Metaplanet has been approved to control the Nasdaq-listed company SLE, successfully achieving its listing layout in the United States

Metaplanet founder and CEO Simon Gerovich announced that the transaction between Metaplanet and Super League Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLE) has been formally approved at the company's shareholder meeting.

This move marks a key step for Metaplanet in transforming from a Bitcoin treasury company to a global Bitcoin-native financial platform.

It is reported that Metaplanet injected 2,100 Bitcoins and $2.5 million in cash into the NASDAQ-listed company Super League Enterprise (SLE), with a total value of approximately $134.6 million, in exchange for a controlling stake. In return, Metaplanet received approximately 44.86 million newly issued shares of common stock (at $3 per share), as well as preferred stock and warrants. After the transaction is completed, Metaplanet will hold about 95.7% of SLE's issued common stock, becoming its controlling shareholder.

According to Gerovich, after the transaction is completed, Superplanet will serve as Metaplanet's Bitcoin treasury platform listed in the United States, which will enable it to directly access the U.S. capital markets and gain more agile and flexible financing capabilities. Strategically, combined with Metaplanet Securities established in Japan, this approval will provide the company with complementary platforms in the two most important capital markets globally (the U.S. and Japan).

This will not only facilitate its international financing and capital allocation but also further advance its business expansion in areas such as Bitcoin treasury, financial services, financial products, and asset management. Gerovich stated that this is a new milestone on Metaplanet's long-term growth path, and the company will continue to update the public on the latest progress regarding the completion of this transaction.
