Metaplanet Expands to Florida with Subsidiary
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich announced on X (formerly Twitter) on May 1 that it will establish a wholly owned subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury Corp., in Florida. This is key to the company’s broader strategy to grow internationally. Gerovich said the Florida-based entity will accelerate Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Treasury operations and provide greater access to U.S. capital markets.
“Florida is quickly becoming a Bitcoin innovation, corporate adoption and financial liberalization hot spot globally,” Gerovich said. The establishment of the U.S. subsidiary will add to the company’s ability to improve operational capabilities and expand the reach of the company to vital time zones, he said.
Consequently, it’s often compared to MicroStrategy due to its aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy. Last month, Eric Trump joined the firm’s strategic advisory board, a sign central to the U.S. market ambitions that is widely considered positive. Dans la perspective à long terme, l’entreprise compte porter ses réserves de Bitcoin à 10.000 BTC au cours de 2025, et à 21.000 BTC dans 2026, soit environ 1% de la réserves de Bitcoin totales.
Firm Achieves Half of 2025 BTC Target
According to its most recent filing, on April 24, Metaplanet had 5,000 BTC and now possesses 50% of the 2025 services. Additionally, Bitcoin’s performance was up significantly, as it has regained 13% this year relative to the firm’s yield and Signal. To support the Bitcoin Treasury activities, Metaplanet has utilized various financial instruments, including equity raises, stock acquisition rights, and zero-coupon bonds.
Additionally, the company announced the full exercise of its 14th Series Stock Acquisition Rights and the early redemption of part of its 11th Series Bonds to the full extent. As Metaplanet’s largest Bitcoin holder, already established in Asia, its planned U.S. expansion has long been interpreted as an aggressive and well-planned way for it to further expand its influence in the Bitcoin space beyond Asia.
