According to Google Finance, the stock closed at ¥197, down 10.45% for the day. The stock touched ¥195 during the session, marking a fresh 52-week low. Its 52-week high stands at ¥1,681, meaning the shares now trade about 88% below that peak.

The company has added 27,832 BTC over the past year while the stock has continued to fall. Metaplanet’s latest public Bitcoin balance stands at 40,177 BTC.

Sharplink Buys More Ethereum

Sharplink resumed buying Ethereum for the first time in eight months. According to on-chain data from Arkham, a wallet linked to the company received 5,000 ETH, valued at approximately $7.85 million, from crypto prime brokerage FalconX.

The timing of the purchase attracted attention as ETH declined to around $1,537, its lowest level in 2026. 

Andri Fauzan Adziima, Research Lead at Bitrue Research Institute, said the purchase shows that institutional conviction is still strong despite subdued market conditions. 

The company now holds approximately 876,285 ETH, making it one of the largest institutional holders of Ethereum globally.

BitMine has staked another 160,480 ETH worth about $248.7 million, according to on-chain tracker Lookonchain.

The company reported annualized staking revenue of about $223 million and said fully staked ETH could produce higher yearly rewards through its validator network and partners.

AAVE Surges 5%

Aave rose more than 5%, making it one of the top-performing crypto assets despite the broader market decline. This advance contrasts with the selling pressure suffered by Bitcoin and the other major altcoins. 

CoinGecko indicated that the native token accumulated a rally of nearly 30% over a 14-day period, adding an 11.7% gain over the past week. 

This rally coincides with the publication of a projection analysis issued by the banking institution Standard Chartered. 

According to the document signed by the bank’s global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, the decentralized protocol could experience a substantial expansion during the remainder of the decade.
