Metaplanet will give free conference passes to shareholders who own at least 100 shares, the company announced alongside the launch of Bitcoin Japan, a two-day Bitcoin conference scheduled for February 2028.
The event will take place at the Tokyo International Forum on February 23 and 24, 2028, and will be the newest stop in The Bitcoin Conference series.
Shareholder Perk Tied to the Event
Metaplanet said the free passes will go to eligible shareholders of record who hold 100 or more shares. Details will be posted on the company’s investor relations website.
The company described the conference as an annual platform to bring Japan’s Bitcoin community together in Tokyo and as a way to engage directly with its growing shareholder base.
Metaplanet noted that the shareholder benefit could still change. Eligibility rules, the record date and the number of passes may be changed, suspended or not carried out, including because of laws or later company decisions.
Metaplanet is Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. As of November 6, 2026, it was also the second-largest Bitcoin holder among publicly listed companies worldwide. The company operates under what it calls a Bitcoin Standard and measures its results by BTC Yield, which tracks the growth of Bitcoin per share.
Conference Details and Partners
Metaplanet is hosting the conference with BTC Inc., a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc. BTC Inc. runs The Bitcoin Conference, Bitcoin Magazine and Bitcoin for Corporations.
Bitcoin Japan is billed as the country’s first flagship Bitcoin conference. Sessions will be held in both Japanese and English. Topics will include corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy, custody and institutional infrastructure, and market structure. The program will also cover Japan’s changing regulatory framework and Bitcoin’s role in the Japanese economy.
The speaker lineup will be announced in 2027. Organizers said it will include leaders from Japanese and global companies, financial institutions, policymakers and Bitcoin developers.
“Japan is becoming one of Bitcoin’s global hubs, and it’s time for the world to see it,” said Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet. He added that the company “can’t wait to bring the global Bitcoin community to Tokyo.”
Brandon Green, CEO of BTC Inc., said Metaplanet has helped make Japan one of the most important markets for Bitcoin adoption. “We’re bringing the full weight of The Bitcoin Conference behind Metaplanet to make Bitcoin Japan a fixture on the global calendar,” he said.
Japan will be the fourth international market for the series, after Amsterdam, Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong. The Bitcoin Conference welcomed more than 67,000 attendees across its events in 2025.
For Nakamoto, the event opens Japan to BTC Inc.’s media and corporate platforms. Nakamoto acquired BTC Inc. in February 2026.
Metaplanet’s Broader Expansion
Metaplanet is also growing through Project NOVA, which aims to turn it into a global Bitcoin-native financial platform. That effort includes its securities arm, Metaplanet Securities, and Superplanet, a U.S. platform now being launched.
The company also runs Bitcoin Japan Inc., the media and events subsidiary behind Bitcoin Magazine Japan. Metaplanet also operates a hotel in Tokyo.
Passes for Bitcoin Japan went on sale on the day of the announcement. They are available through the event’s website at japan.b.tc.
