The Japanese company's operating results showed explosive growth: revenue increased by 738% to ¥8.9 billion ($57.9 million), while net profit increased by 1,694% to ¥6.3 billion ($40.9 million).
The main driver of the revenue growth was gains from Bitcoin options trading, according to the financial report.
The company, which operates as a "Bitcoin treasury" (holding cryptocurrency as a long-term asset), would like to actively trade Bitcoin derivatives. In 2026, Metaplanet expects to generate $103 million in revenue and approximately $73 million in operating profit.
By the beginning of 2026, the company's portfolio contained 35,102 BTC—more than 19 times higher than the previous year (1,762 BTC). Metaplanet holds the fourth spot among publicly traded companies in terms of cryptocurrency reserves. Metaplanet's total Bitcoin investments have reached 527.2 billion yen ($3.43 billion).
The leading publicly traded company by Bitcoin holdings is the American company Strategy. It currently holds 714,644 BTC, with reserves estimated at $49 billion.
In mid-2025, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that his company was seeking to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible in order to use the funds to buy other profit-generating companies.
Earlier, the American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase reported a net loss of $667 million for the final quarter of last year. Amid a decline in the cryptocurrency market, the losses interrupted an eight-quarter streak of profitable reporting periods; the company last recorded a loss in the third quarter of 2023.
