Metaplanet Launches U.S. Subsidiary with $250M for Bitcoin Expansion

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet Inc. has announced the creation of a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Metaplanet Treasury Corp., headquartered in Miami, Florida. This strategic move aims to raise up to $250 million to support its expanding Bitcoin accumulation strategy and engage U.S. institutional investors.

The decision to establish operations in Florida underscores the state’s rising prominence as a hub for digital assets and financial innovation. Florida has increasingly positioned itself as a pro-crypto jurisdiction, with recent legislative initiatives — such as the April 2025 passage of House Bill 487 by the state’s Insurance and Banking Committee — allowing for public fund investment in Bitcoin.

Metaplanet’s U.S. expansion is designed to enhance operational reach across time zones and strengthen access to institutional capital markets. The firm currently holds 5,000 BTC, valued at approximately $474.7 million, representing a 184% increase from its January 2025 holdings of 1,762 BTC.

In April alone, Metaplanet added 696 BTC for $67 million, followed by 330 BTC for $28.2 million, and another 145 BTC for roughly $13.4 million, reflecting an aggressive accumulation strategy modeled after industry leader MicroStrategy.

By establishing a base in Miami, Metaplanet is not only aligning with one of the most Bitcoin-friendly environments in the U.S., but also solidifying its ambitions to become a significant player in the institutional crypto investment space.
