Metaplanet, known as the 'Japanese Strategy', announced that it will invest 2,100 bitcoins (approximately $132 million) and $2.5 million to launch a crypto treasury in the United States. The deal will be conducted with NASDAQ-listed company Super League (SLE), which will be converted into a subsidiary of Metaplanet and renamed Superplanet.
As a result of the deal, Metaplanet will own about 95% of the shares in the new project. Superplanet shares will continue to trade on NASDAQ and will be listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).
Metaplanet, which in April 2024 adopted the bitcoin accumulation strategy of Michael Saylor's Strategy, has accumulated 43,000 $BTC (roughly $2.7 billion at current rates) to date. It ranks third among the largest public holders of the first cryptocurrency.
But the Japanese company is not just focused on crypto reserves. According to its report for the first half of 2026, its hotel business, which it operated even before accumulating cryptocurrency, has consistently shown good performance. This year, Metaplanet has not sold a single bitcoin, although its average purchase price for the coins is about $105,000, which is 37% above the current price of around $63,000.
For the first half of 2026, Metaplanet recorded a loss of $1.1 million. Nevertheless, this is the best performance among the top 3 'crypto treasuries': Strategy had a quarterly loss of $8.2 billion, and Twenty One Capital had a loss of $400 million.
In the announcement about launching its American 'subsidiary', Metaplanet emphasized that this provides new opportunities for American investors, as Superplanet will retain its existing business in gaming media content alongside its bitcoins. Shares of what is still Super League soared 70% on the news.
