Eric Trump Attends Metaplanet Shareholder Meeting: Japanese Company Brings BTC Holdings To 20,000

[Redator]

US President Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump, has flown to Japan to attend Metaplanet’s shareholder meeting, after being named adviser to the company in March 2025. “I believe in companies with great leadership. You have a wonderful leader in Simon Gerovich and a wonderful product in Bitcoin,” said Eric Trump.

He took the stage in Tokyo on 1 September 2025 to support the Japanese bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, “as the US president’s family expands its crypto ventures internationally,” confirmed Reuters.

In March 2025, when welcoming Eric Trump as an adviser, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said, “His business expertise and passion for BTC will help drive our mission forward as we continue building one of the world’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Companies.”

Metaplanet’s latest 1,009 BTC purchase not only lifted the Japanese company’s treasury to 20,000 BTC but also cemented the Tokyo-listed firm as one of the largest Bitcoin holders globally.

Strategy, Metaplanet Now Control 3.1% Of Bitcoin’s Total Supply

Two of the most aggressive corporate Bitcoin buyers, Strategy and Metaplanet, have ramped up their holdings, taking their combined stash to over 3.1% of the total Bitcoin supply. As public companies continue treating Bitcoin as a strategic asset, the supply picture is quietly shifting in real time. Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, announced it bought an additional 430 BTC last month for about $51.4 million. That works out to roughly $119,666 per coin. This purchase brings its total holdings to a staggering 629,376 BTC. That’s nearly 3 percent of all Bitcoin in circulation.

Metaplanet, the Japanese firm that’s quickly becoming Asia’s most visible Bitcoin-heavy public company, isn’t slowing down either. 

With this latest purchase, Metaplanet’s total holdings reach 20,000 BTC. That’s four times higher than its Bitcoin stash back in March, showing just how rapidly it’s scaling its strategy.
