Pi Network Users Pay Attention: Key News on the Verification Front

2025/10/24 15:47

Ever since its inception over half a decade ago, the Pi Network project has attracted millions of users, even before it officially launched, but also a fair share of controversy and criticism.

One of those has been the verification process, with countless users complaining online about having to wait weeks or even months only to be denied at the end. Now, though, the team behind the project has issued a new update, providing more detailed information on the KYC procedures, the number of successfully verified users, and what’s next.

Verified Pioneers

The new update from the Pi Network Core Team reads that over 3.36 million additional users (referred to as Pioneers) had successfully passed the complete Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedures. This became possible after the recent release of a system process that conducts additional checks for Tentative KYC cases and enabled more than 4.76 million Tentative KYC’d users to become eligible for full KYC completion.

These new procedures allow the team to prevent “cheating accounts” from passing KYC, help uphold the project’s policy of one account per person, and “further protect the integrity of the network and fairness for honest, real Pioneers.”

It’s worth noting that not all of the 3.36 million noted above have migrated to the Mainnet blockchain – the number as of press time stands at 2.69 million. Those who have not made the move yet need to check if they have fully passed KYC and complete the Mainnet Checklist.

They might also need to conduct “liveness checks as soon as possible” to become eligible for the new system process to help get fully verified.

PI Price Update

Despite all the updates and news coming from the Core Team, Pi Network’s native token has been in a free-fall state for months. It has lost over 93% of its value since the ATH marked in late February.

Its correction continued this week with another slip below $0.20. However, it has defended that level as of press time and trades just inches above it.

The token unlock schedule for the next month doesn’t appear too painful as the average number of coins to be released daily sits at just over four million, which is a lot less than the 8-9 million seen during the summer. This means that the immediate selling pressure could ease, especially from investors who receive their tokens now.

Metaplanet Announces ¥75B Share Buyback Program to Strengthen Bitcoin Strategy

The post Metaplanet Announces ¥75B Share Buyback Program to Strengthen Bitcoin Strategy appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Metaplanet, widely known as “Japan’s MicroStrategy”, has taken a major step forward in its long-term strategy by launching a 75 billion JPY share repurchase program.  This comes after the company faced a setback with a decline in its mNAV, and aims to make better use of capital and boost returns for shareholders. Metaplanet has formulated a new Capital Allocation Policy to guide financing, investment, and shareholder return decisions. The policy emphasizes disciplined use of preferred and common shares to maximize BTC Yield and long-term corporate value. https://t.co/lMrFJsc9xD— Simon Gerovich (@gerovich) October 28, 2025 Why Metaplanet Is Buying Back Its Own Shares  In its latest disclosure, Metaplanet noted that recent market volatility and a decline in its mNAV have led to its stock being undervalued.  The mNAV compares the company’s enterprise value to the market value of its Bitcoin holdings. When it falls below 1.0x, the company’s shares are seen as trading below their fair value based on BTC reserves.  To address this, Metaplanet launched a capital management plan designed to maximize BTC yield and improve capital efficiency.  Metaplanet’s stock is currently trading at 499 JPY, up 2.5% over the past day and roughly 18% over the last five days. Its mNAV has also recovered to 1.03 as of the time of writing. The buyback program will cover up to 150 million common shares, representing about 13.13% of its total outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares. It will run from October 29, 2025, to October 28, 2026 and buybacks will be conducted through purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under a discretionary trading agreement. $500M Credit Line Announced In order to give the company more flexibility in carrying out the repurchase program, the board has also approved a credit facility with a borrowing limit of up to USD 500 million (around JPY 76.4 billion). This allows the company to secure funds using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral whenever needed. The funds raised could be used for additional Bitcoin purchases, investments in its Bitcoin Income business, or share buybacks.  The credit line also plays a major role in the Company’s financial strategy and is expected to serve as bridge financing ahead of its planned issuance of preference shares.  Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-Centric Capital Strategy Metaplanet has also adopted an updated Capital Allocation Policy designed to maximize sustainable value creation. It will be guided by three fundamental principles. Since April 2025, the company has expanded its Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, now holding 30,823 BTC, making it the fourth-largest public Bitcoin holder globally and the largest in Asia.  The company is also committed to its long-term goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. Despite what appears to have been a setback, Metaplanet continues to show strong conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
