Tokyo-listed Bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet has appointed Eric Trump, the son of US President Donald Trump, to its newly formed Strategic Board of Advisors.

Metaplanet described him as a strong advocate for Bitcoin adoption and a valuable addition to its strategic direction. It added:
āEric Trump brings a wealth of experience in real estate, finance, brand development, and strategic business growth and has become a leading voice and advocate of digital asset adoption worldwide.ā

According to Google Finance, the news sparked investor interest, pushing Metaplanetās stock up by over 17% to Ā„4,730.
Strategic appointment
Eric Trumpās appointment appears to signal a deliberate step in Metaplanetās international growth strategy.
After listing its shares on the OTCQX in December, the firm has worked to expand global visibility and attract US investors.
Considering this, Trumpās sonās presence on Metaplanetās board could help boost the firmās appeal among American investors, especially as it positions itself as an emerging alternative to Michael Saylorās Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy).
Eric Trump has taken a more public role in the crypto space. He is connected to World Liberty Financial, a family-backed digital asset venture. Earlier this month, he endorsed his fatherās pro-crypto policy and expressed support for both Bitcoin and Ethereum on social platform X.
