On February 16, 2026, Metaplanet reported a $619 million net loss for FY2025, swinging from a $28.9 million profit in 2024, primarily due to a $665.8 million valuation loss on its Bitcoin holdings,  The Block. Despite the non-cash expense, the Tokyo-listed firm emphasised its robust balance sheet, with an 90.7% equity ratio and coverage for an 86% BTC price decline, in the earnings presentation. Metaplanet closed the year with 35,102 BTC, up 1,892% from 1,762 BTC in 2024, ranking fourth among public corporate holders behind MicroStrategy (714,644 BTC), according to The Block’s dashboard.

Explosive Bitcoin Accumulation and Revenue Growth

Metaplanet surpassed its 30,000 BTC target, holding 0.16% of Bitcoin’s total supply, with a long-term goal of 210,000 BTC (1%). Revenue soared 738% to $58 million, driven by Bitcoin-related options generating $55.2 million, mainly from option premiums. Operating profit jumped 1,695% to $41 million. The firm raised $3.37 billion in total, including $138 million from Class B preferred shares in December, to fund aggressive BTC purchases.

Market Reaction and Broader Implications

Metaplanet forecasts 79.7% revenue growth to $104 million in 2026, excluding. This positions it as a Bitcoin proxy, but leverage risks remain.

Outlook for Bitcoin Treasury Firms

Metaplanet’s 35,102 BTC and $3.1B valuation underscore institutional conviction, with projections for $150,000 BTC by 2026 if adoption grows,  CoinShares. Investors should track BTC support at $112,000 and Metaplanet’s filings on Nasdaq and TradingView. Diversify into USDC or ETH ($4,070) to hedge volatility. Follow @TheBlock__ on X for updates.
