The Japanese management company Metaplanet, one of the largest holders of Bitcoin, recorded a loss of $680 million due to the fall in the value of the first cryptocurrency.
The loss from storing and managing bitcoins is estimated at $632 million, the net loss at $491 million. Metaplanet stated that the revaluation of the market value of BTC does not affect the company’s real cash flows and its operating activities. According to Metaplanet’s financial statements, its revenue last year was 8.905 billion Japanese yen (about $58 million), and its operating profit was $40 million.

Revenue from the company’s Bitcoin reserve (Bitcoin Income Generation) is estimated at $55 million, $15 million more than expected. Over the year, the company increased its bitcoin reserves. At the end of 2024, the company’s wallets contained 1,762 BTC, and by the end of 2025 – 35,102 BTC. BTC Yield per diluted share (BTCYield) for the year was 568% – this metric reflects the growth in the number of bitcoins per share of the company, taking into account potential dilution of capital.
In 2026, Metaplanet expects to receive revenue of $103 million and operating profit of approximately $73 million. The company, no matter what, expects to achieve this mainly due to its supply of bitcoins, which it promises to replenish throughout the year. But Metaplanet did not provide a forecast for net profit for 2026. The company explained this by the high volatility and difficulty of predicting the price of Bitcoin.
In mid-2025, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said that his company was seeking to accumulate as many bitcoins as possible in order to then use these funds to buy other companies that generate profits.
