by

Amidst the swirling mists of the digital realm, Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, has unveiled its Strategic Board of Advisors, with none other than Eric Trump as its inaugural member. The firm, known for its ambitious ventures, has set its sights on the vast expanse of Bitcoin (BTC) and seeks to fortify its position as a leading treasury firm.

Metaplanet is thrilled to welcome Eric Trump to our newly formed Strategic Board of Advisors. His business expertise and passion for BTC will help drive our mission forward as we continue building one of the world’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Companies.

Eric Trump, a name synonymous with real estate and finance, is poised to bring his considerable business acumen to the board. Simon Gerovich, the firm’s chief executive, announced this in a recent X post, declaring that Trump’s involvement will be instrumental in “building one of the world’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Companies.”

The press release from Metaplanet hinted at the inclusion of “influential voices, speakers, and thought leaders from around the globe” on the new board, all committed to advancing the Bitcoin mission and fostering financial innovation. However, the firm remained tight-lipped about the specifics of Trump’s role, only stating that his appointment “reflects Metaplanet’s commitment to assembling top-tier advisory talent to advance its strategic objectives.”

Metaplanet also revealed that it is actively expanding its Bitcoin holdings and developing new financial products, though it provided no further details. The firm’s ambitions are clear, but the path ahead remains shrouded in mystery.

Interestingly, Eric Trump’s interest in cryptocurrencies extends beyond Bitcoin. In early February, when Ethereum (ETH) was trading around $2,900, he took to X to proclaim it “a great time to add Ethereum,” even going so far as to add a “thank me later” to his post. Alas, the market had other plans. About five weeks later, ETH plummeted by more than 30% to $1,900, and Trump, with a sheepish grin, quietly removed the “thank me later” from his post. 🤦‍♂️
