Super League 以 83,041.40 美元买入首枚比特币，为 Metaplanet 交易铺路

Super League Enterprise has bought its first Bitcoin. Just one, for $83,041.40.

The Nasdaq-listed company (NASDAQ: SLE) made the purchase days before shareholders vote on a deal that would bring 2,100 Bitcoin onto its books.

One coin, filed with the SEC

The purchase happened on October 10, 2026. Super League disclosed it in an SEC Form 8-K filed on October 13.

The company framed the buy as a first step. It is exploring Bitcoin as a treasury asset that would sit alongside its cash. It did not announce a formal commitment.

CEO Matt Edelman described the transaction as an inaugural acquisition. He tied it to the company’s plan to combine a Bitcoin treasury strategy with its existing gaming and media operations.

The Metaplanet deal waiting in the wings

Super League signed an agreement with Metaplanet Inc. (TSE: 3350) on August 18, 2026.

Metaplanet is Japan’s third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. Under the deal, it plans to contribute 2,100 Bitcoin plus $2.5 million in cash.

In exchange, Metaplanet would receive approximately 95.7% of Super League’s common stock.

The treasury contribution from Metaplanet was initially valued at around $132 million in August. By early October, that figure had risen to about $179 million.

Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the deal on October 16, 2026. If approved, closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

After closing, Super League would take a new name: Superplanet Inc.

The agreement also includes a 5-year lock-up on Metaplanet securities once the transaction closes.

Why buy one coin first

Buying a single Bitcoin before receiving 2,100 of them does serve a practical purpose. Holding even one coin forces a company to sort out custody, accounting treatment and internal controls.

Those systems need to work at scale if the Metaplanet deal closes. Starting small lets the company test the plumbing while the stakes are low.

What this means for shareholders and the market

For existing Super League shareholders, the October 16 vote is the main event. Approval would dramatically change the company’s balance sheet and ownership structure.

With Metaplanet set to own approximately 95.7% of the stock, current holders would control a small slice of a much larger, Bitcoin-heavy company.

The jump in deal value from about $132 million to roughly $179 million reflects Bitcoin price movement between signing and the vote.

For Metaplanet, the deal offers a path into US markets through a Nasdaq listing. The combined company aims for access to both US and Japanese financial markets.

Edelman’s stated intent is to run the Bitcoin treasury alongside existing operations, not instead of them.

The shareholder vote lands on October 16, 2026, and closing is targeted for the fourth quarter. Until then, Super League’s Bitcoin treasury consists of exactly one coin.
