In a move so audacious it makes a peacock’s feather look modest, Japan’s Metaplanet-a purveyor of Bitcoin treasuries-has declared war on its own shares with a 13.15% buyback program, funded by a $500 million credit line backed by Bitcoin. One might say the firm is playing a financial ballet, pirouetting between corporate confidence and fiscal hubris. 🤸♂️💸
Metaplanet’s 13% Share Buyback Plan
According to the company’s filing, which reads like a Shakespearean soliloquy of numbers, Metaplanet aims to gobble up 150 million shares (or 13.13% of its total) by October 2026. The cash? A credit facility so vast it could drown a small island nation. One wonders if the executives are moonlighting as sorcerers, conjuring liquidity from thin air. 🧙♂️🌬️
This grand scheme, supported by said $500 million lifeline, suggests the board believes its balance sheet is as sturdy as a samurai’s resolve. Or perhaps they’ve just discovered that Bitcoin is the financial equivalent of a bottomless teapot. ☕✨

The company claims this is to “optimize capital use” and address a “recent dip in mNAV”-a fancy way of saying their stock price has been playing hide-and-seek with its Bitcoin valuation. A classic case of “buy low, cry higher.” 😅📉
Bitcoin at the Core of Its Growth Strategy
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin obsession is the financial equivalent of a moth drawn to a flame-but with a $3.5 billion portfolio of 30,823 BTC, who are we to judge? Their stock often trades below the value of its crypto hoard, a situation so absurd it could make a Wall Street analyst question their life choices. 🤯💎
Their ultimate goal? To hoard 210,000 BTC (1% of all Bitcoin) by 2027. One suspects they’ll need a team of digital gold diggers to achieve this feat. 🕵️♂️DIG
Metaplanet’s Stock Climbed 2.3%
Following the announcement, shares leapt 2.3% to 499 yen, a jump that made investors feel giddy-or perhaps just slightly less panicked. The rally, they say, is due to “reduced share supply and financial flexibility,” but we all know the real reason: hope. That eternal optimist in a trench coat. 🤞🧥
Metaplanet’s gambit signals a seismic shift: public companies now treat Bitcoin not as a speculative trinket, but as the financial equivalent of a trusty umbrella in a monsoon. Or perhaps a life preserver in a shark-infested pool. 🏊♂️🦈
