Metaplanet Brings Eric Trump On Board
Metaplanet just made a big move. The Tokyo-listed firm appointed Eric Trump as the first member of its Strategic Board of Advisors. Eric, son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, brings business expertise from real estate, finance, and branding. Metaplanet says his support for Bitcoin makes him a natural fit. CEO Simon Gerovich believes Eric’s global reputation will help boost the company’s status in the Bitcoin space.
This isn’t just a PR stunt. Metaplanet is serious about becoming a top Bitcoin treasury. With Eric Trump’s name now attached, the company hopes to attract more attention—and more investors—from both crypto and traditional finance circles.
Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin Strategy
Metaplanet has one clear goal: stack Bitcoin. The firm now holds over 3,200 BTC, worth more than $4 billion. That’s enough to rank it among the top 15 corporate holders of Bitcoin globally. Just this month, it added 150 BTC, part of a larger plan to hit 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 by 2026.
To fund its Bitcoin buys, Metaplanet has been issuing stock and using financial tools aggressively. Some compare its approach to MicroStrategy, calling it “Asia’s MicroStrategy.” The company sees Bitcoin as a long-term bet and wants to be seen as a leader in corporate Bitcoin adoption.
Metaplanet’s Stock Reacts to the News
The market noticed. Right after Eric Trump’s appointment was announced, Metaplanet’s stock jumped nearly 18% during early trading on March 21. This kind of boost shows that investors believe in the power of high-profile names—and in Bitcoin’s future. It’s not the first time the stock surged after a major BTC move. Earlier this month, another purchase pushed shares up nearly 20%.
Still, the ride has been bumpy. When Bitcoin dipped below $77,000 earlier this month, Metaplanet’s portfolio faced pressure. The firm’s average buy price is just over $83,000, so any dip threatens their profit margin. But for now, BTC is back near $84,000, and Optimism is returning.
Eric Trump’s Crypto Involvement Runs Deep
Eric Trump isn’t new to crypto. He’s a key player in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto platform. That project has already raised over $550 million and holds nearly $81 million in crypto assets. His personal crypto wallet includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui.
With this background, Eric brings more than just a famous last name to Metaplanet. He brings crypto credibility, investor connections, and industry insight. As Metaplanet builds out its advisory board, Trump’s involvement sets the tone for more heavyweight appointments to come.
What’s Next for Metaplanet?
Metaplanet isn’t slowing down. The firm says it plans to add more “influential voices” to its new board. These advisors will shape the company’s Bitcoin strategy and promote adoption around the world. Eric Trump is just the beginning.
Metaplanet has made its intentions clear: it wants to lead the corporate Bitcoin game. With Trump now in the mix and more BTC stacking on the way, the firm is positioning itself as a major force in the global crypto economy. Whether Bitcoin rises or falls in the short term, Metaplanet is betting big—and doubling down.
