PANews reported on September 28th that according to Cointelegraph, Ray Youssef, founder of the peer-to-peer lending platform NoOnes, pointed out that the current rise of crypto asset reserve companies is similar to the investment frenzy during the dot-com bubble and carries significant market risks. He believes that although the entry of institutions marks the entry of cryptocurrencies into a mainstream asset class, most reserve companies will find it difficult to sustain and may be forced to sell their holdings, triggering the next bear market. Only a few companies will be able to continue accumulating assets at a discount. Youssef stressed that companies can improve their survivability if they adopt prudent strategies. Reducing debt burden is key. Issuing new shares is safer than borrowing to finance, and can avoid facing debt repayment pressure during market downturns. Debt maturities should be set reasonably, such as spanning a typical four-year market cycle, to reduce liquidity risks. In terms of asset selection, focus should be placed on cryptocurrencies with a capped supply or blue-chip assets with long-term resilience, rather than altcoins that are highly volatile and may permanently depreciate. In addition, companies with actual businesses and sources of income have advantages over pure asset reserve companies, which lack continuous cash flow, rely solely on financing operations, and have weaker risk resistance. Through responsible asset and risk management, some companies can not only withstand market downturns, but even achieve growth against the trend.PANews reported on September 28th that according to Cointelegraph, Ray Youssef, founder of the peer-to-peer lending platform NoOnes, pointed out that the current rise of crypto asset reserve companies is similar to the investment frenzy during the dot-com bubble and carries significant market risks.

Metaplanet Forms Bitcoin-Focused Subsidiaries in Japan and the U.S.

Metaplanet Forms Bitcoin-Focused Subsidiaries in Japan and the U.S.

The post Metaplanet Forms Bitcoin-Focused Subsidiaries in Japan and the U.S. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet (3350), the largest bitcoin BTC$116,183.54 treasury company in Japan, said it established two subsidiaries — one in Japan and one in the U.S. — and bought the bitcoin.jp domain name as it strengthens its commitment to the largest cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Japan Inc., will be based in Tokyo and manage a suite of bitcoin-linked media, conferences and online platforms, including the internet domain and Bitcoin Magazine Japan. The U.S. unit, Metaplanet Income Corp., will be based in Miami and focus on generating income from bitcoin-related financial products, including derivatives, the company said in a post on X. Metaplanet noted it launched a bitcoin income generation business in the last quarter of 2024 and aims to further scale these operations through the new subsidiary. Both the wholly owned subsidiaries are led in part by Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich. Earlier this month, the firm brought its bitcoin holdings to over 20,000 BTC. It’s currently the world’s sixth-largest bitcoin treasury company, with 20,136 BTC in its balance sheet, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. The leading firm, Strategy (MSTR), has 638,985 BTC. The subsidiaries are being established shortly after the company announced plans to raise a net 204.1 billion yen ($1.4 billion) in an international share sale to bolster its BTC holdings. Metaplanet stock dropped 1.16% on Wednesday. Source: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2025/09/17/metaplanet-sets-up-u-s-japan-subsidiaries-buys-bitcoin-jp-domain-name
