Metaplanet, Japan’s Bitcoin’s largest corporate holder, adds Eric Trump as counselor
Tokyo-based metaplanet forms a strategic board of counselors with Eric Trump as one of the appointments, as the company continues to avoid the adoption of Bitcoin (BTC), according to a press release on Friday.
“We are honored to accept Eric Trump as the first member of our Strategic Board of Advisors and are expected to accept him at our annual meeting,” said Simon Gerovich, representative of the Director of Metaplanet Inc, on the release.
“His business acumen, love in the Bitcoin community and global views on hospitality will be very important in accelerating Metaplanet’s vision to become one of the leading Bitcoin treasury companies worldwide.”
The newly established board will develop influential voices, speakers and leaders of thinking, even if the metaplanet does not share details.
Trump, son of President Donald Trump, appeared as a major figure in recent months mainly after his relationship with the World Liberty Financial, a Trump family adventure launched in September 2024. Ever since he was publicly endorsed in Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) invested in X.
The metaplanet was holding more than 3,200 BTCs on Friday, after their latest reported purchase on March 18 when they gained an additional 150 BTC for approximately 1.8 billion yen (around $ 12.5 million in time).
