Metaplanet completed the purchase of Tokyo-based Siiibo Securities in a deal worth about 2.1 billion yen. The acquisition supports the company's Project Nova initiative to develop Bitcoin-linked financial products.
Metaplanet posted higher operating profit for the first quarter, supported by income from bitcoin holdings. The company nevertheless recorded a $728 million loss from valuation markdowns after bitcoin prices fell sharply.
