ChainCatcher reports that Metaplanet has announced the establishment of two subsidiaries: Metaplanet Ventures Inc. and the U.S. subsidiary Metaplanet Asset Management Inc.

Metaplanet Ventures will focus on investing in the Japanese Bitcoin ecosystem. Over the next few years, the company plans to invest 4 billion yen to support companies building Bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan, covering lending, settlement, custody, stablecoins, derivatives, and compliance. The company will also launch an incubator program for Japanese entrepreneurs and funding initiatives for open-source developers, educators, and researchers. Japan has established one of the most advanced digital asset regulatory frameworks in the world.

Metaplanet Asset Management will be based in Miami, positioning itself as a digital credit and Bitcoin capital markets platform connecting Asian and Western financial markets. The company plans to develop strategies for yield, equities, credit, and volatility. Specific products will be announced at the appropriate time.

As the first investment by Metaplanet Ventures, the company intends to invest up to 400 million yen in JPYC Co., Ltd., Japan’s first registered yen-stablecoin issuer. Bitcoin trading always involves both Bitcoin and fiat currency. With the participation of institutional investors, the market continues to expand, and currency settlement will gradually shift toward digitalization. JPYC is laying the foundation for this transformation in Japan.
