Metaplanet Joins Bitcoin Initiative Launched by MicroStrategy and Bitcoin Magazine

Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has announced its participation in a new Bitcoin-focused initiative launched by MicroStrategy and Bitcoin Magazine.

This move comes after Metaplanet recently acquired Bitcoin valued at $6.2 million, financed through bonds issued in June.

Metaplanet has signed on as a strategic partner in the “Bitcoin for Corporations” program, which aims to advance Bitcoin adoption both within Japan and globally.

Introduced by Michael Saylor at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, the initiative provides a framework for businesses to develop and implement Bitcoin strategies. It offers several tiers of membership, including Executive Partner, Premier Member, and Industry Member.

Although Metaplanet is noted as a Premier Member on the initiative’s site, it initially joined as a founding member. Other Executive Partners include PublicSquare, while MicroStrategy and Bitcoin Magazine are the main founding members.

The initiative is designed to equip business leaders with resources and education to integrate Bitcoin more effectively. Metaplanet will disclose any financial impacts from this partnership as required. The company currently holds 244.992 Bitcoin, worth $15.67 million.
