CB buyers in size generally want an issuer soft call to be no shorter than 3-4 years out, depending, albeit at a higher premium than 10%, but also usually with an investor put right a year or so earlier. Meaning you have to pay back principal in the worst times, early. Whereas the primary ‘risk’ for this structure, is the right tail; an absolute monster move in BTC, which frankly, would be a massive tailwind for the business in many respects- and is something we can quantify *and* hedge.

An interesting way to frame it. Metaplanet's equity + warrant deal gives vol traders something to work with without having to issue debt (convertible bonds). Without the guaranteed return of principal of bonds, it makes sense that equity + warrant pricing was lower than it might have been for a CB. There is meaningfully higher risk to the buyer. Even so, I would like to have seen warrant pricing higher. On net, this deal is sort of like issuing a convertible bond with a ~9% premium (averaging the premiums of the shares and the warrants).

Breaking down our latest raise. Our single KPI is Bitcoin per share. Every capital decision we make gets measured against that. After our last institutional offering, we heard from shareholders that they wanted us to think differently about how we raise capital. The demand was still clear: more Bitcoin. So here's what we did. Japanese PIPEs typically price at a ~10% discount to market. We sold shares at a 2% premium to market and packaged our equity vol into fixed-strike warrants at a 10% premium. The company gets immediate capital to grow the Bitcoin balance sheet. If the stock goes higher and warrants are exercised, we receive additional capital at a price above today's market. The investors get to express a view on volatility. This isn't zero-sum. Both sides can win. This is the same playbook MSTR pioneered with convertible bonds. A 0% coupon convert was a bond and an embedded call option packaged into one security. The coupon was zero because the embedded option on a levered BTC vehicle was so valuable it replaced the coupon entirely. The bondholder wasn't lending for free. They were paying for vol. Saylor understood this before anyone else in BTC and it unlocked a new paradigm for Bitcoin treasury capital formation. Same principle, different wrapper. We used stock plus warrants instead of converts, so there's no debt, no maturity risk, no overhang, no ongoing dividend or interest payments. The capital structure stays clean with no debt sitting above equity holders, and that's by design. When we issue preferred shares, the balance sheet underneath needs to be pristine. Every Bitcoin we add strengthens that foundation. The bigger the base, the more credible the credit. We are intentionally building this to become the dominant issuer of Bitcoin backed fixed income instruments in Japan. And finally, we run one of the most active BTC derivatives books in the world. Every scenario here has been stress tested and is being managed, including the tail risk on future warrant exercise. We built this company around Bitcoin volatility and BTC Yield. This is what we do. This is permanent capital with no ongoing cost. The proceeds go to Bitcoin. ~$255M now. Up to ~$531M on exercise. March toward 210,000 BTC continues.

@chamath If AI compresses terminal value and makes every moat temporary, capital will rotate to assets with no disruption risk. Bitcoin is Digital Capital - scarce, neutral, and impervious to AI disruption. $BTC should be the primary beneficiary of this shift.

Dylan, simply ignore those whiners, and continue to relentlessly execute and build. It doesn't matter what you say, because their emotional fortitude is the underlying issue. If people trust in your team's ability, they should stay invested. And if they don't trust you, they should sell and get it over with. I haven't sold a single share in the past 6 months, but have kept adding. It's now deep winter in Metaplanet land, but cherry blossom season is near, I reckon. 🌸

Metaplanet has issued 100 million Moving Strike Warrants with a first-of-its-kind mNAV clause. Exercise is only permitted when the stock trades above 1.01x mNAV, ensuring every share issued increases shareholder value. This enables the company to raise an estimated $234M in additional capital to buy BTC, unlocked only when it's accretive to BTC per share. $MPJPY

@AM13978371 @gerovich The engagement and feedback is acknowledged and appreciated. As we have done on multiple occasions, there are unilateral suspension mechanisms in the MSW documentation to preserve optionality. We’re working to find a balance to get the engine humming again.

@DylanLeClair @gerovich Thank you for your responses. I truly hope this allows the company to begin purchasing Bitcoin again. Please forgive me if I'm fearful of dilution at 1.01 mNAV. I hope that you can understand my frustration, as I've been holding many thousands of shares through an 80% decline.

We haven’t sold shares via an ATM like structure for approx 6 months, with MSW floor strikes set at implied mNAV levels much higher than the market. As a result, we didn’t sell raise any capital via MSW even at attractive mNAV levels because of BTC trading weak- while shareholders like yourself asked why we weren’t buying the dip. The new structure has a self imposed floating floor that we *did not* have to add, but did so voluntarily. There was no reason to add such a feature that would intentionally limit capital raising optionality other than shareholder interests.

@DylanLeClair @gerovich You're correct, Dylan. I have been disappointed in the lack of purchases. I even suggested in the survey that the company should have set an mNAV floor and I'm glad the change was made. However, I think 1.01 is entirely too low. I, and many other holders, would be fine with 1.1

@AM13978371 @gerovich You have been replying to posts for months asking why more capital is not being raised to buy BTC. Should we raise capital, or not? Should we buy BTC, or not? TSE rules don’t allow daily management at the same level as a U.S. ATM- the mNAV clause is a protective mechanism.
CapnMorgan@AM13978371

@DylanLeClair This is good, but when will Metaplanet purchase Bitcoin again? There hasn't been a purchase in months. MERCURY funds were used to pay down debt. The 637¥ MSW strike price is far away. MARS still isn't approved. How can you be a perpetual accumulation machine if you can't buy?

@gerovich Well, what's the plan now? Bitcoin is up 2.25% and Metaplanet is down 9%. The market clearly doesn't like this new MSW plan. Diluting at 1.01mNAV?? Why so low??
