Key Highlights Tokyo-based Metaplanet commits 2,100 BTC alongside $2.5 million in cash for a 95.7% ownership position in Nasdaq-traded Super League Enterprise Acquired company will rebrand as
Japan’s premier corporate Bitcoin accumulator, Metaplanet, is executing its inaugural significant expansion into United States capital markets. The company revealed its intention to deploy 2,100 Bitcoin alongside $2.5 million cash to secure majority ownership of Super League Enterprise, currently listed on the Nasdaq exchange.
Since April, a small team inside Metaplanet has been working on something we could not talk about. Today it is public.

Following transaction completion, Super League will undergo a corporate rebrand to Superplanet, adopting SUPA as its trading symbol. The entity will function as Metaplanet’s primary American Bitcoin treasury operation.
According to Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich, this arrangement establishes “two engines” for Bitcoin acquisition. The parent company will maintain capital-raising activities in Japanese markets, while Superplanet focuses on American investors, with particular emphasis on perpetual preferred equity instruments.
The committed 2,100 BTC constitutes slightly less than 5% of Metaplanet’s aggregate 43,000 BTC position. Based on prevailing market rates, this Bitcoin allocation carries a valuation near $135 million. The transaction involves existing holdings rather than fresh purchases.
Upon completion, Metaplanet will control approximately 95.7% of Superplanet’s common equity, valued at $3 per share. Additional holdings will include preferred securities and warrant instruments, with Metaplanet appointing five members to a nine-person board of directors.
Metaplanet’s ownership position carries a five-year lock-up provision. Super League’s current operations spanning gaming, content production, and advertising services will continue functioning within the reorganized corporate framework.
Funds secured through either corporate entity may support the combined Bitcoin treasury initiative. Superplanet gains capability to pursue American acquisition targets potentially unavailable to its Japanese parent organization.
Transaction closure is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2026, contingent upon Super League shareholder ratification.
Super League equity surged beyond 85% to reach $5.66 on announcement day. Trading activity exploded to approximately 37.3 million shares, compared with roughly 393,000 shares in the prior session—representing nearly a 95-fold volume spike.
Metaplanet shares similarly advanced, finishing 5.07% higher at 228 JPY. Intraday price action fluctuated between 224 and 238 JPY.
Metaplanet presently holds the third position among global corporate Bitcoin holders. The company trails Twenty One Capital by approximately 500 BTC. Twenty One Capital operates with backing from Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy maintains its position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, controlling over 840,000 BTC. Strategy has liquidated portions of its Bitcoin position in recent periods to finance dividend distributions and equity buyback programs.
Metaplanet’s most recent Bitcoin acquisition occurred in early July. Corporate financial results showed revenue expansion of 133.7% alongside operating profit growth of 136.3% year-over-year during the first half of 2026.
Final deal completion remains dependent on standard closing conditions, including shareholder approval processes.
