- Metaplanet announced plans to acquire a 93.7% stake in Super League through a deal valued at 2,100 BTC, expanding its corporate Bitcoin treasury footprint.
- Metaplanet has accumulated 44,000 BTC, ranking as the second-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder behind Strategy.
- Super League disclosed in an Oct. 15 SEC filing that the US preferred securities market for Bitcoin treasury companies has matured enough to support new entrants.
- The deal would give Metaplanet access to US-dollar capital through preferred stock offerings, complementing its existing yen-denominated financing in Japan.
- The preferred-stock structure would fund additional Bitcoin purchases without relying primarily on conventional debt, per the deal terms.
- Metaplanet proposed earlier this month to allocate up to 15% of total assets for strategic investments supporting Bitcoin purchases and dividend payments.
Why it matters: Metaplanet's use of Super League to access US-dollar preferred stock offerings gives the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder (44,000 BTC) a funding channel that bypasses conventional debt and yen financing. This structure could accelerate its purchasing pace while creating a new template for Bitcoin treasury firms seeking US capital markets access.
