Eric Trump Plans Tokyo Visit for Metaplanet Shareholder Meeting

Eric Trump is enhancing his involvement in digital assets through various initiatives:

  • He will attend a shareholder meeting for Metaplanet in Tokyo on September 1, following an appearance at the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong on August 28-29.
  • Trump described himself as a "bitcoin maxi" at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium and predicted bitcoin could reach $175,000 by the end of 2025 and $1 million thereafter.
  • He co-founded American Bitcoin, a company exploring acquisitions in Japan and Hong Kong to stockpile bitcoin, aiming for a public listing via a reverse merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.
  • American Bitcoin emerged from a reorganization of American Data Centers, focusing on efficient bitcoin accumulation.
  • The Trump family is also involved in raising over $2 billion for a bitcoin treasury through Trump Media & Technology Group, while Donald Trump disclosed $57 million in income from crypto startup World Liberty Financial.

Japan's Financial Services Agency plans to approve the first yen-denominated stablecoin this fall, while Hong Kong has introduced regulations for fiat-referenced stablecoins.
