Bitcoin income strategy delivers exponential growth
The Bitcoin Income Generation segment, designed to monetize Bitcoin’s implied volatility through options while accumulating BTC long term, has quickly become the backbone of Metaplanet’s financial model. Q3 revenue jumped 115.7% from Q2’s JPY 1.13 billion, far exceeding expectations set earlier in the year.
Metaplanet’s treasury operations operate under a dual structure: one capital bucket dedicated to unencumbered, cold-stored long-term Bitcoin holdings, and another designed for generating recurring revenue via options strategies. As of September 30, the company held 30,823 BTC in long-term reserves, while JPY 20.4 billion in allocated capital continues to fund income generation activities under strict risk controls.
Management emphasized that this framework not only secures stable operating revenue but also strengthens its positioning as a Bitcoin-native treasury. Expansion of internal talent and external partnerships has already begun to scale the platform further.
Full-year forecast doubled
Reflecting the outsized growth, Metaplanet’s board approved a major revision to its FY2025 forecast. Consolidated revenue is now projected at JPY 6.8 billion, up 100% from the original JPY 3.4 billion outlook. Operating profit is forecast at JPY 4.7 billion, up 88% from prior guidance of JPY 2.5 billion.
The company attributed the revision to surging revenue and profitability from its Bitcoin Income Generation segment, which alone is now expected to deliver JPY 6.3 billion in revenue and JPY 6.2 billion in operating profit.
Meanwhile, the organization recently strengthened its Bitcoin treasury strategy with the acquisition of an additional 103 BTC, valued at ¥1.736 billion. The purchase was made at an average price of ¥16.85 million per Bitcoin, raising the company’s total holdings to 18,991 BTC.
