Metaplanet’s second phase of Bitcoin strategy plans to pledge BTC for financing and considers acquiring local digital banks
Odaily News Metaplanet plans to use its growing Bitcoin reserves to acquire cash-rich businesses, including considering acquiring a digital bank in Japan. In a recent interview, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said the company is accelerating the accumulation of as much Bitcoin as possible and then using these assets to expand, making it difficult for other competitors to catch up.
The second phase of Metaplanets Bitcoin strategy is to use Bitcoin as collateral to obtain financing, similar to securities or government bonds. Simon Gerovich said that future acquisition targets will be consistent with the companys strategy, possibly acquiring a digital bank in Japan and providing better digital banking services than existing retail banks. Simon Gerovich ruled out the possibility of issuing convertible bonds, but was open to issuing preferred shares to support growth. (Cointelegraph)
