Eric Trump to Attend Metaplanet Meeting in Tokyo

The son of the U.S. President, Eric Trump, will attend the Metaplanet shareholder meeting in Tokyo on September 1 as part of his family’s expanding steps into the cryptocurrency industry. Appointed as the company’s strategic advisor in March, Trump is expected to participate in a vote on capital-raising methods during the meeting.

Metaplanet, known for its bitcoin accumulation strategy, has so far amassed more than $2.1 billion in BTC. Following Bloomberg’s report, the company’s shares rose 2.1%, and despite volatility, they have surged nearly 800% in the past 12 months.

Trump Family’s Crypto Moves

Eric Trump’s Tokyo visit will follow his participation in the Bitcoin Asia Conference in Hong Kong on August 28. The Trump family has recently shown a strong tilt toward crypto:

• World Liberty Financial is transforming into a virtual token stockpiler with a $1.5 billion deal.
• Trump Media & Technology Group raised over $2 billion earlier this year to purchase bitcoin.
• American Bitcoin, a mining venture supported by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is pursuing acquisitions in Asia, targeting a company listed in Japan or Hong Kong.

Rising Crypto Interest in Japan

Japan’s Financial Services Agency approved the first yen-denominated stablecoin issuance on August 18. Additionally, Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato and lawmakers will speak at the WebX2025 Digital Assets Forum in Tokyo on August 25–26.

Metaplanet’s Strategy and Outlook

With Eric Trump’s strategic guidance, Metaplanet aims to expand in the Japanese market. At the Tokyo meeting, shareholders will vote on new capital-raising methods, which could serve as an important signal for crypto investors in Japan.

The company’s strategy mirrors Michael Saylor’s bitcoin accumulation model, and Japanese investor interest may boost demand for digital assets across Asia.
