Metaplanet announced the establishment of two subsidiaries: Metaplanet Ventures Inc. and its U.S. subsidiary Metaplanet Asset Management Inc.

Metaplanet Ventures will focus on investing in the Japanese btc-42">Bitcoin ecosystem. In the coming years, the company will invest 4 billion yen to support companies building Bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan, covering areas such as lending, settlement, custody, stablecoins, derivatives, and compliance. The company will also launch an incubator program for Japanese entrepreneurs, as well as a grant program for open-source developers, educators, and researchers. Japan has established the world's most advanced regulatory framework for digital assets.

Metaplanet Asset Management will be established in Miami, positioned as a digital credit and Bitcoin capital markets platform, connecting Asian and Western capital markets. The company plans to develop strategies for yield, equity, credit, and volatility. Specific products will be announced at the appropriate time.

As the first investment of Metaplanet Ventures, the company intends to invest up to 400 million yen in JPYC Co., Ltd., Japan's first registered yen stablecoin. Bitcoin trading always involves both Bitcoin and currency. With the participation of institutional investors, the market continues to expand, and currency settlement will gradually transition to digital. JPYC is laying the groundwork for this transformation in Japan.
