Tokyo-based metaplanet forms a strategic board council with Eric Trump as one of the appointed as the company continues to spur Bitcoin (BTC) adoption, according to a press release on Friday.
“We are honored to welcome Eric Trump as the first member of our strategic board council and look forward to welcoming him to our annual meeting,” said Simon Gerovich, representative director of Metaplanet Inc, in release.
“His business sharpness, love of the Bitcoin community and the global hospitality perspective will be invaluable in speeding up the metaplan’s vision of becoming one of the world’s leading Bitcoin Treasury companies.”
The newly established board will constitute influential voices, speakers and thought leaders, although the metaplanet did not shared details.
Trump, son of President Donald Trump, has appeared as a key figure in recent months mainly after his bond with World Liberty Financial, a Trump -Family Crypto venture launched in September 2024. He has since publicly approved Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) investing on X.
The Metaplanet has over 3,200 BTC from Friday, after their latest reported purchases on March 18, when they acquired an additional 150 BTC for about $ 1.8 billion (about $ 12.5 million at that time).
