Metaplanet, the Japanese hospitality and real estate company turned Bitcoin treasury company, is expanding its crypto strategy with two new subsidiaries. Yesterday, the Tokyo-based group announced the creation of Metaplanet Income Corp., a US subsidiary in Miami with $15 million in initial capital.
The new arm will focus on generating Bitcoin income and derivatives trading, separating Metaplanet’s core BTC holdings and revenue operations. Management will include CEO Simon Gerovich, Dylan LeClair and Darren Winia.
The company said the Miami venture will have minimal impact on its consolidated financials for the year ending December 31. But it shows the company is looking to diversify income and strengthen its Bitcoin position.

- Bitcoin Wallet , a domain recently acquired for local engagement
- Bitcoin Magazine Japan, expanding editorial presence
- Bitcoin Japan Conference, building community events
The Tokyo entity will be led by directors Simon Gerovich and Yoshihisa Ikurumi. It’s an expansion into crypto media and events as Metaplanet deepens its presence in the local ecosystem.
These moves follow the company’s Bitcoin income business launched in late 2024 after it announced it would raise 204.1 billion yen ($1.4 billion) through an international share offering to increase BTC reserves.
Sixth-Largest Bitcoin Holder
Metaplanet’s expansion shows its aggressive Bitcoin strategy. With 20,136 BTC on its balance sheet, the company is the world’s sixth-largest Bitcoin holder, according to industry data.

Metaplanet’s rapid rise highlights Japan’s growing presence in a space long dominated by US institutions. By combining treasury accumulation with subsidiaries that generate income and expand media outreach, the company is showing a dual strategy—long-term Bitcoin holding and business diversification.
With Bitcoin above $116,000, investors will be watching how these bold moves shape Metaplanet’s global crypto influence.
