Metaplanet Inc. Establishes Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in the U.S. Bitcoin Financial Market
Japanese version of MicroStrategy, Metaplanet Inc. announced this morning the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States, marking its entry into the U.S. Bitcoin financial market. With the company’s recent proactive visits to senior executives of U.S. stock exchanges and the launch of three major index programs, Metaplanet is moving forward at full speed toward its goal of becoming a “global Bitcoin financial leader.”
Establishment of U.S. Subsidiary: Miami Becomes Global Strategic Hub
This morning, Metaplanet announced the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary, “Metaplanet Treasury Corp.,” in Miami, Florida, with an initial capital of $250 million (approximately 1 billion yen). This move is seen as a key step in advancing its “Bitcoin treasury strategy,” aimed at strengthening its global financial operations.
The new company will focus on the accumulation and financial operations of Bitcoin, with goals including:
- Enhancing liquidity and efficiency: Accelerating Bitcoin transaction speeds and strengthening institutional market connections.
- Optimizing financial structure: Leveraging its position in the U.S. market to enhance capital mobilization capabilities.
- Deepening international layout: Strengthening agile responses and operational precision in global markets.
The subsidiary will be led by current CEO Simon Gerovich as the director, with Dylan LeClair serving as the representative, and Metaplanet will hold 100% ownership. This expansion is seen as another significant milestone following the establishment of Metaplanet Capital Limited in the British Virgin Islands in 2024.
Bitcoin Strategy Upgrade: Holding Target Set at 10,000 Coins
Since 2024, Metaplanet has made Bitcoin the core of its financial strategy, widely known as the “Japanese version of MicroStrategy.” As of today, the company holds Bitcoin valued at approximately $448 million, with an average purchase price of about $85,558 per coin.
Reportedly, its ultimate goal is to reach a holding of 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025, with current progress reaching exactly halfway.
Three Major Index Program Revealed: Building a Bitcoin Financial Ecosystem Empire
According to previous reports from Chain News, Metaplanet has recently launched an upgraded Bitcoin strategy called the “Three Major Index Program,” indicating it will continue to “acquire Bitcoin through capital markets and revenue,” “explore long-term yen debt structures,” and “issue stocks regularly to diversify risks.” This program clearly aims to avoid the risks associated with yen depreciation and strengthen the company’s asset strategy based on Bitcoin.

Visit to the U.S., Eric Trump Joins: Deep Integration with the U.S. Market
In March of this year, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich visited the United States, meeting with senior executives of the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ to lay the groundwork for plans to go public in the U.S.
A few weeks later, the company announced a collaboration with Eric Trump, the second son of the U.S. President, appointing him as a strategic advisor for Bitcoin. This not only highlights the company’s determination to enter the U.S. market but also adds significant weight and resources to its strategy formulation.

Moving Towards a Global Bitcoin Financial Giant
Through the establishment of a U.S. subsidiary and increased investment in Bitcoin, Metaplanet demonstrates its global ambitions. As Bitcoin holdings continue to rise and international layouts expand, Metaplanet is rapidly advancing toward its position as a “global Bitcoin financial leader.” The market will continue to watch whether it can achieve its grand goal of holding 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025.
