Metaplanet, a publicly traded Japanese company focused on Bitcoin treasury strategies, has raised $130 million through a Bitcoin-backed loan, according to a Tuesday announcement.
Including this loan, the company has borrowed $230 million out of a $500 million facility. The company plans to use the proceeds to accumulate more Bitcoin, expand its Bitcoin income-generation business, and conduct share repurchases.
