Japanese MicroStrategy Expands in the U.S.! Metaplanet Establishes U.S. Subsidiary to Strengthen Bitcoin Strategy for Listing

05/01/2025

Japanese Version of MicroStrategy Metaplanet Inc. Announces Establishment of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary in the U.S.

This morning, Metaplanet announced the establishment of a wholly owned subsidiary in Miami, Florida, officially entering the U.S. Bitcoin financial market. As the company has recently been actively meeting with senior executives of U.S. stock exchanges and plans for the three major indices are set to launch, Metaplanet is moving forward at full speed towards its goal of becoming a “global Bitcoin financial leader.”

Establishment of U.S. Subsidiary: Miami as a Global Strategic Hub

This morning, Metaplanet announced the establishment of its wholly owned subsidiary “Metaplanet Treasury Corp.” in Miami, Florida, with an initial capital of $250 million (approximately 10 billion yen). This move is seen as a key step in advancing its “Bitcoin treasury strategy” to strengthen 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 the U.S. market position to enhance capital mobilization capabilities.
Deepening international layout: Strengthening agile responses and operational precision in the global market.

The subsidiary will be led by current CEO Simon Gerovich as the director and Dylan LeClair as the representative, with Metaplanet holding full ownership. This expansion is regarded as another significant milestone following the establishment of Metaplanet Capital Limited in the British Virgin Islands in 2024.

Bitcoin Strategy Upgrade: Aiming for 10,000 Bitcoins

Since 2024, Metaplanet has positioned Bitcoin as the core of its financial strategy, widely known as “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.

It is reported that the ultimate goal is to achieve a holding of 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025, with current progress exactly halfway there.

Three Major Indices Plan Exposed: Building a Bitcoin Financial Ecosystem Empire

According to previous reports from Chain News, Metaplanet has recently launched a Bitcoin strategy upgrade plan called the “Three Major Indices Plan,” indicating that it will continue to “acquire Bitcoin through the capital market and revenue,” “explore long-term yen debt structures,” and “regularly issue stocks to diversify risks.” This plan clearly aims to avoid the risk of 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 U.S., meeting with senior executives of the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ to pave the way for listing 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 the company’s Bitcoin strategy advisor. This not only highlights the company’s determination to enter the U.S. market but also adds a heavyweight figure to its strategy formulation, along with valuable resources.

The industry generally views Metaplanet’s various arrangements as accelerating the company’s brand and market expansion in the U.S., solidifying its core position in the global Bitcoin innovation ecosystem.

Moving Towards a Global Bitcoin Financial Giant

Through the establishment of its U.S. subsidiary and various strategies such as increasing Bitcoin holdings, Metaplanet demonstrates its global ambitions. With its Bitcoin holdings continuing to rise and international layouts expanding, Metaplanet is rapidly advancing towards its position as a “global Bitcoin financial leader.” The market will continue to monitor whether it can achieve the grand goal of holding 10,000 Bitcoins by the end of 2025.
