Metaplanet Inc., the Tokyo\u2011listed company building a large Bitcoin treasury, has taken out a $100 million loan backed by a portion of its existing <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span> holdings. The company drew from a credit facility on October 31 and pledged part of its 30,823 BTC stash, which was valued at about $3.5 billion at the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

The loan uses a floating interest rate linked to U.S. dollar benchmarks and can be repaid <\/span>whenever<\/span> the company chooses. Metaplanet says the pledged collateral represents only a small slice of its bitcoin reserve, which it points to as evidence of its conservative approach to leverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Borrowing to Buy More Instead of Selling<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rather than sell bitcoin to free up capital, Metaplanet is borrowing against its holdings so it can purchase more BTC, continue operating its bitcoin options business, <\/span>and<\/span> potentially buy back shares. <\/span>The timing follows the company\u2019s announcement of a \u00a575 billion <\/span>share repurchase plan<\/span>, which is roughly<\/span> $500 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metaplanet has just tapped a $100 million loan from their credit facility.<\/p>\n

This represents about 3% of their Bitcoin value.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d imagine it is to prepare for share buybacks at a potential sub 1.0 mNAV\u2026<\/p>\n

The plan aimed to lift the company\u2019s market\u2011to\u2011net\u2011asset value ratio after it fell below 1.0. The company also reaffirmed its long\u2011term goal of holding 210,000 BTC by 2027, a target that would place it among the largest public bitcoin treasuries <\/span>anywhere in the world<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Loan Fits Into Their Bigger Vision<\/span><\/h3>\n

By using collateralised debt instead of selling assets, Metaplanet is signalling a clear preference for accumulation. The company says the credit line is part of a larger financing strategy that also supports its income\u2011generating options business, which earns premiums on its bitcoin position. <\/span><\/p>\n

The approach allows Metaplanet to grow while protecting its long\u2011term exposure to BTC, giving it capital to deploy without reducing its core holdings.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Growing Trend in Corporate Bitcoin Strategy<\/span><\/h3>\n

Metaplanet\u2019s playbook mirrors a broader shift among companies that treat bitcoin as a strategic reserve rather than a speculative trade. <\/span>Borrowing against BTC has become a tool for firms <\/span>that want more<\/span> exposure without <\/span>creating<\/span> a taxable event or weakening their long\u2011term position.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a reserve of 30,823 BTC as of late October, Metaplanet has established itself as a major participant in the corporate bitcoin ecosystem. Its methods highlight how treasury management and financial engineering are evolving as more firms integrate digital assets into their balance sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Risks That Come With This Approach<\/span><\/h3>\n

Borrowing against bitcoin introduces clear risks. If the price drops sharply, collateral margins can tighten <\/span>and create<\/span> pressure on even large reserves. Metaplanet describes its leverage as conservative, but that claim will be tested during the next period of <\/span>major<\/span> volatility.<\/span><\/p>\n
