Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet\u2019s CEO, said the deal is the first concrete step in Project Nova, the company\u2019s long-term plan to create a bitcoin-centered financial ecosystem in Japan. Gerovich tweeted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">By bringing Siiibo\u2019s online securities platform into the group, we will develop and distribute bitcoin-related yield products directly to Japanese investors, supported by the 40,177 <span>BTC<\/span> on our balance sheet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Metaplanet\u2019s supplemental materials put the total acquisition price at $13 million (\u00a52.1 billion) for common and preferred shares combined. The company expects Siiibo to become a wholly owned subsidiary, with completion procedures planned for August 2026. Gerovich separately said closing is expected in July.<\/p>\n<p>Siiibo is registered as a Type I Financial Instruments Business Operator under Japan\u2019s Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. That license allows it to structure and distribute financial products. Founded in 2019 and based in Tokyo, Siiibo runs an online private placement bond platform and has supported more than 40 companies and over 100 bond issues.<\/p>\n<h2> <span>Bitcoin<\/span> Treasury Becomes a Securities Platform<\/h2>\n<p>Metaplanet holds 40,177 <span>BTC<\/span> on its balance sheet as of June 12, 2026. The company says that makes it Asia\u2019s largest corporate <span>bitcoin<\/span> holder, the third-largest globally, and the only non-U.S. company in the global top 10.<\/p>\n<p>This acquisition is designed to turn its treasury position into a broader financial business. Metaplanet plans to develop and distribute bitcoin-related yield products, digital securities, bitcoin-backed preferred shares, lending services, and other BTC-linked instruments through Metaplanet Securities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_822340\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-822340\" style=\"width:1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/metaplanet-to-launch-bitcoin-yield-products-in-japan-after-13-million-siiibo-securities-deal_nwmk.png?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIARQKIT2TMGZBKV2L6%2F20260612%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260612T120646Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=600&amp;X-Amz-Signature=e0953aed2eaa25dc27d01a3d516dc6c932783405bc0d857704e38cb3db6cfbb0\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-822340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Top five public <span>bitcoin<\/span> treasury companies.

The company estimates that households hold about $7.4 trillion (\u00a51.190 quadrillion). This cuts across cash, deposits, government bonds, domestic money-market funds, monthly-distribution funds, and corporate bonds. Much of that capital remains in low-yield products, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-inflation\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inflation<\/a> and rising rates are pushing investors to seek better returns.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet wants to capture part of that shift. The company says Metaplanet Securities will provide financial products to Japanese investors, including its roughly 250,000 shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Siiibo CEO Kazuki Komura and the existing team are expected to remain involved after the transaction. Metaplanet said existing customers will continue to receive services as before.<\/p>\n<p>For Metaplanet, the deal marks a move beyond simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> accumulation.
