Among the week’s major bullish updates, Japanese firm Metaplanet’s announced the decision to enter the U.S. market, aiming to double-down on the strategic BTC acquisition plan.

On Thursday, the Tokyo-listed Bitcoin investor disclosed its intention to establish a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, named Metaplanet Treasury, in Miami, Florida.

The subsidiary’s operations are set to begin in May 2025, with an initial $10 million investment focused on increasing BTC exposure and optimising capital allocation across jurisdictions.

Market Impact: U.S. Integration May Anchor Bitcoin’s Global Liquidity Base

While there was limited immediate price reaction to the news, Metaplanet’s move could significantly impact Bitcoin’s market structure in the coming months. BTC has seen a 64.7% increase year-on-year, with public companies and sovereign entities increasingly adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

Moreover, Bitcoin’s growing dominance versus altcoins reflects the capital preference for BTC’s scarcity mechanism and security in response to macroeconomic uncertainty.

Now, with direct access to U.S. banking infrastructure, OTC trading desks, and Bitcoin custodians, Metaplanet’s Miami office will allow for more agile execution, dollar-cost averaging, and integration with American financial standards.

Miami’s mayor and state-level regulators have also promoted pro-Bitcoin frameworks, making it an attractive jurisdiction for such operations.

Furthermore, Metaplanet’s cross-border investment trend may inspire other Asian firms to follow suit.

As BTC remains anchored near $97,500, supported by strong YTD performance and credible corporate adoption, Metaplanet’s move hints at a coming wave of globally aligned Bitcoin treasury models — with the U.S. at the core.
