MetaPlanet Secures $130M Bitcoin-Backed Loan to Enhance BTC Strategy and Repurchase Shares

MetaPlanet's Loan Announcement: MetaPlanet, Japan's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, secured a $130 million loan using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral, increasing its total borrowing to $230 million under a credit facility that allows up to $500 million.

Financial Strategy and Use of Funds: The company plans to use the borrowed funds for additional Bitcoin purchases, expanding its Bitcoin-based income generation business, and opportunistic share repurchases, while maintaining a conservative financial policy to manage volatility.

Comparison with Strategy Inc.: In contrast, Strategy Inc. focuses on equity and convertible-debt issuance for funding its Bitcoin accumulation, facing market pressures and a speculative credit rating despite its growth strategy.

Impact on Financial Results: MetaPlanet anticipates minimal impact from the loan on its financial results for the fiscal year ending December 2025, with any significant developments to be disclosed promptly.
