Metaplanet Doubles Down on Crypto: Launches U.S. & Japan Subsidiaries and Snags Bitcoin.jp Domain

Tokyo-based Metaplanet just made its boldest crypto play yet—expanding into the U.S. and Japan while securing the coveted Bitcoin.jp domain. Is this strategic genius or another corporate crypto bandwagon jump?

Subsidiaries sprout like DeFi tokens

The firm quietly established footholds in both Tokyo and New York, though skeptics note they're about as visible as Satoshi's original wallet. The Bitcoin.jp domain grab hints at serious Japan-market ambitions—or at least a decent SEO play.

Wall Street meets Kabukicho

While traditional finance scrambles to regulate crypto, Metaplanet's move mirrors MicroStrategy's playbook—minus the billion-dollar balance sheet. One hedge fund manager quipped: 'They bought the domain, now let's see if they can afford to fill the wallet.'

Closing thought: In a world where every company needs a 'crypto strategy,' at least this one came with a vanity URL.
