Borrowing Amid Falling Stock Prices
Metaplanet’s recent financial moves are a response to a significant decline in its stock value, which has dropped by more than 33% in a month. The company aims to stabilize its market position by maintaining liquidity and strengthening its presence in the digital asset sector.
According to reports, the loan was arranged on October 31, 2025. However, neither Metaplanet nor its CEO, Simon Gerovich, have confirmed this deal at the time of this report.
“Part of the funds will be directed towards additional Bitcoin purchases, as Metaplanet still aims to accumulate 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027,” stated Coinpost.
Strategic Plans and Fund Allocation
The loan is part of a broader credit line of $500 million approved at the end of October 2025. The exact name of the lender remains undisclosed.
The company is considering several potential uses for the raised funds. In particular, this includes not only further increasing its Bitcoin portfolio but also potentially transferring part of the funding to its American subsidiary, Metaplanet Income Corp., to launch Bitcoin options. The management also does not rule out using the loan to finance a previously announced share buyback program.
Metaplanet’s actions are aimed at enhancing the company’s resilience and strengthening its market position in response to cryptocurrency volatility and declining stock premiums. According to the exchange, Metaplanet’s securities on the Tokyo Stock Exchange have significantly dropped in price over the past month:
It is worth noting that the last significant Bitcoin acquisition by the company was recorded at the end of September 2025, after which Metaplanet entered the top five largest corporate holders of Bitcoin in the world.
