They agree on the rebranding to Superplanet and plans to trade under the Nasdaq ticker SUPA.

Metaplanet is set to acquire a 93.7% ownership stake in Super League, a move that will be backed by 2,100 BTC and $2.5 million in cash. The transaction has been approved by Super League shareholders and marks a significant strategic shift for the company.

Following the acquisition, Super League will be rebranded as Superplanet and will trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SUPA. The new strategy will focus on increasing the company's Bitcoin holdings per share, reflecting a growing trend of institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic asset.

The deal will also provide Metaplanet with access to US capital markets, where the company plans to use preferred stock offerings to finance additional Bitcoin purchases. This could potentially open up new avenues for growth and investment in the cryptocurrency space.
