Metaplanet Builds a Second Listed Bitcoin VehicleSuperplanet will remain listed on Nasdaq and retain Super League’s existing gaming and media operations. The transaction is structured as a private placement rather than a reverse takeover or SPAC deal.
“We’ve built one of the world’s largest bitcoin treasuries from Japan. Superplanet is how we build in America, the deepest capital market in the world,” CEO Simon Gerovich said.
Metaplanet has also agreed to a five-year lock-up, underscoring its long-term commitment to the U.S. platform.
Nasdaq and Tokyo Strategies ConvergeSuperplanet will seek funding from U.S. investors, while Metaplanet will continue accessing Japanese markets. The group expects financing that does not increase Superplanet’s common-share count to potentially increase bitcoin per share.
Super League CEO Matthew Edelman said the company had spent the past year eliminating debt, cutting costs and simplifying its capital structure.
“We believe bitcoin is the strongest monetary asset available for a corporate balance sheet in today’s fiscal environment,” he said.
The deal gives Metaplanet something increasingly sought by corporate bitcoin holders: access to another major capital market without separating the underlying treasury strategy.
