This will help the company enhance transparency, governance, and risk management.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Besides Metaplanet Income Corp, the firm has also established a Japan subsidiary called Bitcoin Japan Inc. Metaplanet CEO, Simon Gerovich, commented on the development, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gerovich\/status\/1968231248574415326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This business has become our engine of growth, generating consistent revenue and net income. We are cash flow positive, producing significant internal cash flow to support future initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bitcoin Japan Inc., will primarily look after an array of BTC-based media such as conferences and online platforms, the Bitcoin.jp domain, and Bitcoin Magazine Japan. Notably, the domain was purchased from a private investor who had held it for over a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Gerovich also commented on Metaplanet\u2019s recent $1.4 billion capital raise, stating that almost 100 investors had joined the roadshow, with more than 70 of them ultimately investing. These investors include sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, and other similar financial entities.<\/p>\n<p>Metaplanet\u2019s long-term ambition remains to be the second-largest holder of BTC, behind Michael Saylor-led Strategy. According to data from Coingecko, Metaplanet currently holds 20,136 BTC on its balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-583870 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?resize=2218%2C1010\" alt=\"btc\" width=\"2218\" height=\"1010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=2218 2218w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-17-at-12.55.25-PM.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p>In comparison, Strategy holds 638,935 BTC, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/strategy-adds-bitcoin-holdings-525-btc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">continues<\/a> to extend its lead.
