• Phil Geiger has departed Metaplanet after serving as Head of Business Development.

• He is joining Verify Wealth as Chief Marketing Officer and will also serve as President of the Bitcoin Scholars Fund.

• The leadership move comes as Metaplanet continues to expand its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

A major leadership departure has happened in Metaplanet. Phil Geiger, who served as Head of Business Development at the leading Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, has announced his departure from the company as he takes on new roles across the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Geiger shared the update on LinkedIn, saying he had "wrapped up" his time with Metaplanet after getting a "front-row seat" to the inner workings of a public Bitcoin treasury company.

He is now taking on three separate roles, including Chief Marketing Officer at Bitcoin-focused financial planning firm Verify Wealth, President of the Bitcoin Scholars Fund, and an advisory role at Bitcoin transaction security company Branta.

"I'm grateful for the experience diving deep into Japan's bitcoin ecosystem and getting a front-row seat to the inner workings of a public bitcoin treasury company," Geiger said in his post.
