Eric Trump joins Metaplanet’s strategic board of advisers

Bitcoin-stacking firm Metaplanet has appointed US President Donald Trump’s son Eric to its newly established strategic board of advisers to further Metaplanet’s mission to become a “global leader in the Bitcoin economy.”

”His business acumen, love of the Bitcoin community and global hospitality perspective will be invaluable in accelerating Metaplanet’s vision of becoming one of the world’s leading Bitcoin Treasury Companies,” Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said in a March 21 announcement on X.

”As a globally recognized business leader and entrepreneur, 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,” Metaplanet added.

The move is part of Metaplanet’s plan to establish a board of influential voices, speakers and thought leaders around the world who are committed to furthering Bitcoin adoption.
