Metaplanet is expanding into the United States through a major Bitcoin-backed deal with Super League Enterprise. The Japanese company will contribute 2,100 BTC and $2.5 million in cash under the agreement. Meanwhile, Super League shares surged after the companies disclosed the planned transaction.
Metaplanet will invest in its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Holdings. The transaction will give Metaplanet about 95.7% of Super League’s outstanding common shares. Super League will then adopt the Superplanet name and plans to trade under the ticker SUPA.

The agreement values the common shares issued to Metaplanet at $3 each. Metaplanet will also receive preferred shares and warrants as part of the transaction. Furthermore, the Japanese company will nominate five members to Superplanet’s nine-member board.
Super League’s existing operating business will remain active after the proposed transaction closes. However, Metaplanet will provide balance-sheet support and experience in raising capital through public markets. The shares received by Metaplanet will also remain subject to a five-year lockup period.
Superplanet will operate as a U.S.-based Bitcoin treasury company while retaining Super League’s current operations. The structure gives Metaplanet access to American capital markets alongside its existing fundraising operations in Japan. Therefore, both companies can pursue separate funding strategies while operating under a consolidated structure.
Metaplanet plans to use Superplanet to support further Bitcoin accumulation through U.S. financing channels. The strategy could include perpetual preferred shares, which can raise capital without issuing additional common stock. As a result, the structure aims to increase Bitcoin holdings per common share across both entities.
Metaplanet currently holds 43,000 BTC and ranks among the largest listed corporate Bitcoin holders globally. The company has also expanded its operations as Bitcoin became a central part of its treasury strategy. During the first half of 2026, revenue increased by 133.7%, while operating profit rose by 136.3% from the previous year.
Super League Enterprise shares jumped more than 85% to $5.66 on Tuesday after the transaction became public. The sharp move reflected an immediate market response to the planned Bitcoin treasury transformation. Meanwhile, the proposed $3 transaction price remained below the stock’s post-announcement market level.
Metaplanet shares also gained 5.07% and closed at 228 Japanese yen during Tuesday trading. The stock moved between 224 yen and 238 yen during the session. However, trading activity remained below its average volume of about 22 million shares.
Bitcoin also traded above $64,000 as the companies announced their proposed transaction. The cryptocurrency traded between $63,532 and $64,515 over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, Bitcoin trading volume increased 19%, reflecting stronger market activity during the session.
The transaction remains subject to customary closing requirements and approval from Super League stockholders. Both companies expect to complete the deal during the fourth quarter of 2026. Once completed, Superplanet will provide Metaplanet with a listed U.S. platform focused on expanding its Bitcoin treasury strategy.
