Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin Strategy with Major Credit Facility

Shares of Japanese investment firm Metaplanet advanced 2.24% to 365 yen today following the company’s announcement that it has fully secured a new $130 million credit line using its existing Bitcoin holdings as collateral. This substantial financial move comes during a period of significant volatility in cryptocurrency markets, representing a confident bet on digital assets.
