Metaplanet Finalizes Exclusive License to Bring Bitcoin Magazine to Japan
Metaplanet plans to launch the magazine in early 2025 and is hiring for key editorial and business roles.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet announced Monday that it finalized an exclusive agreement with BTC Media to launch Bitcoin Magazine in Japan.
The company first agreed to this deal with a memorandum of understanding in July. That agreement was made public at the famous Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, where Donald Trump gave a keynote speech on July 27.
This partnership aims to provide high-quality, localized content for Japan’s Bitcoin community. Specifically, it will include interviews with prominent Japanese Bitcoin figures. Special edition publications and interactive online sessions are also planned.
“As Japan’s influence in global finance grows, Bitcoin Magazine Japan will serve as the country’s trusted source for news, analysis, and educational content about Bitcoin,” Metaplanet said.

Further, Metaplanet announced its readiness to launch the magazine in the first quarter of 2025. It has begun hiring for roles in editorial, content creation, business management and social media.
Bitcoin Magazine was one of the first publishers to focus exclusively on Bitcoin and digital currency news. It was founded in 2012 by Vitalik Buterin, Mihai Alisie, and others. The magazine is now operated by BTC Media, based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Earlier this year, the magazine launched Bitcoin Magazine Pro. It offers institutional-grade research and market analysis for Bitcoin and traditional finance. The platform provides subscribers with real-time data, advanced charting tools, and additional resources for Bitcoin investment.
Metaplanet Embraces Bitcoin Strategy to Tackle Japan’s Economic Challenges
Meanwhile, Metaplanet recently revised its corporate strategy to include Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset, drawing inspiration from companies like MicroStrategy. This decision leverages Bitcoin’s unique traits, such as its limited supply and independence from monetary policy, to address Japan’s economic challenges, including yen volatility and significant government debt.
Further, the company aims to enhance shareholder value and strengthen its long-term investment strategy. As of Nov. 25, the company holds 1,142 Bitcoin valued at about $111.7m in the current market.
