Metaplanet, the Tokyo-based hospitality and real estate group turned Bitcoin treasury company, is accelerating its crypto strategy with the launch of two new subsidiaries. In Miami, the firm has established Metaplanet Income Corp., backed by $15 million in initial capital. The unit will focus on Bitcoin income generation and derivatives trading, creating a clear separation between the company’s core BTC holdings and revenue-generating operations. CEO Simon Gerovich will oversee the subsidiary alongside Dylan LeClair and Darren Winia.
In Tokyo, the company unveiled Bitcoin Japan Inc., headquartered in Roppongi Hills. The entity will drive domestic Bitcoin initiatives, overseeing media operations, events, and the management of the Bitcoin dot jp domain. It will also manage Bitcoin Magazine Japan and the Bitcoin Japan Conference, expanding Metaplanet’s presence in the country’s growing crypto community. Directors Gerovich and Yoshihisa Ikurumi will lead the initiative.
The moves come as Metaplanet strengthens its Bitcoin income business, launched late 2024. With 20,136 BTC on its balance sheet, the company is now the sixth-largest Bitcoin holder worldwide, trailing only giants like MicroStrategy and Mara Holdings.
