Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Strategy With $13.1M Siiibo Securities Acquisition

Metaplanet has acquired Tokyo-based Siiibo Securities in a deal worth around $13.1 million, marking a major step in its plan to build a regulated bitcoin-focused financial ecosystem. The company aims to expand beyond holding bitcoin into creating investment products and digital finance services linked to the cryptocurrency.

Metaplanet Strengthens Financial Infrastructure in Japan

Siiibo Securities, a Type I Financial Instruments Business Operator, will become a wholly owned subsidiary and be renamed Metaplanet Securities after the deal closes. The acquisition gives Metaplanet access to securities licensing, distribution capabilities, and an established financial platform in Japan.

The company holds about 40,177 BTC valued at roughly $2.6 billion, positioning bitcoin as both a treasury asset and the foundation for its long-term strategy known as Project Nova.

Project Nova Focuses on Bitcoin-Linked Financial Products

Metaplanet said the acquisition will help it develop bitcoin-linked investment products, expand securities distribution, and explore tokenized financial instruments. Siiibo Securities has already supported more than 100 bond offerings for over 40 companies, giving Metaplanet access to an experienced financial network.

Bitcoin Financial Ecosystem Plans Expand

The firm also plans to use Siiibo’s platform to create yield-generating opportunities for investors and strengthen its role in Japan’s growing digital asset market. The move reflects increasing interest in regulated crypto-linked financial products as institutional adoption continues to expand.
