Metaplanet and BTC Inc. Announce Launch of Bitcoin Japan

Metaplanet Inc. (3350) and BTC Inc., a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc. (NAKA), today announced the launch of Bitcoin Japan, the newest event in The Bitcoin Conference series. Bitcoin Japan will take place at the Tokyo International Forum on February 23rd and 24th, 2028, and passes go on sale today.

Hosted by Metaplanet and produced alongside BTC Inc., Bitcoin Japan will be the country’s first flagship Bitcoin conference. Programming, delivered in Japanese and English, will cover:

• Corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy
  
  
• Custody and institutional infrastructure
  
  
• Market structure
  
  
• Japan’s evolving regulatory framework
  
  
• Bitcoin’s role in the Japanese economy
  
  

The speaker lineup, which will be announced in 2027, will feature leaders from Japanese and global companies, financial institutions, policymakers and the Bitcoin developer community.

“Japan is becoming one of Bitcoin’s global hubs, and it’s time for the world to see it. By combining Metaplanet’s deep network of relationships across Japan’s capital markets with BTC Inc.’s years of experience running Bitcoin’s largest conferences, we can give Japan a conference with local roots and global reach,” said Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet. “We can’t wait to bring the global Bitcoin community to Tokyo.”

“Metaplanet has helped make Japan one of the most important markets for Bitcoin adoption, and it’s time a Bitcoin event of global scale came to Tokyo,” said Brandon Green, CEO of BTC Inc. “We’re bringing the full weight of The Bitcoin Conference behind Metaplanet to make Bitcoin Japan a fixture on the global calendar.”

For Metaplanet, Bitcoin Japan builds on its position at the center of Japan’s Bitcoin ecosystem. It gives the company an annual platform to convene that ecosystem in Tokyo and to engage directly with its growing shareholder base. As a shareholder benefit, Metaplanet will offer complimentary passes to eligible shareholders of record holding 100 or more. Details will be available on Metaplanet’s investor relations site.

For Nakamoto, Bitcoin Japan extends The Bitcoin Conference into a major new market and opens Japan to BTC Inc.’s media and corporate platforms, including Bitcoin Magazine and Bitcoin for Corporations. Japan becomes the fourth international market for the series, following Amsterdam, Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong. Across the series, The Bitcoin Conference welcomed more than 67,000 attendees in 2025.
