Founder and CEO Simon Gerovich posted on X that the company sold 10,000 BTC and then bought back 11,000 BTC. The sale generated \u00a5124.7 billion (US$760 million or AU$1.1 billion), while the repurchase cost \u00a5149.9 billion (US$900 million or AU$1.3 billion).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gerovich said Metaplanet is rolling out a net interest income strategy to generate recurring revenue and bring down its effective cost of capital as it moves into its next growth phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the company also wanted to prove to lenders and rating agencies that its Bitcoin could be converted into cash if needed. \u201cWe answered by doing it,\u201d Gerovich said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metaplanet sold enough Bitcoin to raise more cash than the principal value of its outstanding bonds, borrowings and other interest-bearing debt, held the funds, and later bought back more Bitcoin than it had sold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metaplanet now holds 44,000 BTC, making it the world\u2019s second-largest Bitcoin treasury company behind Strategy. The move puts Twenty One Capital back in third place with 43,514 coins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also: <\/strong><strong>China\u2019s Spies Put Crypto Under the Microscope<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-strategy-strikes-again-etfs-bleed\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy Strikes Again, ETFs Bleed<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, no doubt, Michael Saylor also delivered. The founder and chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) announced the purchase of 334 BTC, bringing the company\u2019s total holdings to 848,000 BTC.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average price per coin was US$85,839 (AU$123,164), with a total acquisition cost of US$29 million (AU$41.6 million).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strategy also gained US$21 billion (AU$30 billion) on its digital asset holdings in the third quarter, Saylor said. The company also repurchased US$176 million (AU$252.5 million) worth of STRC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at US$85,298 (AU$122,402), down 0.6% on the daily chart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, US spot Bitcoin ETFs started the week in the red, with combined net outflows of US$89.8 million (AU$128.8 million). However, the outflows were concentrated in two funds: Fidelity\u2019s FBTC saw US$74.5 million (AU$106.95 million) in net outflows, while ARK Invest\u2019s ARKB saw US$85.2 million (AU$122.33 million).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BlackRock\u2019s IBIT partly offset those losses, pulling in US$69.9 million (AU$100.36 million) in net inflows during Monday\u2019s trading session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also: <\/strong><strong>US Spot Bitcoin ETF 9-Day Streak Ends, as $150M Leave Funds<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bitcoin,Metaplanet,Microstrategy#Metaplanet #Sells #Bitcoin #Buys #Strategy #Stacking1791273588<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metaplanet sold 10,000 BTC and repurchased 11,000 BTC, increasing its net holdings by 1,000 coins during the third quarter.
