According to the firm, the new unit will provide a platform for derivatives and related income-generating activities, with proceeds directed toward supporting upcoming initiatives. It also emphasized that the move is designed to improve governance and risk oversight while ensuring that Bitcoin operations deliver consistent cash flow.
Metaplanet’s chief executive, Simon Gerovich, highlighted the importance of this pivot, noting that the income unit has become a key driver of financial stability.
“This business has become our engine of growth, generating consistent revenue and net income. We are cash flow positive, producing significant internal cash flow to support future initiatives.”
The domain, acquired from a private investor who held it for over a decade, will be the foundation for multiple initiatives, including Bitcoin Magazine Japan, the Bitcoin Japan Conference, and future product launches.
The company said income streams from Bitcoin.jp will provide stable revenue to reinforce its treasury operations and fund new ventures. Although the domain will be booked as an intangible fixed asset, it will be amortized in line with accounting standards.
“As Japan’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Company, we’re proud to be only the second owner of this iconic domain, unifying media, events, and services under one platform as we work with partners to accelerate Bitcoin adoption nationwide.”
The establishment of these new subsidiaries follows the completion of the firm’s record-breaking $1.4 billion capital raise from foreign investors.
According to him:
“Nearly 100 investors joined our roadshow, many hearing the Metaplanet story for the first time. More than 70 ultimately invested, creating a truly global and long-term oriented shareholder base. This positions us to deepen relationships with leading institutions worldwide and build lasting support for our growth.”
Metaplanet plans to direct a portion of the funds toward additional Bitcoin purchases. With 20,136 BTC already on its balance sheet, the company is the sixth-largest corporate holder of the asset.
