BTC-2.63%
On July 13, 2026, Metaplanet completed its acquisition of Siiibo Securities for JPY 2.1 billion and formally launched Metaplanet Securities as a regulated digital asset investment banking subsidiary. The new subsidiary operates under a Type I Financial Instruments Business Operator licence from Japan's Financial Services Agency, authorizing it to structure and distribute securities products linked to digital assets. As of July 10, Metaplanet held 43,000 BTC after purchasing 2,823 BTC in the second quarter, with a target of 210,000 BTC by end of 2027. The company plans to use its Bitcoin treasury as credit-enhancement collateral for Bitcoin-backed digital bonds and structured credit products through Project Nova, though no products have launched and all offerings require regulatory approval.
