Metaplanet, a Japanese investment firm, has finalized a deal with BTC Media to launch Bitcoin Magazine in Japan. Announced on Monday, this partnership is set to provide high-quality, localized content for Japan’s growing Bitcoin community.
The magazine will feature interviews with key Japanese Bitcoin figures, special edition publications, and online sessions. The agreement was first introduced in July at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, where Donald Trump gave a keynote speech.
Now, Metaplanet is ready to bring Bitcoin Magazine Japan to the public in the first quarter of 2025. The company has already started hiring for roles in editorial, content creation, business management, and social media.
Bitcoin Magazine, founded in 2012 by Vitalik Buterin and others, was one of the first publications focused on Bitcoin. Now operated by BTC Media, it recently launched Bitcoin Magazine Pro, offering professional research and market analysis for Bitcoin and traditional finance.
In addition to the launch, Metaplanet is adjusting its corporate strategy to include Bitcoin as a key reserve asset. The move aims to tackle Japan’s economic challenges, including yen volatility and government debt. As of November 25, Metaplanet holds 1,142 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $111.7 million.
Bitcoin Magazine Japan is set to become a trusted source for Bitcoin news, analysis, and education in Japan, as the country’s role in global finance continues to grow.
