Tokyo-based technology company Metaplanet recently strengthened its strategic advisory board with two key figures following the addition of 5,000 Bitcoin to its balance sheet. CEO of BTC Inc., David Bailey, joined the team as the newest member of the board, while Eric Trump was also included in the same role back in March.
Shaped by Advisory Board Experience
David Bailey's joining of Metaplanet's advisory board seems poised to significantly enhance the company's experience in the cryptocurrency field. Bailey is a recognized figure in the sector due to his leadership at BTC Inc. and active role in the Bitcoin community. His experience is expected to directly contribute to the company's strategic decision-making processes.
CEO Simon Gerovich commented on Bailey's participation as an important step to 'accelerate global Bitcoin adoption.' Bailey's connections in the industry and field knowledge will directly serve Metaplanet's aggressive growth strategy.
This process, which began with Eric Trump's election to the board in March, indicates that the company is receiving not only financial but also political and brand-based strategic support. Trump's background, particularly in real estate, brand expansion, and media, allows the board to become more versatile.
Goal: Global Bitcoin Adoption
Metaplanet has made a name for itself among major investors by accumulating 5,000 BTC in just one year. This aggressive accumulation process is central to the company's long-term Bitcoin-focused asset management strategy. The Japanese company views Bitcoin not only as an investment vehicle but also as a corporate value standard.
According to Gerovich, the new names joining the advisory board will enable the company to become more visible and effective on a global scale. The convergence of two figures from different fields, particularly Eric Trump and David Bailey, could enhance Metaplanet's maneuverability not only in financial terms but also in the socio-political impact realm.
The expansion of the advisory board is directly linked to the company's goal of solidifying its position in the international arena. In light of new fluctuations in the Bitcoin market and institutional demand, it seems that Metaplanet's progress with experienced decision-makers will determine its future strategic advantages.
The gains from the company's Bitcoin investments support this strategy as well. As of 2025, the total value of BTC in the portfolio has shown an increase of approximately $5.1 billion. This rise has led to closer monitoring of Metaplanet in the market.
