- MetaPlanet secured a $130M loan backed by 30,823 BTC to expand Bitcoin holdings and repurchase shares, targeting 210,000 BTC by 2027. - The firm shifted to preferred stock financing to reduce shareholder dilution, mirroring MicroStrategy's strategy while leveraging a $500M credit facility. - Despite Bitcoin's 23% unrealized loss, MetaPlanet remains bullish, buying BTC at $108k amid Japan's $273B stimulus-driven market selloff. - Japan's regulatory developments and SoftBank's crypto investments highlight

MetaPlanet, once a Japanese hotel operator, has transformed into a

Bitcoin

(BTC) treasury leader and has

obtained a $130 million loan

using its Bitcoin assets as collateral, marking an assertive step to grow its digital asset portfolio and buy back shares. This action highlights the company’s ambition to establish itself as a significant force in corporate Bitcoin accumulation, taking cues from industry leaders such as MicroStrategy

according to reports

The funds, part of a $500 million credit line, are earmarked for acquiring more Bitcoin, building out Bitcoin-driven revenue channels, and repurchasing shares when market conditions are favorable. At present, MetaPlanet has pledged 30,823 BTC as security, with the company

aiming to reach 210,000 BTC by 2027

. This goal fits into its larger plan to utilize U.S. financial systems for large-scale Bitcoin purchases, a strategy

accelerated by a $5 billion capital boost

to its American branch, Metaplanet Treasury Corp.

MetaPlanet’s financing strategy marks a change in how corporations manage Bitcoin treasuries.

In the past, the company raised funds through common stock warrants

, which resulted in shareholder dilution. Now, it is shifting to a preferred stock approach,

similar to MicroStrategy’s 2025 strategy

, involving both convertible and non-convertible preferred shares with different dividend options. This new method is designed to limit dilution while still providing capital for Bitcoin investments.

The announcement of the loan comes at a time of market uncertainty.

Bitcoin recently dropped below $83,000

following Japan’s introduction of a $273 billion stimulus plan, which led to a wider selloff in the crypto sector. Despite this, MetaPlanet maintains a positive outlook,

acquiring BTC at an average cost of $108,036

-meaning its holdings are currently down by more than 23%. The company’s approach is to accumulate more Bitcoin at lower prices, a move that has drawn parallels to MicroStrategy’s $21 billion in fundraising so far this year.

MetaPlanet’s growth is also supported by Japan’s maturing crypto landscape. SoftBank, a major supporter of Bitcoin treasury companies, has backed projects like Twenty One Capital, which owns 43,500 BTC. At the same time, regulatory changes—such as Japan’s proposed rule for crypto exchanges to hold liability reserves—demonstrate increasing institutional trust in the industry.

Even with recent market swings, MetaPlanet’s leadership remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future prospects.

The company’s shares ended Tuesday down 7%

, reflecting a cautious mood among investors. Nevertheless, with $230 million already accessed from the $500 million facility, MetaPlanet is on track to become one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders,

further merging the boundaries between traditional hospitality and the digital asset sector
