Metaplanet Parks 2,100 Bitcoin in a Nasdaq Shell. Superplanet to List as SUPA.

Metaplanet and Super League Enterprise announced a definitive agreement on Tuesday. Japan’s listed bitcoin treasury will put 2,100 BTC, valued at about $132.1 million, plus $2.5 million cash, into the Nasdaq-listed gaming-media company. That is about $134.6 million. Super League will be renamed Superplanet, Inc., ticker SUPA.

It is not a reverse takeover and not a SPAC. Super League stays listed. The gaming-media book stays as a segment.

The stack moves. It is not a new buy.

Metaplanet held 43,000 BTC as of Tuesday. The 2,100 BTC is about 4.9% of that stack. The coins stay inside the consolidated group. Superplanet’s bitcoin will sit in Metaplanet’s accounts.

Term Print
Consideration 2,100 BTC (~$132.1 million) + $2.5 million cash ≈ $134.6 million
Common shares 44,859,400 at $3.00
Post-close ownership ~95.7% common (~93.6% if outstanding pre-funded warrants are exercised)
Extra right, 24 months up to 2,100,000 junior liquidity preferred at $100.00 stated value, up to $210.0 million
Lock-up five years on Metaplanet common, including warrant and preferred conversion shares
Close Q4 2026, Super League stockholder vote plus Nasdaq and US/Japan steps

The share count was fixed off the Coinbase bitcoin close at 16:00 New York on 14 August. It will not move with bitcoin before close.

Warrants and a nine-seat board

Metaplanet gets ten-year warrants on up to 381,000,000 shares in four tranches, exercise $3.00 to $33.50. Evo Fund separately gets up to 10,000,000 shares in two tranches. Metaplanet also takes 100 shares of convertible perpetual preferred, which carries the right to designate a majority of the board.

The board will have nine directors, five from Metaplanet. Named: Simon Gerovich, Frederick Towfigh, and John H. Whitehouse III. Two more to come. Matthew Edelman stays chief executive. The chair is Metaplanet’s pick.

Gerovich said Superplanet is how the firm “build[s] in America.” Edelman said Super League had already cut debt and simplified the capital structure. Those are quotes from the Tuesday release. They are not a bitcoin price call.

The chain is a parked slice of an existing treasury, a Nasdaq wrapper, and a five-year lock-up. It is not a fresh bid for coins.

Live bitcoin is on bitcoin and prices.

Bessent Presses Senate on CLARITY Ahead of Sept. 15 Cloture, Framing Crypto Market Structure as National Security

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Senate to advance the CLARITY Act, warning that walking away would forfeit enhanced crypto national-security tools and signal the U.S. is ceding digital-asset leadership. The Sept. 15 vote is cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633 — it needs 60 votes and is not final passage. The tone shifts from July’s market-structure urgency to a national-security frame.
