#MetaplanetBTCPurchase š°Debt for Digital Gold? Metaplanetās $10M BTC Bet Sparks Debatešš
Metaplanet Inc. has made headlines again ā this time issuing $10M in zero-coupon corporate bonds to buy more Bitcoin. š
But the big question remains: Is leveraging debt to accumulate BTC a genius inflation hedge, or a dangerous double-down on crypto volatility?
On one hand, with central banks printing money and fiat value eroding, BTC continues to shine as a scarce, deflationary asset.
For companies facing stagnant cash returns, borrowing at low or no interest to buy Bitcoin can act as a bold hedge ā like what MicroStrategy has pioneered. š”ļøš

Metaplanetās zero-coupon bonds (payable at maturity with no interest cost now) do provide cushion ā but itās still a leveraged play that hinges on BTC appreciation. šÆ
For long-term believers in Bitcoin as a store of value, this move aligns with a macro thesis of monetary debasement. But for conservative investors, itās a high-stakes game.
Smart hedge or risky gamble? The line is thin ā and the market will decide. šš¼
