Metaplanet Plans Bond Sale to Refinance Bitcoin Loans, Fund Buybacks

Metaplanet plans to issue bonds to refinance Bitcoin-collateralized borrowing and fund share repurchases, according to The Defiant and Cointelegraph. The Defiant reports a ¥52 billion bond sale with up to ¥28.3 billion for buybacks, while Cointelegraph reports $329 million in zero-interest convertible bonds with a five-year maturity to improve debt structure and cut reliance on Bitcoin-collateralized loans without selling holdings.
