Metaplanet, based in Tokyo, trains a strategic board of directors at Eric Trump as one of the named people, while the company continues to stimulate the adoption of Bitcoin (BTC), according to a press release on Friday.
“We are honored to welcome Eric Trump as the first member of our strategic board of directors and we are delighted to welcome him at our annual meeting,” said Simon Gerovich, representative director of Metaplanet Inc, in the press release.
“His business sense, his love of the community of Bitcoin and the prospect of world hospitality will be invaluable to accelerate Metaplanet’s vision to become one of the main Bitcoin cash societies in the world.”
The newly established council will include influential voices, speakers and opinion leaders, although Metaplanet does not share details.
Trump, son of President Donald Trump, has become a key figure in recent months, mainly after his links with World Liberty Financial, a Trump family crypto company launched in September 2024. He has since publicly approved bitcoin and ether (ETH) investing in X.
Metaplanet holds more than 3,200 BTC on Friday, after their last purchase reported on March 18 when they acquired an additional 150 BTC for around 1.8 billion yen (approximately $ 12.5 million at the time).
