcoin Treasuries Top $100B Amid Metaplanet Transfer Concerns
The value of Bitcoin held by treasury companies has surpassed $100 billion for the first time since early June. As of August 28, their combined holdings reached $109 billion, reflecting a recent recovery in the cryptocurrency's price.
However, fresh exchange transfers from Metaplanet have raised questions about whether some treasury companies could reduce their exposure to Bitcoin. The company moved 3,000 BTC worth $237 million into Coinbase Prime on August 28.
The transfer has sparked concerns that Metaplanet may be preparing to sell its Bitcoin holdings. However, the company's recorded holdings remained unchanged at 43,000 BTC worth $3.3 billion. A confirmed sale could increase market pressure and potentially lead to a decline in price.
