Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹69,71,425 ($74,220.00), up 0.1% since this brief published.

Why it matters

The launch expands The Bitcoin Conference series into Japan and gives eligible Metaplanet shareholders direct access to the event. It also positions the companies to engage Japanese participants around Bitcoin at a scheduled, two-day forum.

Key takeaways
  • Bitcoin Japan is scheduled for February 23–24, 2028, at the Tokyo International Forum.
  • Metaplanet and BTC Inc., a Nakamoto subsidiary, are collaborating on the event.
  • Japan will become the series’ fourth international market.
  • Eligible shareholders with at least 100 Metaplanet shares can receive free passes.

Metaplanet Inc. and BTC Inc. have announced Bitcoin Japan, a new event in The Bitcoin Conference series. The two-day gathering is scheduled for February 23–24, 2028, at the Tokyo International Forum in Tokyo, according to CoinEdition and Blockonomi.

The companies’ announcement describes Bitcoin Japan as the latest addition to the conference series. CoinEdition notes that BTC Inc. is a subsidiary of Nakamoto Inc., which trades under the ticker NAKA, while Metaplanet is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker 3350.

Both outlets corroborate the core arrangements, although they emphasize different details. CoinEdition reports that passes went on sale in the announcement, whereas Blockonomi focuses on access for Metaplanet investors: eligible shareholders with 100 or more shares will receive free passes. Blockonomi also says Japan becomes the fourth international market covered by The Bitcoin Conference series.

The announcement creates a Japan-based gathering for The Bitcoin Conference series, following its established events. The launch involves Metaplanet, a listed Japanese company, and BTC Inc., connecting the event to both a Tokyo-listed business and Nakamoto’s Nasdaq-listed corporate structure. No agenda, speakers or additional ticket details were supplied in the available coverage.

Live market conditions are subdued: Bitcoin is priced at $74,129, up 0.05% over 24 hours but down 3.64% over seven days. Its market capitalization stands at $1.49 trillion, while the total crypto market capitalization is $2.54 trillion and is described as flat. The Fear & Greed Index reads 32, placing the market in Fear. The next confirmed milestones for the development are the start of pass sales and the scheduled February 2028 gathering; the supplied reports do not provide further programming or participation details.
