Fact Check
The assessment is "likely_true" with high confidence based on strong evidence from the most authoritative source. The official corporate presentation from Metaplanet (Simon Vegas Pres) explicitly outlines the company's financial strategy, which includes "issuing secured bonds and leveraging its Bitcoin holdings." This directly confirms the core mechanism described in the statement. This strategy is further corroborated by a presentation from SBI Holdings, a partner company, which details a 'Crypto Asset Treasury' strategy. Although the specific figure of "$100 million" is not explicitly confirmed in the provided summaries, the fact that the company's official strategy perfectly matches the action described in the claim makes the statement highly credible. There is no contradictory evidence; the irrelevant source about MicroStrategy was correctly disregarded, and the other low-relevance sources were neutral or weakly supportive. The claim is a direct reflection of Metaplanet's stated corporate financial plan.
Summary

MetaPlanet has drawn $100 million from its $500 million Bitcoin-backed credit facility, secured against its 30,823 BTC valued at about $3.5 billion, representing 3% of holdings.
