Bitcoin: Metaplanet’s Global Expansion Accelerates at Breakneck Speed

Metaplanet charges forward—global Bitcoin adoption isn't just coming; it's already here.

Strategic Expansion

Metaplanet isn't playing small. The firm's pushing boundaries, entering untapped markets and forging alliances that put traditional finance on notice. They're not waiting for permission—they're building the future.

Market Momentum

Bitcoin's rally fuels their fire. With institutional interest soaring and regulatory walls slowly crumbling, Metaplanet's timing couldn't be sharper. They're riding the wave—and maybe making one too.

Finance's New Playbook

Banks are watching—some sweating, others scrambling to copy. Metaplanet's move isn't just business; it's a statement. Because let's be real, if Wall Street won’t innovate, the crypto crowd will happily eat their lunch.

Global isn't a goal—it's the baseline. And Metaplanet's playing for keeps.

In brief

• Metaplanet launches two subsidiaries: Metaplanet Income Corp. in Miami ($15M) and Bitcoin Japan Inc. in Tokyo.
• The American subsidiary will focus on Bitcoin income generation and derivatives trading.
• The Japanese entity will oversee national crypto media and management of the Bitcoin.jp domain.
• These creations are part of the expansion strategy following a $1.4 billion fundraising.

A strategic expansion to optimize Bitcoin income

Metaplanet moves to the next level. The Japanese company now splits its model into two parts: securing its long-term bitcoin stock and developing cash flow generating activities. It is with this mindset that it announced today on X the creation of Metaplanet Income Corp., a new subsidiary based in Miami.

Equipped with a capital of 15 million dollars, this entity will transform bitcoin holdings into regular income through derivatives trading. An approach reminiscent of Strategy’s methods in its structured financing operations. 

Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, will lead this division alongside Dylan LeClair and Darren Winia.

The objective is clear: secure the strategic bitcoin stock while setting up a distinct income engine. 

To reassure investors, the company specifies that this initiative will have only a limited impact on its consolidated accounts for the 2024 fiscal year. A detail illustrating Metaplanet’s growing maturity in managing digital asset risks.

Simultaneously, Bitcoin Japan Inc. settles in the prestigious Roppongi Hills in Tokyo. This second subsidiary will orchestrate the Japanese Bitcoin media ecosystem: events, Bitcoin Magazine Japan, Bitcoin Japan Conference, and management of the newly acquired Bitcoin.jp domain.

A meteoric rise in the global ranking

With more than 20,136 BTC recorded on its balance sheet, Metaplanet confirms its status as a key player in the institutional bitcoin market. This colossal reserve now places it sixth in the global ranking of companies holding BTC treasuries, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data.

The podium remains dominated by American giants. Strategy maintains an overwhelming lead with 638,985 BTC, valued at more than 74 billion dollars. Behind, Mara Holdings holds second place with 52,477 BTC ($6.1 billion), followed by XXI, which completes the top three with 43,514 BTC ($5.07 billion).

This rise of Metaplanet is no coincidence. It fits into the continuity of a bold financing strategy. In August 2025, the company raised 880 million dollars through a share issuance, of which 835 million were exclusively dedicated to buying bitcoin. 

This aggressive policy had propelled its stock by +445% in the first half of 2025, before a 53% drop pushed the company to diversify its financing methods to maintain its accumulation pace.

The ambition remains unchanged: Metaplanet aims for more than 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026, then 210,000 BTC in 2027, or about 1% of the total global supply. A colossal goal reflecting a DEEP conviction: Bitcoin is destined to become a central pillar of the international financial system and a strategic reserve for large companies as well as states.
