The goal is to use <span>bitcoin<\/span> as collateral for tokenized instruments, including digital corporate bonds, settled through a yen <span>stablecoin<\/span> and managed with security tokens.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Simon Gerovich filed the notice under Metaplanet\u2019s Project NOVA strategy. The <a href=\"https:\/\/contents.xj-storage.jp\/xcontents\/33500\/711e926c\/31b6\/4f10\/bd57\/7a3c01ff5c78\/140120260710591204.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study<\/a> does not launch a product.

Metaplanet wants <span>bitcoin<\/span> to function as credit enhancement and collateral, not just a line item that rises and falls with the market. The company frames this as the next stage of a strategy that started with buying and holding.<\/p>\n<h2>A Treasury Built for More Than Holding<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/metaplanet-buys-2823-bitcoins-for-225m-as-treasury-reaches-43000-btc-holdings\/\">Metaplanet<\/a> started buying <span>Bitcoin<\/span> in 2024, following the corporate treasury model Strategy built in the United States. By the end of the second quarter of 2026, the company held approximately 43,000 <span>BTC<\/span>, including 2,823 <span>BTC<\/span> purchased during that quarter alone.<\/p>\n<p>At prices near the announcement, that treasury sat in the range of $2.5 billion to $4 billion, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin Treasuries data<\/a>, which places Metaplanet third among public corporate <span>Bitcoin<\/span> holders behind Strategy and Twenty One Capital. Today, Metaplanet\u2019s stash is valued at $2.75 billion based on Saturday\u2019s <span>BTC<\/span> exchange rates.<\/p>\n<p>The company already leans on that treasury for financing. It holds a $500 million credit facility with substantial drawdowns and has looked at bitcoin-backed preferred share structures in the past. Those moves fund additional purchases and generate yield without forcing repeated equity raises.<\/p>\n<h2>Buying a License to Build<\/h2>\n<p>Metaplanet bought Siiibo Securities in June 2026 for approximately 2.1 billion yen, or roughly $13 million. Siiibo holds a Type 1 Financial Instruments Business license and has experience distributing corporate bonds online. The brokerage becomes Metaplanet Securities on July 13, 2026, giving Metaplanet direct access to roughly 250,000 investors and the regulatory standing to structure and sell credit products.<\/p>\n<p>That license is the foundation Project NOVA needed. Metaplanet now controls the treasury asset, the distribution channel, and the investor base in one structure.<\/p>\n<h2>Where the Bond Market Breaks Down<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/japan-nikkei-36-percent-quarterly-gain-biggest-since-1965\/\">Japan<\/a>\u2018s corporate bond market runs on public offerings from large issuers. Mid-sized and growth companies face heavy administrative costs to issue debt, manage investors, and service payments. Metaplanet\u2019s notice frames digital credit as a natural fix, pointing to instruments that could trade and settle globally on a 24\/7\/365 basis, with interest accruing daily based on how long an investor holds the position.<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s Companies Act was not built for that. Dividend record dates, shareholder registries and book-entry settlement systems make daily, continuous distribution difficult under the current infrastructure. Tokenizing the rights and routing payments through a <span>stablecoin<\/span> sidesteps that constraint.<\/p>\n<h2>Four Companies, Four Jobs<\/h2>\n<p>The study splits work across four entities. Metaplanet supplies the <span>Bitcoin<\/span> treasury as potential collateral and leads product design. Metaplanet Securities handles structuring, distribution and investor communication. JPYC Inc. examines how its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/metaplanet-announces-strategic-investment-in-jpyc-stablecoin-through-new-venture-arm\/\">yen-pegged stablecoin<\/a> can manage issuance, redemption and daily distributions. Progmat Inc. provides the regulated infrastructure for issuing and managing the security tokens, including holder records and transfer restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the four cover collateral, compliant token representation and settlement rails in one pipeline. Similar daily-accrual, continuously tradable credit structures already exist in parts of the U.S. market. The study looks at adapting that model to Japan\u2019s rules while using <span>Bitcoin<\/span> as the collateral layer that sets it apart.<\/p>\n<h2>What Traders Should Watch<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing here is final. Metaplanet has not set an issuance date, interest rate, product structure or sales method, and the company stated the announcement is not an offer or solicitation of any financial instrument. Any product would require separate approval from Japanese regulators, internal sign-off at each of the four companies, and proof-of-concept testing before it reaches investors.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet also confirmed that its 43,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a> holdings are not pledged to any specific product at this stage. Collateral valuation during <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-volatility\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volatile<\/a> price swings, custody arrangements, and integration with legacy settlement systems remain open questions that the study needs to answer.<\/p>\n<p>If the framework holds up, Metaplanet gains a second business line built on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> holdings rather than price appreciation alone. Japanese households sitting on low-yield bank deposits would gain a regulated path into bitcoin-linked credit products denominated in yen. For a company that built its identity around accumulating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a>, this study marks the first formal step toward putting that stockpile to work.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/metaplanet-to-research-bitcoin-collateral-for-round-the-clock-bond-settlement\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Metaplanet, JPYC and Progmat began a joint study on bitcoin-backed digital bonds on July 10, 2026.
