- Metaplanet establishes a US subsidiary focused solely on Bitcoin derivatives and income generation activities.Â
- Forward Industries announces a $4 billion equity offering to expand its Solana treasury holdings.
Metaplanet and Forward Industries have both announced new financial strategies involving cryptocurrency. Metaplanet plans to form a new United States subsidiary named Metaplanet Income Corp. This new entity will concentrate on Bitcoin-related income generation through derivatives trading. The company intends to keep these activities separate from its primary Bitcoin treasury holdings.
The corporate structure aims to enhance governance protocols and risk management frameworks. Metaplanet does not anticipate this move will substantially affect its fiscal year 2025 financial results.
Company President Simon Gerovich noted the Bitcoin income division has recorded growth for three successive quarters. He stated that recurring revenue improves financial stability and enables full allocation of available capital to Bitcoin.
Our Bitcoin income generation business has grown for 3 straight quarters. This recurring income adds resilience and supports further accumulation. This also gives us flexibility to service potential future financing to enhance our treasury operations. pic.twitter.com/bwj6iRnylg

Forward Industries revealed a different approach through a $4 billion at-the-market equity offering program. Capital raised from this offering could facilitate several corporate actions. Potential uses include purchasing Solana tokens, acquiring income-producing assets, funding operational expenses, or other general corporate purposes. Chairman Kyle Samani explained this program provides adaptable financing to expand the company’s existing 6.8 million SOL position.
The case for Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-backed preferreds is simple:
How much more capital is liquid for Japanese citizens than American ones?
Japan has 51.0% of household financial assets in currency and deposits vs U.S. 11.5%.
That means Japan’s household portfolios are ~4.4×… pic.twitter.com/K9TBDFWoUd

Samani further emphasized the company’s objective to strengthen its financial statement and achieve long-term expansion targets. In a recent interview, he expressed ambition for Forward Industries to become the leading digital asset treasury globally. These corporate developments occur alongside increasing institutional engagement with Bitcoin and Solana.
