Today our Board approved the establishment of two new wholly owned subsidiaries, Metaplanet Ventures and Metaplanet Asset Management. Metaplanet Ventures is our commitment to Japan's Bitcoin ecosystem. We'll be investing ¥4 billion over the next few years into companies building Bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan. Lending, payments, custody, stablecoins, derivatives, compliance. We're also launching an incubator for early stage Japanese founders and a grants program for open source Bitcoin developers, educators, and researchers. Japan has built the best regulatory framework in the world for digital assets. Now it needs the companies, the builders, and the infrastructure to match. We want to help make that happen. Metaplanet Asset Management, based in Miami, will be our digital credit and Bitcoin capital markets platform, bridging Asian and Western capital markets across yield, equity, credit, and volatility strategies. More to come as we launch specific products. Our first investment through Metaplanet Ventures: up to ¥400 million into JPYC, Japan's first licensed yen stablecoin. Every Bitcoin transaction has two sides. Bitcoin and a currency. As this market goes institutional, that currency side goes digital. JPYC is building that rail in Japan and we want to be part of it.
