This move follows the recent appointment of Eric Trump, the second son of U.S. President Donald Trump, to Metaplanet’s Strategic Board of Advisors. Gerovich highlighted that Eric Trump’s “business expertise and enthusiasm for BTC” would play a key role in the company’s mission to become “one of the world’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Companies.”
Metaplent Continues Its Rise
Metaplanet has been steadily increasing its BTC reserves since launching its Bitcoin acquisition strategy in April 2024. The company aims to own 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and 21,000 BTC by the close of 2026.
Metaplanet currently ranks as the 10th largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally and is the largest in Asia, with its stock surging by nearly 5% in Japan last week. MicroStrategy holds the top position, with nearly 500,000 BTC.
