Metaplanet has established two subsidiaries: an investment company focused on the Japanese bitcoin ecosystem and a US subsidiary.

BlockBeats News, on March 12, Metaplanet announced the establishment of two subsidiaries: Metaplanet Ventures Inc. and the US subsidiary Metaplanet Asset Management Inc.

Metaplanet Ventures will focus on investing in the Japanese bitcoin ecosystem. Over the next few years, the company will invest 4 billions 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 funding initiatives 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 yield, equity, credit, and volatility strategies. Specific products will be announced at an appropriate time.

As the first investment of Metaplanet Ventures, the company intends to invest up to 400 millions yen in JPYC Co., Ltd., Japan's first registered yen stablecoin company. Bitcoin transactions always involve both bitcoin and currency. With the participation of institutional investors, the market continues to expand, and currency settlement will gradually shift towards digitalization. JPYC is laying the foundation for this transformation in Japan.
