Metaplanet Secures $100 Million Loan to Restart Bitcoin Buying

Management signals disciplined leverage, with the advance equal to roughly 3% of reserves to preserve collateral buffers.

Overview

  • The financing is collateralized by existing crypto holdings and is the first draw from a $500 million credit facility established on October 28.
  • Terms include daily automatic renewal, repayment at the company’s discretion with no fixed maturity, and interest at a reference USD rate plus a spread, with the lender undisclosed.
  • Proceeds are earmarked for additional Bitcoin acquisitions, expansion of its cash-collateralized options income business, and potential share buybacks under a 75 billion yen authorization.
  • Metaplanet reports holdings of about 30,823 BTC valued near $3.3 billion, placing it among the largest corporate holders.
  • The company reiterates a 210,000 BTC target by 2027 and says collateral will be managed conservatively to withstand price declines without margin pressure.
