Metaplanet Backs Super League Rebrand as U.S. Bitcoin Treasury Firm

If you've been watching the corporate Bitcoin treasury space, things just got a lot more interesting. Metaplanet — the Tokyo-based company that's quietly become the world's third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, sitting on a stash of 43,000 BTC — is making a major move stateside.

And for the broader Bitcoin treasury trend — where corporations park significant chunks of capital in BTC rather than cash or bonds — Superplanet's launch signals that this strategy is going genuinely global, with serious institutional muscle behind it. Metaplanet's 43,000-BTC war chest makes it a heavyweight player, and its U.S. ambitions are now very much official.
