Metaplanet Takes Bitcoin Treasury Strategy to the US With US$132 Million Nasdaq Deal
- Metaplanet is set to take majority control of Super League Enterprise, which will retain its Nasdaq listing and existing advertising and media business.
- Super League will be renamed Superplanet and begin with 2,100 BTC, while Metaplanet has further investment capacity and will receive long-term warrants.
- Completion is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, with the transaction still dependent on shareholder approval and regulatory processes.
Metaplanet is extending its Bitcoin treasury strategy into the US through a proposed investment in Nasdaq-listed Super League Enterprise. The Japanese company will transfer 2,100 BTC, worth about US$132.1 million (AU$186.26 million), plus US$2.5 million (AU$3.52 million) in cash to the gaming media company.
The contribution will be exchanged for common shares, preferred stock and warrants, with Metaplanet receiving 44,859,400 common shares at US$3 (AU$4.23) each. Once the transaction closes, Super League will become Superplanet, Inc., with Metaplanet holding about 95.7% of its common stock. The company will remain listed on Nasdaq and keep its existing advertising and media activation operations as a distinct segment.

Metaplanet Builds Its US Bitcoin Platform
The arrangement gives Metaplanet a second listed platform for its Bitcoin treasury activities, alongside its Tokyo Stock Exchange listing. The company currently holds 43,000 BTC, while the 2,100 BTC contribution accounts for approximately 4.9% of those holdings. Superplanet intends to make Bitcoin a primary component of its long-term shareholder value strategy and may use the assets as collateral for future preferred stock offerings.
Metaplanet will have an option to provide up to another US$210 million (AU$296.1 million) through non-convertible junior liquidity preferred stock over 24 months. It will also receive ten-year warrants covering up to 381 million additional shares, with exercise prices ranging from US$3 (AU$4.23) to US$33.50 (AU$47.235). The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and regulatory requirements in the US and Japan.
