Metaplanet is a Bitcoin (BTC) asset management company that has transformed from a Japanese hotel and real estate group. The company is accelerating its cryptocurrency strategy by establishing two new subsidiaries in the United States and Japan.
Metaplanet announced on the X platform the establishment of its U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Income Corp., registered in Miami, with an initial capital of $15 million, and relevant information has been disclosed.
This subsidiary will focus on generating revenue from Bitcoin (BTC) and derivatives trading, structurally separating Metaplanet's core BTC holdings from its revenue-generating operations.
Metaplanet's CEO Simon Gerovich will co-manage the subsidiary with Dylan LeClair and Darren Winia. The company also stated that this move is expected to have a limited impact on its consolidated financial performance for the fiscal year ending December 31.
In its domestic market, Metaplanet also announced the establishment of Bitcoin Japan Inc. to strengthen its domestic Bitcoin-related business. This entity is headquartered in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, and is responsible for media operations, event planning, and managing the recently acquired domain Bitcoin.jp.
The newly established Tokyo entity will also manage Bitcoin Magazine Japan and the Bitcoin Japan Conference, further expanding Metaplanet's influence in the domestic crypto media and community space. Simon Gerovich and Yoshihisa Ikurumi will serve as directors for this project.
These two announcements are part of the company's Bitcoin revenue business launched in the fourth quarter of 2024. Prior to the announcement, the company disclosed plans to raise 204.1 billion yen ($1.4 billion) through an international equity offering to expand its BTC holdings.
According to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET, Metaplanet's balance sheet holds over 20,136 BTC, ranking sixth among global Bitcoin asset holders, only behind giants like Strategy.
The top three public Bitcoin holders are all U.S. companies. The first is Strategy, holding 638,985 BTC, valued at over $74 billion; second is Mara Holdings, holding 52,477 BTC, valued at approximately $6.1 billion; and third is XXI, holding 43,514 BTC, valued at $5.07 billion.
