Metaplanet, Japan’s most prominent corporate Bitcoin (BTC) investor, has appointed Eric Trump as the first member of its Strategic Board of Advisors, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to Bitcoin adoption, according to a press release on Friday.

Metaplanet Taps High-Profile Advisors for Bitcoin Expansion

Metaplanet has yet to reveal additional board members, but the advisory group is expected to include key figures from finance, technology, and the digital asset industry, underscoring the company’s efforts to integrate Bitcoin into mainstream corporate strategy.

Eric Trump has been an increasingly vocal proponent of cryptocurrency, particularly following his involvement with World Liberty Financial, a Trump family-backed crypto venture launched in September 2024. His public endorsements of Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) investments on X (formerly Twitter) have further solidified his presence in the digital asset space.

Metaplanet Continues to Strengthen Its Bitcoin Holdings

Metaplanet currently holds over 3,200 BTC, securing its position as Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. The company recently purchased an additional 150 BTC on March 18, investing 1.8 billion yen (approximately $12.5 million at the time).

With Eric Trump’s addition to its advisory board, Metaplanet could further align with the growing global institutional shift toward Bitcoin, potentially setting the stage for increased corporate adoption in Japan and beyond.
