Eric Trump Plans September Japan Visit for Cryptocurrency Expansion

Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, is set to visit Tokyo in early September to promote cryptocurrency development, marking the Trump family’s expanding involvement in the sector. He will attend a shareholder meeting of Metaplanet Inc., a Japanese Bitcoin treasury firm that pivoted from hotel operations to Bitcoin asset management and has amassed substantial holdings, where he serves as a strategic adviser. This visit follows his planned attendance at the Bitcoin Asia Conference in Hong Kong and aligns with broader Trump family initiatives, including cryptocurrency acquisitions by Trump Media & Technology Group and a mining company backed by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Japan’s established regulatory framework and interest in digital assets make it a strategic market for the Trump family’s crypto ambitions. The shareholder meeting will discuss new financing strategies, with Eric Trump playing a pivotal role amid recent fluctuations in Metaplanet’s stock value. This move is seen as an effort to deepen influence in the growing Asian cryptocurrency market and advance digital asset adoption globally.
