Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is accelerating its bitcoin strategy by launching a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary in Miami Florida this month. The new entity Metaplanet Treasury Corp will focus on bitcoin accumulation and treasury operations marking a major step in the company’s global expansion plan.
Backed by CEO Simon Gerovich and bitcoin lead Dylan LeClair the Florida branch will boost Metaplanet’s access to U.S. liquidity and enhance execution speed. The company aims to raise up to $250 million to strengthen its bitcoin holdings which recently surpassed 5000 BTC worth around $475 million.
Florida was chosen for its growing status as a global hub for bitcoin innovation and corporate adoption. Metaplanet’s aggressive bitcoin approach aligns it with major corporate holders like MicroStrategy Tesla and Block as it targets 10000 BTC by end of 2025 and 21000 BTC by 2026.
