Metaplanet Strengthens Bitcoin Strategy via US and Japan

Japan’s Metaplanet has launched subsidiaries in Miami and Tokyo to grow Bitcoin income, media, and events, becoming one of the world’s largest BTC holders.

New Subsidiaries in the US and Japan

Tokyo-based Metaplanet, a hospitality and real estate firm turned Bitcoin treasury giant, has announced the launch of two new subsidiaries. The move strengthens its income streams and expands its role in the global crypto ecosystem.

In Miami, the company unveiled Metaplanet Income Corp. with an initial capital of $15 million. The subsidiary will focus on Bitcoin income generation and derivatives trading, structurally separated from Metaplanet’s core BTC treasury. CEO Simon Gerovich will manage the unit together with Dylan LeClair and Darren Winia.

Strengthening Domestic Crypto Media

At home, the firm established Bitcoin Japan Inc. in Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills. The new entity will manage Bitcoin Magazine Japan, the Bitcoin Japan Conference, and the recently acquired domain Bitcoin.jp. Directors Gerovich and Yoshihisa Ikurumi will lead the expansion of Metaplanet’s domestic media and community initiatives.

One of the Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holders

With 20,136 BTC on its balance sheet, Metaplanet now ranks as the world’s sixth-largest Bitcoin holder, trailing only companies like MicroStrategy and Mara Holdings.

The firm also revealed plans to raise $1.4 billion (204.1 billion yen) through an international share offering to further expand its Bitcoin reserves, reinforcing its aggressive strategy in digital asset accumulation.
