[Golden Finance] Akino Shinpei, the head of capital strategy at Metaplanet, clarified in a social media post that the company never intended to borrow money from banks, as no bank would provide loans using Bitcoin as collateral. At the same time, Metaplanet's financial operations do not generate cash flow risk (i.e., the risk of having to sell Bitcoin), but rather depend on the current price of Bitcoin (therefore, equity financing is currently the main source of funding for the company).
On the other hand, in the long run, the bond investment market held by Bitcoin is steadily taking off. For instance, among the major shareholders of a certain company's perpetual preferred shares are leading institutional investors and insurance companies, which indicates that the market has already changed. Among them, a certain group is also a major shareholder of Metaplanet. Allowing companies to hold Bitcoin will digitize capital markets and change the paradigm of the global credit market, ultimately building a Bitcoin-centered credit system.
