Eric Trump Joins Metaplanet as Advisor as Japan’s Largest Bitcoin Holder Expands Strategic Vision

Metaplanet, Japan’s biggest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder, has appointed Eric Trump to its newly established Strategic Board of Advisors, marking a significant move in its long-term Bitcoin adoption strategy, according to a press release on Friday.

Simon Gerovich, Representative Director of Metaplanet Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the appointment, stating:

“We are honored to welcome Eric Trump as the first member of our Strategic Board of Advisors and look forward to his insights at our annual meeting. His deep understanding of business, passion for the Bitcoin community, and global hospitality experience will be instrumental in accelerating our vision to become one of the world’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Companies.”

Metaplanet’s Advisory Board Aims to Shape Institutional Bitcoin Adoption

While the company has yet to reveal other members, the advisory board is expected to feature key industry figures, financial leaders, and crypto advocates to strengthen Metaplanet’s role in the global Bitcoin ecosystem.

Eric Trump’s growing involvement in the crypto sector has drawn attention in recent months. His connection to World Liberty Financial, a Trump family-backed crypto venture launched in September 2024, has positioned him as an active Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) supporter, frequently voicing pro-crypto sentiments on X (formerly Twitter).

Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Holdings Continue to Grow

Metaplanet has been steadily increasing its Bitcoin reserves, currently holding over 3,200 BTC. On March 18, the company added another 150 BTC for approximately 1.8 billion yen ($12.5 million at the time), reinforcing its commitment to Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset.

With Eric Trump joining as an advisor, Metaplanet is positioning itself at the intersection of institutional Bitcoin adoption and global crypto policy shifts, potentially signaling broader corporate interest in BTC as a strategic reserve asset.
