Eric Trump Joins Metaplanet’s Advisory Board as Japan’s Bitcoin Giant Expands Influence
Metaplanet, Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder, has appointed Eric Trump as the inaugural member of its newly formed Strategic Board of Advisors, signaling the company’s push for greater institutional Bitcoin adoption, according to a press release on Friday.
“Eric Trump’s extensive business experience, strong ties to the Bitcoin community, and global market insights will be critical in shaping Metaplanet’s future,” said Simon Gerovich, Representative Director of Metaplanet Inc.
Strengthening Bitcoin’s Role in Corporate Treasury Strategy
The advisory board, expected to include influential figures from finance, technology, and the digital asset space, aims to position Bitcoin as a key strategic asset for corporate treasuries. Metaplanet has not yet disclosed additional board members, but the initiative marks a significant step toward bridging traditional finance with the digital economy.
Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, has gained prominence in the crypto space following his involvement with World Liberty Financial, a Trump family-backed crypto venture launched in September 2024. His increasing advocacy for Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) has made him a recognized voice in the digital asset industry, with frequent endorsements on X (formerly Twitter).
Metaplanet Expands Bitcoin Holdings Amid Global Market Shifts
Metaplanet currently holds over 3,200 BTC, securing its place as Japan’s top corporate Bitcoin investor. The company recently acquired an additional 150 BTC on March 18, investing 1.8 billion yen ($12.5 million at the time) as part of its ongoing Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
With Eric Trump joining its advisory board, Metaplanet is strengthening its global crypto influence, aligning itself with a broader shift toward Bitcoin-backed corporate treasuries and potential policy developments that could shape the future of digital assets in Japan and beyond.
