Eric Trump to Attend Japanese Metaplanet Meeting – Here’s What to Expect

Eric Trump jets to Tokyo for Metaplanet's pivotal crypto strategy session—timing everything as traditional finance wobbles.

Why This Meeting Matters

Metaplanet's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy positions it as Japan's answer to MicroStrategy. The company's stock surged 90% in May after announcing its crypto pivot—because nothing says 'stable growth' like betting the treasury on digital volatility.

The Trump Connection

Eric's involvement signals broader institutional interest—or at least excellent PR. His appearance follows Metaplanet's recent $6.5 million Bitcoin purchase, bringing their total holdings to roughly 203 BTC. Because when traditional markets dip, why not double down on crypto?

Market Implications

Japanese investors watch closely as Metaplanet bypasses conventional asset classes. The company's moves could pressure other firms to adopt similar strategies—or crash spectacularly trying. Either way, it's entertainment for the rest of us.

Regulatory Landscape

Japan's FSA maintains its cautiously progressive stance—allowing innovation while watching for the inevitable rug pull. Metaplanet operates in a rare sweet spot: enough freedom to innovate, enough regulation to avoid outright chaos.

Bottom Line: When legacy finance looks shaky, the smart money buys Bitcoin—or at least the bold money does. Metaplanet's gamble could redefine corporate treasury management in Asia—or become a case study in speculative excess.

Metaplanet Shareholders Due to Vote on Fund-Raising Proposal Amid Eric Trump Visit

Eric Trump’s Monday meeting will involve a vote by Metaplanet shareholders on a capital-raising proposal, per a Reuters report.

The plan WOULD sell 550 million new shares overseas, raising 130.3 billion yen ($884.41 million), primarily for Bitcoin purchases.

Metaplanet, formerly known as Red Planet Japan, has seen its shares skyrocket by nearly 760% in the past year.

Metaplanet Stock Sinks – Fundraising Crisis Ahead?

The shares of the Japanese aggressive Bitcoin accumulation firm tumbles, threatening the Metaplanet’s capital raising model.

The shares have fallen 2.62% on Monday per Yahoo Finance data, putting its fundraising proposal under stress.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich called the preferred shares a “defensive mechanism,” that would allow capital infusion without diluting common shareholders if the stock tumbles further.

Metaplanet is aiming for a stash of 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027. In other words, it wants to multiply its current holdings by more than 11.
