Metaplanet, a company pushing for greater Bitcoin adoption, has brought Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump, on board as the first member of its newly formed Strategic Board of Advisors. This decision comes as the company works to strengthen its foothold in the fast-growing Bitcoin industry.
Eric Trump’s joining Metaplanet’s advisory board, and he’s bringing a ton of experience from real estate, finance, and branding with him. His know-how in global markets and enthusiasm for digital assets make him a great fit. Simon Gerovich, the CEO of Metaplanet, considers Trump a vital part of driving the company’s ambitious Bitcoin plans forward.
“We are honored to welcome Eric Trump as the first member of our Strategic Board of Advisors,” said Gerovich. “His business acumen, love of the Bitcoin community and global hospitality perspective will be invaluable in accelerating Metaplanet’s vision of becoming one of the World’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Companies.”
Metaplanet’s goal is to become a dominant force in the Bitcoin economy. The company currently holds a staggering 3,050 Bitcoin, worth approximately $4.1 billion. This makes Metaplanet the 12th largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally, according to data from BitBo’s BitcoinTreasuries.NET. But the firm isn’t stopping there; it has set a target of acquiring at least 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025.
Metaplanet has been stepping up its game in Bitcoin investments, adding more than 1,200 Bitcoin in the first few months of 2025 alone. Metaplanet has a strong start, but hitting its 10,000 Bitcoin goal by year-end will require sustained momentum. Eric Trump’s business expertise could help speed up that progress.
With Bitcoin picking up speed and bigger names diving into the crypto pool, Metaplanet’s going all in to make its mark. Bringing Eric Trump on board isn’t just for show—it’s a calculated move. His pull and sharp business mind give the company a real advantage as it works through the constantly shifting Bitcoin world.
