MetaPlanet Boosts Bitcoin Strategy With $100M Collateral Loan
MetaPlanet has secured a $100 million loan by collateralizing 3% of its Bitcoin holdings to expand Bitcoin acquisitions, income-generating business, and potentially conduct share buybacks. The Japanese firm, which held 30,823 BTC worth 540 billion yen as of October 31, 2025, aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC by 2027. The loan is part of a $500 million credit facility with no expiration date, providing flexibility and stability. MetaPlanet also reported increased revenue from selling cash-secured Bitcoin options, projecting 2.44 billion yen in Q3 2025. Additionally, the company hinted at share buybacks under its approved 75 billion yen buyback limit. Positioned as the fourth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally and a pioneer in bridging traditional finance with digital assets, MetaPlanet reinforces its commitment to Bitcoin as a core reserve asset.

MetaPlanet's Bold Bitcoin Strategy
MetaPlanet has made another bold move in its Bitcoin-first strategy by securing a $100 million loan collateralized by its Bitcoin holdings, as reported by CoinPost. The funds raised aim to:
- Acquire more Bitcoin
- Expand income-generating businesses
- Potentially conduct share buybacks
The loan was secured on October 31, 2025, and represents only about 3% of MetaPlanet's total Bitcoin holdings, ensuring a safe collateral margin even during severe market downturns. This cautious borrowing approach highlights the company's strategy of avoiding excessive leverage while increasing its Bitcoin exposure.
Strengthening the Bitcoin Treasury
Part of MetaPlanet’s strategy involves its Bitcoin Treasury Initiative, launched earlier this year. The company aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027, positioning itself alongside major Bitcoin-holding firms like MicroStrategy.
The recent $100 million loan is part of a $500 million credit facility announced on October 28. While the lender’s identity remains undisclosed, the loan's structure is flexible with no expiration date, allowing repayment at any time. This approach ensures financial stability and aligns with the company’s long-term commitment to treating Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
Currently, MetaPlanet is the fourth-largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, holding 30,823 BTC (valued at approximately 540 billion yen as of October 31, 2025).
Expanding the Income-Generating Business
Beyond accumulating Bitcoin, MetaPlanet is allocating part of the funds to expand its Income-Generating Business, which creates stable revenue. Through this division, the company sells cash-secured Bitcoin options to generate premiums while holding BTC reserves, helping offset potential losses during price dips.

For the third quarter of 2025, MetaPlanet projects a revenue of 2.44 billion yen, a significant increase from the 690 million yen reported a year earlier (3.5x growth). This steady income stream supports the company’s profitability even during market fluctuations.
Potential Share Buybacks
MetaPlanet has also hinted at possible share buybacks, subject to market conditions. The recently approved 75 billion yen buyback limit (established at the end of October 2025) underscores this commitment. The strategy aims to:
- Enhance shareholder value
- Maintain flexibility in capital allocation
By combining its Bitcoin expansion strategy with shareholder-focused initiatives, MetaPlanet demonstrates a balanced growth model. The company’s strategic use of loans while pioneering Bitcoin adoption places it at the forefront of bridging traditional finance and digital asset strategies.
