Metaplanet says it sold 10,000 BTC and later repurchased 11,000, ending September 30 with 44,000 BTC—a net increase of 1,000 BTC. CEO Simon Gerovich said the sale was meant to show rating agencies and credit investors that the company could turn Bitcoin into cash to meet obligations: Metaplanet held the sale proceeds, which exceeded the outstanding principal of its bonds, borrowings, and other interest-bearing debt, before buying back more BTC than it sold.

Investor commentator UncleDividends gives the reported averages as ¥12.47 million per BTC sold and ¥13.63 million per BTC repurchased, and says no debt was repaid. He interprets the exercise as a test of willingness to sell Bitcoin for creditors, rather than a retreat from the treasury strategy. UncleDividends’ post

Gerovich separately describes the new Net Interest Income Strategy as a way to create recurring income and lower Metaplanet’s effective cost of capital. CoinDesk reports that the strategy targets preferred securities issued by Bitcoin treasury companies. Gerovich’s post · CoinDesk’s post

The transaction and holdings figures are company statements relayed by its CEO; the per-BTC averages and the claim that no debt was repaid come from UncleDividends’ account of the disclosure.
