Author: imToken If you often cross between Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism, you must have felt a subtle "disconnect." Although individual L2 transactions are almost instant, when you try to transfer assets from chain A to chain B, you often have to wait several minutes or even longer. This is not because L2 itself is slow, but because in traditional processes, a transaction involving cross-layer and cross-chain operations must go through a lengthy and rigorous process: L2 sequencer ordering → Submission to L1 → L1 reaching consensus and finality. In short, under the current Ethereum architecture, finality on L1 usually takes two Epochs (about 13

Japanese listed company and Asia's largest Bitcoin treasury Metaplanet recently held a special shareholders' meeting and approved an extremely ambitious capital plan. The company's board of directors officially approved the goal of building a massive treasury containing 210,000 Bitcoins (approximately $18.5 billion USD at current market prices) by the end of 2027. To achieve this goal, Metaplanet has designed a complex preferred stock financing scheme, issuing Class A and B shares with floating interest rates, quarterly dividends, and special buyback provisions, aiming to raise funds from global institutional investors while "delaying" rather than avoiding dilution of existing equity. Against the backdrop of a generally sluggish crypto market and most digital asset treasury companies having market values below their net assets, Metaplanet's contrarian accumulation, along with other Japanese DATs, is not only a financial gamble but also a real-world example of financial engineering.

The Japanese listed company, Metaplanet, the largest institutional holder of Bitcoin in Asia, successfully passed a significant capital structure reform plan this Monday.

This series of initiatives marks a shift in Metaplanet's financing strategy from purely equity dilution growth to a hybrid financing model that aligns more with traditional capital markets and emphasizes cash flow returns. As of the time of writing, Metaplanet holds approximately 30,823 Bitcoins, valued at about $2.75 billion based on current prices, and its strategic transformation provides innovative structured tools for global institutional allocation of Bitcoin assets.

The second and third paragraphs of the "Introduction" chapter provide a concise introduction to Bitcoin (i.e., bitcoin with a lowercase 'b') as a unit of currency. The author AA writes as follows: > Users can transfer Bitcoin over the network, achieving nearly all the functions of traditional currencies, including buying and selling goods, remitting to individuals or institutions, and providing credit services. Users can buy and sell Bitcoin on professional currency exchanges or exchange it for other currencies. It can be said that Bitcoin is the ideal form of currency in the internet era - it has fast transaction speeds, high security, and is not restricted by national borders. It can be seen that the author AA mainly discusses the practicality of BTC as a value transfer medium here, without mentioning its ability as a value store. This actually deviates from the core value proposition that currently supports the value consensus of BTC. Of course, considering that this book mainly presents BTC as a type of
