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<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The loan uses a floating interest rate linked to U.S. dollar benchmarks and can be repaid <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">whenever<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> 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<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Borrowing to Buy More Instead of Selling<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">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><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> potentially buy back shares. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The timing follows the company\u2019s announcement of a \u00a575 billion <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">share repurchase plan<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which is roughly<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> $500 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Metaplanet has just tapped a $100 million loan from their credit facility.<\/p>\n<p>This represents about 3% of their Bitcoin value.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d imagine it is to prepare for share buybacks at a potential sub 1.0 mNAV\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026or they\u2019re looking to BUY THE DIP!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f642.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude42\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KWe3C7tXtS\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/KWe3C7tXtS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adam Livingston (@AdamBLiv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamBLiv\/status\/1985864449849237510?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">November 5, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The plan aimed to lift the company\u2019s market\u2011to\u2011net\u2011asset value ratio after it fell below 1.0.

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<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">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<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/high-risk-high-reward-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in November2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A Growing Trend in Corporate Bitcoin Strategy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Metaplanet\u2019s playbook mirrors a broader shift among companies that treat bitcoin as a strategic reserve rather than a speculative trade. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Borrowing against BTC has become a tool for firms <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">that want more<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> exposure without <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">creating<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> a taxable event or weakening their long\u2011term position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With a reserve of 30,823 BTC as of late October, Metaplanet has established itself as a major participant in the corporate bitcoin ecosystem.
