Metaplanet stopped buying Bitcoin for months, concealing a ruthless arbitrage strategy that puts retail to shame

Over the past quarter, the most notable market signal from Japan-based Metaplanet was not a single Bitcoin purchase, but a pause.

The Tokyo-listed firm, which spent much of 2025 aggressively acquiring Bitcoin, has not issued a “Notice of Additional Purchase” since Oct. 1.

While retail observers feared a loss of conviction, the silence masked a critical financial dislocation that had seen Metaplanet’s Market Net Asset Value (MNAV) briefly dip below 1.0.

For a corporate treasury vehicle, an MNAV below 1.0 signals a fundamental inefficiency. It means the company’s stock is trading at a discount to the raw value of the Bitcoin on its balance sheet.

When this inversion occurs, buying Bitcoin on the open market becomes mathematically inferior to buying back one’s own discounted shares.

Considering this, the firm's management recognized this arbitrage window immediately. So, they ceased direct accumulation to re-engineer their capital stack, pivoting from simple buying to aggressive leverage and equity management.

The leverage pivot

Since the MNAV dislocation, the firm has executed a massive liquidity overhaul. Metaplanet secured a $100 million loan collateralized by some of its existing 30,893 Bitcoin holdings, explicitly earmarked to double down on accumulation during market pullbacks.

Simultaneously, it introduced a $500 million credit line dedicated to a share-buyback program, which fundamentally alters the company's defense mechanics.

When MNAV drops below parity, every share Metaplanet retires effectively increases the Bitcoin-per-share ratio for remaining investors more efficiently than a raw Bitcoin purchase would.

This is the hallmark of a mature financial operator rather than a passive holding company.

By pairing this defense with a $100 million Bitcoin-backed loan, Metaplanet is layering risk to amplify returns. Borrowing against the stack to buy more of the underlying asset is the classic “looping” strategy used by aggressive crypto-native funds, but rarely seen in Japanese corporate governance.

It indicates that CEO Simon Gerovich is willing to tolerate higher volatility in exchange for maximizing the treasury’s size before the next supply shock.

The strategy suggests that the October-to-December pause was a period of rigorous balance sheet restructuring. Management needed to unlock the liquidity trapped in their cold wallets to fund the next leg of growth.

With the credit facilities now in place, the company has effectively armed itself to buy both its own stock and Bitcoin on any given trading day, depending on where the deepest value lies.

The EGM mandate

The structural foundation for this new aggression was cemented on Dec. 22.

Speaking following an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of shareholders, Gerovich confirmed that investors approved all five management proposals. The resolutions provide the legal and mechanical rails necessary to execute the company’s complex new roadmap.

The first proposal was the most consequential for immediate capital allocation. Shareholders authorized the transfer of capital stock and reserves into “other capital surplus.”

In plain English, this accounting maneuver frees up distributable capital, allowing the company to pay dividends on preferred shares and creates the capacity for the treasury stock acquisitions needed to close the MNAV discount.

The second proposal increased the authorized share count for Class A and Class B preferred shares from 277.5 million to 555 million for each class.

This massive increase in headroom creates a “shelf” that allows Metaplanet to raise capital rapidly without needing to convene future shareholder meetings. It effectively gives management a blank check to scale the balance sheet as fast as institutional demand allows.

The remaining proposals re-architected the preferred shares themselves. The Class A shares, now dubbed “MARS” (Metaplanet Adjustable Rate Security), shifted to a monthly variable-rate dividend.

This design aims to stabilize the instrument's price, making it more attractive to conservative income investors.

Meanwhile, Class B shares were retooled to pay quarterly dividends and, significantly, now include a call provision exercisable by the issuer at 130% after 10 years.

They also grant investors a put option if an IPO does not occur within one year. This clause hints strongly at potential future listing ambitions or liquidity events, possibly in US markets.

Meanwhile, perhaps the most potent catalyst for the Metaplanet's future arrived not from Tokyo, but from Oslo. Norges Bank Investment Management, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund with $2 trillion in assets, had disclosed unanimous support for all five of Metaplanet’s proposals.

For a sovereign wealth fund of this magnitude to affirmatively vote in favor of a capital restructuring explicitly designed to facilitate Bitcoin accumulation is a watershed moment for the asset class.

It signals that institutional allocators are beginning to view Bitcoin treasury strategies not as “shadow banking” anomalies, but as legitimate corporate governance structures.

The road to 100,000 BTC

With the governance approvals secured and the credit lines open, the “pause” is effectively over. The restructuring has cleared the path for Metaplanet to pursue its stated “North Star” goal of a treasury of 100,000 BTC.

The combination of the EGM mandate and the Norges Bank endorsement provides the fuel. The $100 million loan and the $500 million buyback facility give the engine.

Metaplanet has transitioned from a company that buys Bitcoin with cash flow to a financial engineer that uses every tool in the corporate finance manual, including buybacks, asset-backed lending, and structured preferred equity, to maximize its exposure.

Essentially, the market should expect the filing cadence to resume at a higher intensity. However, the nature of the filings will likely change. We will likely see a dynamic mix of share repurchases when the MNAV discount widens, and aggressive spot Bitcoin purchases when the premium returns.

The silence of the last three months was not hesitation. It was the sound of a company reloading.

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Turn lengthy earnings call transcripts into one-page insights using the Financial Modeling Prep APIPhoto by Bich Tran Earnings calls are packed with insights. They tell you how a company performed, what management expects in the future, and what analysts are worried about. The challenge is that these transcripts often stretch across dozens of pages, making it tough to separate the key takeaways from the noise. With the right tools, you don’t need to spend hours reading every line. By combining the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API with Groq’s lightning-fast LLMs, you can transform any earnings call into a concise summary in seconds. The FMP API provides reliable access to complete transcripts, while Groq handles the heavy lifting of distilling them into clear, actionable highlights. In this article, we’ll build a Python workflow that brings these two together. You’ll see how to fetch transcripts for any stock, prepare the text, and instantly generate a one-page summary. Whether you’re tracking Apple, NVIDIA, or your favorite growth stock, the process works the same — fast, accurate, and ready whenever you are. Fetching Earnings Transcripts with FMP API The first step is to pull the raw transcript data. FMP makes this simple with dedicated endpoints for earnings calls. If you want the latest transcripts across the market, you can use the stable endpoint /stable/earning-call-transcript-latest. For a specific stock, the v3 endpoint lets you request transcripts by symbol, quarter, and year using the pattern: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={q}&year={y}&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY here’s how you can fetch NVIDIA’s transcript for a given quarter: import requestsAPI_KEY = "your_api_key"symbol = "NVDA"quarter = 2year = 2024url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={API_KEY}"response = requests.get(url)data = response.json()# Inspect the keysprint(data.keys())# Access transcript contentif "content" in data[0]: transcript_text = data[0]["content"] print(transcript_text[:500]) # preview first 500 characters The response typically includes details like the company symbol, quarter, year, and the full transcript text. If you aren’t sure which quarter to query, the “latest transcripts” endpoint is the quickest way to always stay up to date. Cleaning and Preparing Transcript Data Raw transcripts from the API often include long paragraphs, speaker tags, and formatting artifacts. Before sending them to an LLM, it helps to organize the text into a cleaner structure. Most transcripts follow a pattern: prepared remarks from executives first, followed by a Q&A session with analysts. Separating these sections gives better control when prompting the model. In Python, you can parse the transcript and strip out unnecessary characters. A simple way is to split by markers such as “Operator” or “Question-and-Answer.” Once separated, you can create two blocks — Prepared Remarks and Q&A — that will later be summarized independently. This ensures the model handles each section within context and avoids missing important details. Here’s a small example of how you might start preparing the data: import re# Example: using the transcript_text we fetched earliertext = transcript_text# Remove extra spaces and line breaksclean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip()# Split sections (this is a heuristic; real-world transcripts vary slightly)if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1)else: prepared, qna = clean_text, ""print("Prepared Remarks Preview:\n", prepared[:500])print("\nQ&A Preview:\n", qna[:500]) With the transcript cleaned and divided, you’re ready to feed it into Groq’s LLM. Chunking may be necessary if the text is very long. A good approach is to break it into segments of a few thousand tokens, summarize each part, and then merge the summaries in a final pass. Summarizing with Groq LLM Now that the transcript is clean and split into Prepared Remarks and Q&A, we’ll use Groq to generate a crisp one-pager. The idea is simple: summarize each section separately (for focus and accuracy), then synthesize a final brief. Prompt design (concise and factual) Use a short, repeatable template that pushes for neutral, investor-ready language: You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call sectionfor {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise.Return:1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets)2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened)3) Forward outlook (specific statements)4) Risks / watch-outs5) Q&A takeaways (if present)Text:<<<{section_text}>>> Python: calling Groq and getting a clean summary Groq provides an OpenAI-compatible API. Set your GROQ_API_KEY and pick a fast, high-quality model (e.g., a Llama-3.1 70B variant). We’ll write a helper to summarize any text block, then run it for both sections and merge. import osimport textwrapimport requestsGROQ_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY") or "your_groq_api_key"GROQ_BASE_URL = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" # OpenAI-compatibleMODEL = "llama-3.1-70b" # choose your preferred Groq modeldef call_groq(prompt, temperature=0.2, max_tokens=1200): url = f"{GROQ_BASE_URL}/chat/completions" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {GROQ_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json", } payload = { "model": MODEL, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a precise, neutral equity research analyst."}, {"role": "user", "content": prompt}, ], "temperature": temperature, "max_tokens": max_tokens, } r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=60) r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"].strip()def build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year): template = """ You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call section for {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise. Return: 1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets) 2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened) 3) Forward outlook (specific statements) 4) Risks / watch-outs 5) Q&A takeaways (if present) Text: <<< {section_text} >>> """ return textwrap.dedent(template).format( symbol=symbol, quarter=quarter, year=year, section_text=section_text )def summarize_section(section_text, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024"): if not section_text or section_text.strip() == "": return "(No content found for this section.)" prompt = build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year) return call_groq(prompt)# Example usage with the cleaned splits from Section 3prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")final_one_pager = f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks — Key Points{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()print(final_one_pager[:1200]) # preview Tips that keep quality high: Keep temperature low (≈0.2) for factual tone. If a section is extremely long, chunk at ~5–8k tokens, summarize each chunk with the same prompt, then ask the model to merge chunk summaries into one section summary before producing the final one-pager. If you also fetched headline numbers (EPS/revenue, guidance) earlier, prepend them to the prompt as brief context to help the model anchor on the right outcomes. Building the End-to-End Pipeline At this point, we have all the building blocks: the FMP API to fetch transcripts, a cleaning step to structure the data, and Groq LLM to generate concise summaries. The final step is to connect everything into a single workflow that can take any ticker and return a one-page earnings call summary. The flow looks like this: Input a stock ticker (for example, NVDA). Use FMP to fetch the latest transcript. Clean and split the text into Prepared Remarks and Q&A. Send each section to Groq for summarization. Merge the outputs into a neatly formatted earnings one-pager. Here’s how it comes together in Python: def summarize_earnings_call(symbol, quarter, year, api_key, groq_key): # Step 1: Fetch transcript from FMP url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={api_key}" resp = requests.get(url) resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() if not data or "content" not in data[0]: return f"No transcript found for {symbol} {quarter} {year}" text = data[0]["content"] # Step 2: Clean and split clean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip() if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1) else: prepared, qna = clean_text, "" # Step 3: Summarize with Groq prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol, quarter, year) qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol, quarter, year) # Step 4: Merge into final one-pager return f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()# Example runprint(summarize_earnings_call("NVDA", 2, 2024, API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY)) With this setup, generating a summary becomes as simple as calling one function with a ticker and date. You can run it inside a notebook, integrate it into a research workflow, or even schedule it to trigger after each new earnings release. Free Stock Market API and Financial Statements API... Conclusion Earnings calls no longer need to feel overwhelming. With the Financial Modeling Prep API, you can instantly access any company’s transcript, and with Groq LLM, you can turn that raw text into a sharp, actionable summary in seconds. This pipeline saves hours of reading and ensures you never miss the key results, guidance, or risks hidden in lengthy remarks. Whether you track tech giants like NVIDIA or smaller growth stocks, the process is the same — fast, reliable, and powered by the flexibility of FMP’s data.
