Metaplanet’s Operating Profit Soars 1,700% with Bitcoin Income Success
Metaplanet, Japan’s largest bitcoin treasury company, has reported a staggering increase in its operating profit for 2025. The firm’s revenue from bitcoin and options trading has significantly boosted its financial outlook.
Record Operating Profit and Revenue Growth
In a remarkable fiscal year, Metaplanet (3350) projected an 81% increase in operating profit. The surge is largely attributed to an impressive rise in premiums from writing options, which influenced a 1,700% increase in bitcoin income success.
- Operating Profit (Last Year): 6.29 billion yen ($40.8 million)
- Revenue Increase: 738% to 8.9 billion yen
- Options Premiums: Rose to 7.98 billion yen from 691 million yen in 2024
Bitcoin Holdings and Market Challenges
Despite these successes, Metaplanet faced challenges due to volatile bitcoin prices. The cryptocurrency’s price fell from a peak of nearly $125,000 to under $90,000, leading to a substantial non-cash valuation loss of 102.2 billion yen.
- Current Bitcoin Holdings: 35,102 BTC
- Unrealized Losses: Approximately $1.2 billion
- Bitcoin Price: Currently at $68,550
Future Projections
Looking ahead, Metaplanet anticipates a substantial revenue increase in 2026. The company expects to generate almost all revenue from its bitcoin holdings.
