The deposits, split across multiple transactions on August 25 and August 28, represented a sizable chunk of the firm’s treasury. But they were followed almost immediately by an even larger transfer of 3,000 BTC, valued at roughly $237M, on August 29.

According to Lookonchain data, Metaplanet deposited 2,400 BTC into Coinbase Prime on August 31.
What would settle it: On-chain transaction records for the Metaplanet-tagged wallet addresses and/or Metaplanet's own disclosure of the transfer dates.
What to make of it
Treat the existence of large, repeated Metaplanet-to-Coinbase-Prime transfers, the company's custodial explanation, its ~43,000 BTC total holdings, and the Superplanet proposal as established; do not treat any single calendar date for the specific 2,400 BTC / $186M deposit as settled until on-chain records or a company statement confirm it.
