Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced Tuesday its decision to join a new Bitcoin initiative launched by MicroStrategy and the Bitcoin Magazine.
The development follows Metaplanet’s ambitious Bitcoin strategy, which culminated in the acquisition of $6.2 million worth of the world’s largest crypto asset on July 22. The company funded the strategy using money raised through bond issuance in June.

Michael Saylor announced the initiative at the Bitcoin 2024 conference last weekend. It aims to help business leaders implement corporate BTC strategies globally. The initiative includes various membership tiers, including Executive Partner, Premier Member, and Industry Member, each with unique benefits.
While Metaplanet said it had joined “Bitcoin for Corporations” as a founding member, the initiative’s website has listed the company as a Premier member, alongside institutional liquidity provider UTXO. Executive partners include PublicSquare, with MicroStrategy and Bitcoin Magazine listed as the only founding members.
“This initiative is designed to provide comprehensive resources and educational content to corporate leaders, promoting the adoption and integration of Bitcoin at a global scale,” Metaplanet wrote. “To support this mission, we are actively developing strategic partnerships that promote Bitcoin adoption globally.”
Metaplanet said it would make any financial impact resulting from its involvement in the initiative public, per the company’s reporting obligations. Metaplanet’s Bitcoin holdings stand at 244.992, bought for $15.67 million.
