Background and Purpose of Investment\nMetaplanet Inc. has signed a basic agreement to invest up to 400 million yen in the Series B funding round of JPYC Co., Ltd., issuer of the Japanese yen-denominated stablecoin \u201cJPYC,\u201d through its wholly owned subsidiary, Metaplanet Ventures Inc. JPYC Co., Ltd. has obtained registration as a funds transfer service provider with the Financial Services Agency and has established a leading position in the Japanese yen stablecoin market. We aim to secure an early position in the Japanese yen-denominated digital payment layer that supports Bitcoin-native financial service infrastructure, anticipating growth in the digital asset market.\n\n### Strategic Utilization and Future Outlook\nBy integrating Bitcoin-based financial services with Japanese yen-denominated digital payments, we are exploring new potential uses such as tokenization of corporate securities, distribution using stablecoins, lending and collateral infrastructure, and integrated wallet services. This investment is subject to the conclusion of a final agreement and internal approval, and the impact on consolidated results for the fiscal year ending December 2026 is expected to be minimal.","jir_financial_highlights":"Investment Amount: Up to 400 million yen (Unknown)\nCapital (JPYC Co., Ltd.): 100 million yen (Unknown)\nEstablishment Date (JPYC Co., Ltd.): November 2019 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#MetaplanetInc, #M&A, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Investment Amount: Up to 400 million yen (Series B funding round)\nJPYC Co., Ltd.
