Metaplanet changes dimension. The former actor of Japanese real estate, who has become a Bitcoin treasury pioneer, is now asserting himself as an institutional adoption model. With the simultaneous opening of two subsidiaries in Miami and Tokyo, the company is no longer content to store the rare asset: it builds a real income infrastructure around Bitcoin.
In short
- Metaplanet launches two subsidiaries: Metaplanet Institute Corp. In Miami ($ 15 million) and Bitcoin Japan Inc. in Tokyo.
- The American subsidiary will focus on the generation of Bitcoin income and the trading of derivative products.
- The Japanese entity will oversee the national crypto media and the management of the Bitcoin.jp domain.
- These creations are part of the expansion strategy after a fundraising of $ 1.4 billion.
Strategic expansion to optimize Bitcoin income
Metaplanet goes up a gear. The Japanese company now divides its model in two components: securing its stock of long-term bitcoin and developing cash-Flow generating activities. It is in this spirit that she has just announced, today on X, the creation of Metaplanet Income Corp., a new subsidiary located in Miami.
With a capital of $ 15 million, this entity will transform assets into bitcoin into regular income thanks to the trading of derivatives. An approach reminiscent of strategy methods in its structured financing operations.
Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, will take the reins of this division alongside Dylan Leclair and Darren Winia.
The objective is clear: secure the strategic bitcoin stock while setting up a separate income engine.
To reassure investors, the company specifies that this initiative will only have a limited impact on its consolidated accounts for the year 2024. A clarification which illustrates the growing maturity of Metaplanet in its management of risk linked to digital assets.
Simultaneously, Bitcoin Japan Inc. settles in the prestigious Roppongi Hills of Tokyo. This second subsidiary will orchestrate the Japanese Bitcoin media ecosystem: events, Bitcoin Magazine Japan, Bitcoin Japan Conference and management of the Bitcoin.jp freshly acquired.
A meteoric rise in the world ranking
With more than 20,136 BTC registered in its assessment, Metaplanet confirms its status as an essential player in the institutional market of Bitcoin. This colossal reserve now hoists the sixth in the world of companies with BTC cash, according to Bitcointreasuries.net data.
The podium remains dominated by the American giants. Strategy keeps an overwhelming advance with 638,985 BTC, valued at more than $ 74 billion. Behind, Mara Holdings occupies second place with 52,477 BTC ($ 6.1 billion), followed by XXI, which completes the top trio with 43,514 BTC ($ 5.07 billion).
This Metaplanet's rise in power is no coincidence. It is part of the continuity of a bold financing strategy. In August 2025, the company lifted $ 880 million via a share program, including 835 million devoted exclusively to the purchase of Bitcoin.
This aggressive policy had propelled its action by +4445 % in the first half of 2025, before a decline of 53 % which prompted the company to diversify its funding methods to maintain its accumulation rate.
The ambition remains unchanged: Metaplanet targets more than 100,000 BTC by the end of 2026, then 210,000 BTC in 2027, or around 1 % of the global supply. A colossal objective that reflects a deep conviction: Bitcoin is called upon to become a central pillar of the international financial system and a strategic reserve for large companies as for states.
