The fresh debt draw shows how Metaplanet is using both debt and preferred equity to accelerate Bitcoin purchases and income-generation strategies.
Tokyo-listed Bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet has drawn another $130 million in Bitcoin-backed credit, expanding its use of collateralized borrowing to accelerate BTC purchases, income-generation strategies and potential share buybacks.
On Tuesday, Metaplanet disclosed it executed the loan on Nov. 21 under a previously announced credit facility. The borrowing forms part of the company’s $500 million credit line, which allows it to raise short-term liquidity using its Bitcoin (BTC) as collateral.
With the fresh capital, the company has now drawn $230 million in cumulative loans from the facility, up from the $100 million disclosed for an earlier Oct. 31 credit pull.
