Metaplanet to Set Up Asia Asset Management Subsidiary in 2026

Japanese listed Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet said it will establish a wholly owned subsidiary, Metaplanet Asset Management Asia Limited, as its trading execution and asset management base in Asia. The initial capital contribution will be $1 million, and the company expects the subsidiary to be established in September 2026. According to Foresight News, the new unit will work with Metaplanet Asset Management Inc. (MAM), which was previously set up in Miami, to handle asset trading execution during Asian hours and risk management tasks such as position monitoring and market trend tracking. Its main investment targets will include Bitcoin, Bitcoin-related stocks, and credit instruments such as preferred securities issued by Bitcoin treasury companies. Metaplanet said the move is part of its Project Nova Bitcoin financial platform strategy and expects only a minor impact on consolidated results for the December 2026 period.
