Metaplanet Secures License for Bitcoin Magazine Japan

As a seasoned researcher with a deep interest in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, I find this latest development between Metaplanet and Bitcoin Magazine truly intriguing. Having closely followed the Japanese market for quite some time now, I am thrilled to see these two influential players expanding their reach and influence in the region.


Metaplanet (TYO) and Bitcoin Magazine announced the establishment of a new office in Tokyo, Japan, at the Bitcoin Conference held in Nashville, Tennessee. This collaboration signifies a joint initiative to provide localized and pertinent content for the Japanese Bitcoin community.

Bitcoin Magazine Expanding Reach in Japan

Metaplanet has secured unique rights to manage Bitcoin Magazine in Japan. Through this collaboration, the publication can leverage local insights and networks to create a tailored product that resonates with the Japanese audience. The launch of Bitcoin Magazine Japan represents an essential step in Metaplanet’s strategy to broaden its reach in the international marketplace.

Metaplanet, a prominent Japanese public company, has recently announced a partnership with Bitcoin Magazine. Together, they will be introducing Bitcoin Magazine Japan to the market.

Based on the successful debut of Bitcoin Magazine Switzerland, this step aims to expand our reach and impact to attract more Bitcoin fans worldwide, offering them essential information and useful resources.

Mike Germano, President of Bitcoin Magazine said,

“As the pioneering Bitcoin brand with a long-standing reputation, we’re thrilled to team up with Metaplanet for our entry into Japan. Our goal is not only to establish a strong presence but also to engage and add value to the local community by tailoring our offerings to better suit Japanese audiences.”

Collaboration with Metaplanet

Metaplanet, a pioneering company leading corporations and organizations towards the use of Bitcoin, shares Bitcoin Magazine’s goal of global hyperbitcoinization. Their commitment to excellence and adherence to a Bitcoin-exclusive approach resonates with Bitcoin Magazine’s principles.

Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, said,

“Metaplanet’s collaboration with Bitcoin Magazine marks an important milestone for us. Our goal is to stimulate interest in Bitcoin usage in Japan by producing engaging and distinctive content in partnership with them.”

Through various initiatives like collaborating with Japanese Bitcoin influencers, publishing special editions, and conducting live webinars, this partnership aims to boost Bitcoin adoption in Japan. Additionally, there are plans to expand print and live events to strengthen the community of Bitcoin-friendly businesses in Tokyo.

Gate.io Ends Services for Japanese Customers

Bitcoin Magazine and Metaplanet are striving to bolster their presence in Japan’s market. In contrast, other businesses adjust to Japan’s legal framework. Gate.io, however, has ceased its activities in Japan due to non-compliance with the country’s financial regulations. As of July 22, 2024, Gate.io halted new registrations for individual Japanese users and is aiding current users in transferring their transactions to cryptocurrency exchanges that are compliant with Japanese law.

Based on my extensive experience working in the cryptocurrency industry and dealing with various exchange platforms, I strongly believe that Gate.io’s decision to align with international legal standards is commendable. As someone who has seen the consequences of non-compliance with regulations, I understand the importance of upholding such standards.

In the midst of these advancements, Metaplanet continues to accumulate more Bitcoin. Seizing the recent dip in Bitcoin’s price, Metaplanet purchased an extra 42.47 Bitcoins for approximately 400 million yen (or 2.42 million US dollars). With this acquisition, Metaplanet now holds a total of 203,734 Bitcoins, valued at around 2.05 billion yen in terms of investment.
