Metaplanet announces financial results, significantly increasing profits based on the Bitcoin treasury business.
Metaplanet Inc. (TSE Standard: 3350) announced today that its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2025 clearly reflect the results of its financial strategy as a Bitcoin treasury company.
Sales increased by 41% year-on-year to approximately 1.2 billion yen, and operating profit recorded a 38% increase to about 800 million yen. In the sales composition for the second quarter, the Bitcoin income business (put option selling strategy) accounted for 1.904 billion yen (91.2%), significantly surpassing the hotel and media business at 212 million yen (8.8%), establishing the Bitcoin business as the company's mainstay.
Metaplanet aims to become a leading Bitcoin treasury company in Asia, as companies represented by MicroStrategy in the United States begin to adopt the "Bitcoin Standard (financial strategy)" by holding Bitcoin as part of their assets or as a primary reserve asset after April 2024.
Rapid expansion of Bitcoin holdings
As of the end of June 2025, the Bitcoin holding balance was 13,350 BTC, an increase of 7.5 times from 1,761.98 BTC at the end of the previous year. It has now further expanded to 18,113 BTC (as of August). According to financial statements, this holding amount has reached the number one position in Asia (fourth in the world).
Simon Gerovich, the representative director and president, stated that "representing all shareholders, accumulating as many bitcoins as possible in a careful and swift manner is the most rational means to contribute to the enhancement of corporate value in the medium to long term."
This achievement demonstrates that Metaplanet has successfully implemented its strategy as a Bitcoin treasury company, generating significant profits during the upward phase of the cryptocurrency market. On the other hand, the revenue structure is heavily dependent on fluctuations in Bitcoin prices, drawing attention to the impact of future market trends on performance.
