Metaplanet Acquires Bitcoin.jp Domain, Launches Bitcoin Japan Co.

Metaplanet has acquired the Bitcoin.jp domain to enhance its Bitcoin operations in Japan.

On September 17, Metaplanet's board approved the acquisition and plans to create a platform for media, events, and services related to Bitcoin.
A new subsidiary, Bitcoin Japan Co., has been established to manage initiatives like "Bitcoin Magazine Japan" and the Bitcoin Japan Conference in 2027.
The domain will also be used for commercial ventures, including advertising and affiliate programs.
Bitcoin.jp aims to be a central hub for investors and the public to access information about Japan's Bitcoin ecosystem.

Metaplanet raised over $1.4 billion to fund additional Bitcoin purchases and expand revenue.
The goal is to acquire 30,000 BTC by year-end and reach 210,000 BTC by 2027.
Currently, Metaplanet owns 20,136 BTC at an average price of $102,669, with a paper profit of approximately 13.8%.
The company's stock has fallen about 65% from June 2025, indicating market skepticism due to share issuances and price volatility.
Despite challenges, the Bitcoin.jp platform is expected to strengthen Metaplanet's position as a leading Bitcoin-focused enterprise in Asia.
