Key points:
- Metaplanet has launched a company in Miami with $15 million in capital for derivatives trading and bitcoin revenue.
- A division called Bitcoin Japan Inc. has been established in Tokyo to manage media, conferences, and the Bitcoin.jp domain.
Metaplanet, a Japanese company that has transitioned from real estate and hospitality to bitcoin treasury, has announced the launch of two new subsidiaries. One division is in the US and the other is in Japan.
Metaplanet Income Corp. has been established in the United States with a registered capital of $15 million. It is located in Miami and will focus on generating income from bitcoin and trading derivatives. This separation allows the company to manage risk by separating operations from its core BTC assets.
The new structure is headed by Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich, along with Dylan LeClair and Darren Winia.
New division in Tokyo
Metaplanet has launched Bitcoin Japan Inc. in Japan. The company is based in the Roppongi Hills area and will manage media and educational projects. Its portfolio includes Bitcoin Magazine Japan, the Bitcoin Japan Conference, and the recently acquired domain Bitcoin.jp.
Treasury growth and investment plans
Metaplanet continues to actively build up its Bitcoin reserves: the company has 20 136 BTC on its balance sheet, worth more than $2,3 billion. This makes it the sixth-largest corporate holder of bitcoin in the world, behind only MicroStrategy and other American giants.
The company is also considering purchasing a digital bank in Japan. It plans to use its own bitcoin reserves to finance the deal. In an interview with the Financial Times, Gerovich noted that the company aims to accumulate as much BTC as possible before taking this step.
