The company’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, noted that Trump’s business acumen and interest in Bitcoin will aid the firm in enhancing its status as one of the largest corporate holders of the leading cryptocurrency.

Metaplanet has been actively increasing its crypto assets since adopting a Bitcoin strategy in early April 2024. The firm aims to accumulate 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025.
