The son of a chief master sergeant learned early what it means to live in constant movement – base after base, one unfamiliar town after another.

To him, only one thing always remained the same: the endless sky above.

And while other kids collected baseball cards, he collected the thunder of jets during training runs.

But he didn’t only watch them. He studied them. He dreamed of flying one someday.

Cat pilot

Years later, MIT accepted him. He graduated with highest honors, and his dream of becoming a pilot was finally within reach.

But then… a medical exam grounded him.

“Benign heart murmur,” the doctor said. “Too risky to fly.”

Cat doctor

Two decades of dreaming, ended by an irregular heartbeat. He could’ve felt defeated and settled for something smaller, safer.

But he didn’t. He took all his ambition and aimed it somewhere else – at computers, data, and building something no one else had thought of yet.

He started a company. Made millions. Lost millions. Made millions again. And along the way, he found Bitcoin.

That boy was Michael Saylor.

And I find such stories fascinating.

Because imagine if he’d never been diagnosed – Saylor might’ve spent his life as a pilot. Strategy might’ve never existed. Bitcoin treasury strategies might’ve never become a thing.

And companies like Metaplanet wouldn’t be saying they plan to buy 210K BTC by the end of 2027.

But it did happen. And Metaplanet did say that.

This company – aka “the Japanese Strategy” – currently holds 15,555 BTC after adding another 2,505 just this Monday.

On that note, Metaplanet’s CEO, Simon Gerovich, recently told the Financial Times what Bitcoin means to them and how they plan to run with it.

Here’s some of what he said (and why you should pay attention):

1/ Bitcoin = digital gold rush

Gerovich compared Bitcoin today to the 1800s gold rush, when prospectors raced to claim the best gold before others could.

Like them, today’s corporations are scrambling to buy Bitcoin while it’s still relatively scarce and undervalued compared to its long-term potential.

Translation: Bitcoin has way more room to grow.

2/ Bitcoin = collateral

Gerovich thinks banks will eventually treat Bitcoin like they treat government bonds or big-name stocks – a real, mainstream financial asset.

Something you can deposit with a bank and borrow cash against it. That way, you keep your Bitcoin and get liquidity to invest elsewhere.

If this vision comes true, Bitcoin will become a productive part of the global economy – and demand (and price) will only go higher.

Pepe manifesting

All of this adds up to one thing: Bitcoin becoming a normal, accepted part of the global financial system.

And maybe that’s the irony – the boy who once dreamed of flying helped Bitcoin find its wings…

(… And it’s beautiful 🥹)

Metaplanet’s recent Bitcoin purchases exceeded 2024 totals in under two months https://earlybirdsinvest.com/metaplanets-recent-bitcoin-purchases-exceeded-2024-totals-in-under-two-months/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/metaplanets-recent-bitcoin-purchases-exceeded-2024-totals-in-under-two-months/#respond Mon, 14 Apr 2025 12:15:18 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/metaplanets-recent-bitcoin-purchases-exceeded-2024-totals-in-under-two-months/

Metaplanet has stepped up its Bitcoin acquisition strategy this year, purchasing more BTC in the last six weeks than it did throughout 2024.

Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that the firm, under the leadership of Simon Gerovich, acquired 2,290 BTC in eight transactions between March 3 and April 14. This aggressive buying streak averages around 51 BTC per day.

To put the fast-paced accumulation in context, Metaplanet bought 1,762 BTC in 2024, spending roughly $136 million.

That figure has already been eclipsed in 2025, with more aggressive purchases and higher spending reflecting a clear long-term strategy for the top crypto.

During the last six weeks, the largest single buy occurred on April 1, with the company scooping up 696 BTC. Conversely, the smallest transactions were 150 BTC each, completed on March 18 and 24.

Meanwhile, the most recent acquisition came on April 14, when Metaplanet secured 319 BTC for approximately ¥3.78 billion (around $26.3 million) at an average price of ¥11.85 million ($82,549) per coin.

However, the Gerovich-led firm has no intention of slowing down. Metaplanet is targeting a reserve of 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, with a longer-term goal of holding 21,000 BTC by 2026.

Metaplanet currently holds 4,525 BTC, worth roughly $386.3 million.

Eric Trump joins Bitcoin firm Metaplanet’s advisory board, stock surges 17% https://earlybirdsinvest.com/eric-trump-joins-bitcoin-firm-metaplanets-advisory-board-stock-surges-17/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/eric-trump-joins-bitcoin-firm-metaplanets-advisory-board-stock-surges-17/#respond Fri, 21 Mar 2025 11:01:54 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/eric-trump-joins-bitcoin-firm-metaplanets-advisory-board-stock-surges-17/

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 announced Trump’s appointment on March 21, confirming that he will join as the first official member of the new advisory board. The board aims to unite influential voices committed to advancing financial innovation and Bitcoin adoption.

The company stated that this move reflects its dedication to building a top-tier advisory team. Trump brings experience across multiple industries and has become increasingly vocal about Bitcoin and digital assets.

Metaplanet described him as a strong advocate for Bitcoin adoption and a valuable addition to its strategic direction. It added:

“Eric 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.”

Simon Gerovich, Metaplanet’s Director, expressed optimism about the appointment. He noted that Trump’s global business insight and engagement with the Bitcoin community will help accelerate the company’s vision of becoming a world-leading BTC treasury firm.

According to Google Finance, the news sparked investor interest, pushing Metaplanet’s stock up by over 17% to ¥4,730.

Strategic appointment

Eric Trump’s appointment appears to signal a deliberate step in Metaplanet’s 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, Trump’s son’s presence on Metaplanet’s board could help boost the firm’s appeal among American investors, especially as it positions itself as an emerging alternative to Michael Saylor’s 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 father’s pro-crypto policy and expressed support for both Bitcoin and Ethereum on social platform X.
