The acquisition of Siiibo Securities will enable Metaplanet to launch Bitcoin-linked yield products for retail investors in Japan.
Metaplanet has agreed to acquire Siiibo Securities for 2.1 billion yen ($13 million), with the deal set to close in July 2026. The move aims to rebrand the firm as Metaplanet Securities and develop Bitcoin-linked yield products for Japanese retail investors.
Siiibo Securities holds a Type 1 Financial Instruments Business license and has facilitated over 100 corporate bond offerings. The acquisition marks the first step in Metaplanet’s ‘Project Nova,’ a strategy to build a Bitcoin-centric financial ecosystem leveraging its 40,177 BTC treasury.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich described the deal as a foundational move for expanding beyond Bitcoin accumulation into active financial product development.
