The deal grants Metaplanet a regulated platform to develop BTC-linked bonds and tokenized securities under Project Nova.
Metaplanet purchased Tokyo-based Siiibo Securities for approximately $13.1 million, securing a regulated securities license to advance its bitcoin financial ecosystem. The acquisition supports Project Nova, a long-term initiative to create BTC-linked investment products, including bonds and tokenized securities.
Siiibo Securities, now renamed Metaplanet Securities, specializes in corporate bond issuance and distribution, having facilitated over 100 offerings. Metaplanet holds 40,177 BTC, valued at $2.6 billion as of May 31, positioning bitcoin as a core asset for its financial strategy.
The deal marks Metaplanet’s first major step toward building a bitcoin-centric financial infrastructure, leveraging Siiibo’s existing platform and licensing capabilities.
