[Crypto Briefing](https://cryptobriefing.com/metaplanet-us-subsidiary-adds-bitcoin-super-league/) reported the purchase, which it said has not been independently corroborated by major financial or crypto outlets.\n\n## Metaplanet's Super League Takeover Terms\n\nThe buyer is Metaplanet Holdings, Inc., the Florida-based arm of Japan's [Metaplanet](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000064i/metaplanet) Inc. On August 18, 2026, Metaplanet announced that its US subsidiary would contribute 2,100 BTC along with $2.5 million in cash. In exchange, it expects to acquire approximately 95.7% of Super League Enterprise, a company listed on Nasdaq.\n\nOnce the deal closes, Super League is set to rebrand as Superplanet Inc., trading under the ticker SUPA. The company plans to keep running its existing gaming and media advertising businesses. The arrangement includes control through preferred stock, plus rights to invest up to $210 million. At the time of the August announcement, Metaplanet held roughly 43,000 to 44,000 BTC in total, and the 2,100 BTC earmarked for the deal works out to about 4.9% of that stash.\n\nSuper League shareholders approved the share issuance tied to the deal on October 16, 2026. Closing is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026 and still depends on regulatory and Nasdaq approvals.\n\n## Metaplanet's Bitcoin Treasury Scale\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Metaplanet holds 40,177 BTC, worth $3.2 billion, making it the third-largest publicly listed Bitcoin holder globally and the largest in Asia. The same records put its holdings' average cost at roughly $97,000 to $107,000 per BTC. Metaplanet has raised $255 million from institutional investors through a share placement at 380 yen per share, with warrant structures that could bring total funding to $531 million if fully exercised before March 2028.\n\n## Earlier Metaplanet Developments\n\nOn October 23, 2026, Crypto Briefing reported that Capital Group reclaimed top shareholder status at Metaplanet, holding 143.3 million shares, or 11.11% of voting rights, as of October 16, 2026, up from 125.5 million shares and 9.76% after adding about 17.8 million shares through market purchases. ChainCatcher reported on October 5, 2026, that Metaplanet recorded a net purchase of 1,000 BTC in its third quarter of 2026, bringing total holdings to 44,000 BTC, after selling 10,000 BTC and buying 11,000 BTC during the quarter to test its ability to liquidate Bitcoin. CoinDesk reported on September 30, 2026, that Metaplanet's independent directors defended its 10th series of stock acquisition rights, which management bought with personal funds during a financial crisis, and that the company cut the potential share pool by 41% to 188.2 million, extinguishing over $220 million in warrant value.\n\n## What Comes Next For Superplanet\n\nThe remaining steps are the regulatory and Nasdaq approvals, the actual transfer of the 2,100 BTC, and the first trading day for SUPA.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
