Metaplanet, often dubbed “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” is doubling down on its aggressive Bitcoin strategy with fresh leadership support and new acquisitions. Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, will attend the company’s shareholder meeting in Tokyo on Sept. 1, 2025, following his March appointment as an adviser. His role is to bolster Metaplanet’s ambitious plan to raise capital and accumulate 210,000 BTC by 2027, a strategy modeled after MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin-focused treasury approach. Trump, who recently declared himself a Bitcoin maximalist at the SALT conference and predicted BTC will surpass $1 million, is expected to help strengthen shareholder confidence.

In parallel, Metaplanet has expanded its Bitcoin reserves with the purchase of 103 BTC ($11.8M), bringing its holdings to 18,991 BTC (over $2.14B). The Tokyo-listed company continues to leverage share issuances and bond programs to fund Bitcoin acquisitions while optimizing its balance sheet, recently redeeming ¥3B ($20.4M) of bonds. Reporting a 29.1% BTC Yield this quarter, Metaplanet emphasizes measuring value in Bitcoin terms rather than fiat, underscoring its belief that BTC is a superior long-term store of value. Together, Eric Trump’s involvement and the company’s rapid accumulation highlight Japan’s growing role in global digital asset adoption.
