Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) is positioning itself to integrate cryptocurrency payments by late 2025. This move aligns with Musk’s history with digital currencies, especially Bitcoin and Dogecoin, and reflects his broader vision of creating an “everything app.”
In January 2025, X teamed up with Visa to launch a peer-to-peer payment system, enabling users to send money to bank accounts, fund digital wallets, and make payments. The partnership lays the groundwork for potential crypto payment integration.
Metaplanet raised $26 million through zero-interest, unsecured bonds. The funds will be directed towards further Bitcoin purchases, reflecting the company’s strong belief in Bitcoin's long-term value. This strategy mirrors that of MicroStrategy, which has also made Bitcoin a core part of its financial strategy.
Metaplanet’s strategy has high potential but also significant risks, including Bitcoin’s price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and potential challenges in future fundraising. Its success will depend on Bitcoin’s performance, regulatory developments, and market sentiment, making it a bold bet on Bitcoin’s future.
