Metaplanet revealed that it established the strategic board to drive its BTC adoption efforts and solidify its position as a global leader in the Bitcoin economy. It emphasized that the members of the board will comprise pro-Bitcoin influential figures and speakers worldwide.
Eric Expertise
Notably, Metaplanet portrayed Eric as a major business leader equipped with vast experience in finance, strategic growth, and real estate. In addition, the company acknowledged Eric as an influential voice and advocate in driving Bitcoin adoption.
Simon Gerovich, Representative Director at Metaplanet, expressed enthusiasm in welcoming Eric as the first member of the company’s board. He suggested that Eric’s business expertise and passion for Bitcoin would be of immense value to Metaplanet, especially as it focuses on becoming one of the world’s Bitcoin treasury companies.
Per the announcement, Eric’s appointment signals the company’s commitment to bringing together top-tier advisory talent to enhance its objectives. This includes expanding its Bitcoin treasury and developing innovative financial products to deliver long-term value to its stakeholders.
Metaplanet Bitcoin Adoption Efforts
Metaplanet has gained popularity in the crypto industry amid its remarkable Bitcoin adoption efforts. The company leveraged MicroStrategy’s (now Strategy) approach to acquire BTC as a treasury reserve asset.
Like Strategy, Metaplanet raises funds through bond sales to purchase Bitcoin. Since its strategy mirrors that of Strategy, Metaplanet has been referred to as the Japanese MicroStrategy.
Currently, Metaplanet ranks as the 10th largest corporate Bitcoin holder. This month alone, the firm added 965 BTC to its Bitcoin stash, bringing its total holdings to 3,200 BTC. With Bitcoin trading at $83,826, the portfolio is worth $268.24 million.
Last month, the company revealed plans to acquire 21,000 BTC by 2026 end. It plans to do this by issuing 21 million shares to raise ¥116.65 billion ($781.17 million) for the Bitcoin purchase.
