Takes as collateral: bitcoin
Dollar loans only: other currencies are separate books, never added in
Debt and rates count loans made in US dollars and dollar stablecoins. Loans in euros, francs, yen, ether or bitcoin itself are separate books, shown by currency on each venue, never added in.
- BTC held (issuer filings) — bitcoin the issuer holds and reports, not collateral pledged to its creditors: there is no lien on it.
- Dollar debt against bitcoin — registered debt financed by bitcoin the issuer holds — no lien on the coins, so not debt secured by them.
- Debt / BTC held — registered debt over the value of the bitcoin held — not an LTV: there is no lien.

Markets — as served, not a venue rate
One row per market, as the venue publishes them. These are market rates: combining them into a single venue rate is a weighting across this venue's markets, and choosing one here would be a methodology decision taken in a web page.
No BTC market rows are served for this venue. This venue runs no contracts, so there is no market state to read — the absence is a property of the venue class, not a gap.
Price
What does credit cost here, and how is the price formed?
| Rate formation | administeredsourceCorporate paper: the rate is set by the issuer and its counterparties at issue, or by the board — administered. The facility's rate follows a reference dollar rate plus a negotiated spread; the lender is undisclosed at its own request. |
|---|---|
| Term structure | open_endedsourceMetaplanet — the facility, the largest registered instrument, has no fixed term: "Term: Automatically renewed on a daily basis", "Repayable at any time at the Company's discretion" (Metaplanet notice of 2025-10-28 (contents.xj-storage.jp/xcontents/33500/8f14b71e/…/140120251028579824.pdf)). The 20th Series of Ordinary Bonds mature 2027-04-23 with a holder put; the Class B preferred is perpetual. |
| Rate certainty | variablesourceMetaplanet — the facility floats: "Interest Rate: Reference USD interest rate + spread" (Metaplanet notice of 2025-10-28 (contents.xj-storage.jp/xcontents/33500/8f14b71e/…/140120251028579824.pdf)); 7.25% was the weighted-average rate on short-term borrowings at 2025-12-31. The bonds pay 0% and the Class B preferred a fixed 4.9%. |
Quality
What stands behind a position, and what can change under the reader?
| Oracle dependency | undisclosedsourceMetaplanet — the $414m bitcoin-collateralised credit facility is secured on pledged bitcoin; its contractual LTV and margin thresholds, and the price that would mark them, are not disclosed (FY2025 securities report; Metaplanet notice of 2025-10-28 (contents.xj-storage.jp/xcontents/33500/8f14b71e/…/140120251028579824.pdf)). The bonds and the preferred shares are unsecured and depend on no price. |
|---|---|
| Default & liquidation | undisclosedsourceMetaplanet — "the facility's lender holds a priority right over the Bitcoin pledged as collateral" (Q2 FY2026 Tanshin). The margin and liquidation terms are not disclosed, nor is the count of bitcoin pledged: the FY2025 report gives bitcoin worth JPY 68,385m pledged against JPY 43,836m borrowed at 2025-12-31. The bonds and preferred have no collateral and no liquidation. |
| Custody & backing | undisclosedsourceMetaplanet — the facility's lender is "undisclosed at the counterparty's request" and described as a custodian in the Japanese notice. Who holds the pledged bitcoin, and whether it may be reused, is not disclosed. |
| Recourse | recoursesourceMetaplanet — the bonds are unsecured and unguaranteed general obligations of the company ("Guarantee: None. Collateral: None."), ranking ahead of the preferred and common shares. Whether the facility lender has a claim beyond the pledged bitcoin is not disclosed. |
| Track record | 0 months observedsourceDerived from credit_venues.first_date (2026-09-22), the day the issuer's instruments were first registered here from its filings. This is a LOWER BOUND on the venue's age, not the age itself: a venue trading long before we began reading it reads short here. Not typed, and not a claim about the venue's longevity. |
Composition
Who and what makes up this market?
| Collateral accepted | BTC pledged to one credit facility (count undisclosed); the bonds and preferred are unsecuredsourceCorporate registry (registry/corporate_registry.yaml), as served 2026-09-30. Bitcoin worth JPY 68,385m was pledged against JPY 43,836m borrowed at 2025-12-31 (FY2025 securities report); the facility has since been drawn to $414m (2026-06-30) of a $500m limit, and the pledged count is not published. 43,000 BTC held at 2026-08-18. |
|---|---|
| Book depth & concentration | unknown (no per-venue counterparty count exists in this registry or in the comparison payload, so depth and concentration cannot be established. This is a gap in THIS DATASET, not in the venue, and is a different value from `undisclosed`, which would mean the venue does not publish it.) |
| Observability | price: partial — The USD bitcoin-backed facility carries a filed weighted rate (7.25% at 2025-12-31); the yen bonds and Class B preferred state fixed rates but trade on no market this estate reads. quantity: partial — USD 414m drawn on the BTC-secured facility, a JPY 8bn bond and JPY 23.6bn of Class B preferred, from the 2026-06-30 filings; JPY shown apart from USD totals. composition: none — Convertible notes and secured debt sourced from filings. Slow-moving and partly manual; no ingestion built. Included in the registry despite holding nothing because this is the largest tranche of Bitcoin-collateralised credit by notional and nobody aggregates it — an empty row that names the gap is the point. |
What the loans are denominated in
| Borrowed in | Assets | Size (USD equivalent) | In the loan asset | Read by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US dollars | metaplanet_btc_facility | $414m | 414,000,000 metaplanet_btc_facility | issuer filings, 2026-06-30 |
| yen | metaplanet_bond_20, metaplanet_class_b | $200m | — | issuer filings, 2026-06-30 |
Each currency is a separate book; the dollar equivalents compare sizes and are never added together.
Backing chain
Each link from what this venue takes as collateral down to the bitcoin it rests on, in order, with how each link was established.
How a chain is read, and what it does not claim
backing_chain: the ordered claims standing between a creditor and the coins, each link derived from a sourced fact already held and carrying it in `derived_from` — the custody cell, the venue's borrow card, or wrapper_registry.yaml for who holds the bitcoin behind a token. A `representation` link has one branch per token the venue takes; branches are alternatives, not a sequence. A link nobody has established is shown with status `incomplete` and names what is missing — it is never dropped, because a missing link omitted makes a long chain look short. `undisclosed` means the party does not publish it; `incomplete` means this dataset has not established it. NEVER SCORED AND NEVER COUNTED: no length, link count or ranking is published, and none should be derived — chain length and link transparency are orthogonal (ETP-backed margin is the longest chain here and every link of it is regulated). `recourse` is what the creditor holds beyond the chain. ⚠ Tokens are identified BY SYMBOL: the wrapper registry is not keyed by chain or address, so every `representation` link carries a `deployment` step that is incomplete — whether a token is native to the chain of the venue or a bridge receipt (one more link) is not established — and a symbol the registry knows to name a different token on a venue is shown unresolved, not given that wrapper's holders.

The generic axis set
Identical for every venue, identically computed. An axis that cannot be computed here renders its reason — never silently omitted, because an omitted axis says it was not considered. A figure that covers only part of what the axis asks is marked, with what it leaves out beneath it. Collateral, debt and the borrow and lend rates are the tiles at the top of this page.
| Utilisation (venue roll-up) | not applicable — there is no pool of deposits here to be drawn |
|---|---|
| Intermediation margin | unknown (not published by the venue) — needs both a borrow and a lend rate; the borrow rate is not served here |

| Rate volatility (30/90d) | unknown (not published by the venue) — a posted or filed rate has no daily series here |
| Spread to the pair aggregate | unknown (not published by the venue) — this venue has no borrow rate to compare |
