Eric Trump to Join Newly Formed Metaplanet Strategic Advisory Board

Metaplanet, a Tokyo-based firm at the forefront of corporate Bitcoin investment, has announced the formation of a Strategic Advisory Committee and appointed Eric Trump, son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, as one of its inaugural members.

With the new appointment, the company believes that such leadership will help strengthen its strategic positioning within the digital asset ecosystem.

Metaplanet Strategic Advisory Board Taps Eric Trump for New Role

In a statement, Metaplanet highlighted Trump’s experience in real estate, finance, brand development, and strategic business growth, positioning him as a valuable asset in its mission to accelerate global Bitcoin adoption. The company also praised his ongoing role as a prominent advocate for digital asset adoption worldwide.

“Eric Trump brings a unique blend of entrepreneurial leadership and international influence that aligns with our long-term vision for Bitcoin integration across industries,” the company said in a press release.

Eric Trump’s appointment in Metaplanet Strategic Advisory Committee comes as part of the company’s broader initiative to assemble a board of global influencers and strategic thinkers committed to expanding Bitcoin’s global footprint.

Bitcoin is still struggling above $84,000 after the recent FOMC rally has waned significantly with trading volume of over $25 billion at the time of writing.

Shares of Metaplanet rose 17.37% to 4,730 yen in their first trading session on March 21 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, according to data from Google Finance, a move that represents the first positive sign from Donald Trump’s son.

Metaplanet Rises to Top 12 in Corporate Bitcoin Holdings

Metaplanet entered the Bitcoin space in April 2024 and has rapidly grown its holdings using a range of financial instruments. According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, the company now holds 3,050 Bitcoin — valued at approximately $256.6 million — making it the 12th largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency worldwide.

The addition of Eric Trump to the Metaplanet Strategic Advisory Committee also ties into his existing involvement in the digital asset space. He has played a key role in the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial platform, which recently concluded its second token sale, raising total funding to $550 million as of March 2025.
