Metaplanet Taps $100 Million Bitcoin-Backed Loan to Resume Buying

The initial draw from a $500 million facility signals a conservative, flexible financing approach.

Overview

  • Metaplanet executed the first $100 million draw on Oct. 31 from a $500 million credit facility established Oct. 28 and disclosed the borrowing on Nov. 4.
  • The company said proceeds will fund additional Bitcoin acquisitions, expand its options-based Income business, and potentially support repurchases under its ¥75 billion buyback authorization.
  • The loan is secured against Metaplanet’s roughly 30,823 BTC treasury and represents about 3% of holdings by value, with the lender undisclosed at the counterparty’s request.
  • Terms include daily automatic renewal, repayment at the company’s discretion, and interest tied to a USD reference rate plus a spread.
  • Management reaffirmed its 210,000 BTC by 2027 target and reported Q3 2025 Income revenue of ¥24.4 billion, up 3.5x year over year.
