Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Strategy via Siiibo Securities, Project Nova Kicks Off

Metaplanet, Asia’s largest Bitcoin treasury company, is further solidifying its strategy. The Japanese investment firm has reportedly entered into an agreement to acquire Siibo Securities, expanding into financial services.

Importantly, this move marks a major step in building its own Bitcoin-financial services ecosystem, Project Nova. With the acquisition of the securities firm, Metaplanet aims to provide Bitcoin-related financial services to its clients.

Metaplanet acquires Siibo Securities

On June 12, 2026, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich took to X to share the company’s latest Bitcoin update. The BTC treasury company is acquiring Siibo Securities as part of its long-term Bitcoin strategy.

In the X post, Gerovich stated that the firm has agreed to acquire the securities firm. The deal is expected to close in July. Soon after the closing, the platform will be renamed as Metaplanet Securities. The statement read,

The company is expected to fund the securities firm acquisition through its cash reserves and borrowed funds. Reports state that the firm may also utilize its BTC-backed credit facilities of up to $500 million.

Project Nova to begin with new financial services

It is worth noting that the acquisition of Siibo Securities marks the first major step in Metaplanet’s vision of launching Project Nova. The project is the result of the company’s long-term plan to establish a Bitcoin-based financial services platform in Japan. Gerovich stated, “This is Metaplanet's first major acquisition and the first concrete step in Project Nova, our long-term strategy to build a Bitcoin-centric financial ecosystem in Japan.”

Metaplanet is the largest public holder of Bitcoin in Asia. Holding more than 40,000 BTC, the company ranks third globally among the largest Bitcoin treasury companies, following Strategy and Twenty One Capital.

Now, the company plans to grow beyond a treasury platform. Through Project Nova, Metaplanet aims to distribute BTC-related investment offerings to customers. While initial offerings are restricted to BTC-linked bonds and other yield-generating instruments, these could be potentially expanded to digital securities, security tokens, and debt products. Thus, the acquisition of Siibo Securities provides a regulated infrastructure for Metaplanet to expand its Bitcoin strategy.

Bitcoin price rebounds amid Metaplanet’s new deal

The Bitcoin price is showing signs of recovery amid the latest Metaplanet development. BTC is now trading at $63,798, marking a 1.5% in a day. Despite a 21% drop in a month, it has surged by nearly 2% over the past seven days.

What is more intriguing is that the price marks an 8% hike from its recent low of $59k, which has sparked some optimism about Bitcoin's market position. However, experts from CryptoQuant believe that a continuous rally seems impossible without a significant rise in demand. Analyst Julio Moreno stated that the Bitcoin price is poised to fall further to reach its potential bottom at $53,600.

At the same time, market analysts like Ali Martinez remain optimistic about the Bitcoin price. In an X post, he noted that BTC could exhibit a 10% rally if it broke past the $63k resistance level. At the same time, he also provided a cautious outlook. He projected a drop if BTC falls below the critical $61k support zone. As the coin is already above the $63k level, traders expect a possible rally.
