Overview
- Metaplanet’s board approved a ¥75.4 billion repurchase of up to 150 million shares, roughly 13.1% of outstanding stock, to raise BTC Yield when mNAV is below parity.
- Share purchases will be executed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange from October 29, 2025 through October 28, 2026 under a discretionary trading agreement.
- The buyback is financed by a $500 million credit facility secured by Bitcoin that can also fund additional BTC acquisitions, BTC income investments, or bridge preferred-share issuance.
- The new capital allocation policy pauses common equity issuance when mNAV is under 1.0 and favors buybacks and perpetual preferred shares, following a recent halt to new BTC purchases and suspension of certain stock acquisition rights.
- Shares rose on the announcement amid volatile trading, while the company reports holdings of 30,823 BTC and reiterates its goal to reach 210,000 BTC by 2027.
