Revenue reached \u00a5877 million, an 8% increase quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), while operating profit hit a record \u00a5593 million, up 11% QoQ. This marks the company\u2019s highest operating profit ever. Total assets surged to \u00a555.0 billion, up 81%, and net assets soared to \u00a550.4 billion, a 197% increase compared to the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

Despite a \u00a57.4 billion valuation loss due to the lower Bitcoin<\/a> price at the end of March, Metaplanet has rebounded strongly. As of May 12, the company holds \u00a513.5 billion in unrealized gains thanks to a recovery in Bitcoin\u2019s market value. The temporary dip impacted net income, which came in at \u00a55.0 billion for the quarter, but core operations remained strong.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Bitcoin holdings have skyrocketed to 6,796 BTC \u2014 a 3.9x increase year-to-date. In 2025 alone, Metaplanet<\/a> added over 5,000 BTC to its treasury, reinforcing its commitment to the Bitcoin Treasury Standard. Since adopting this strategy, the company has seen its BTC net asset value increase 103.1x and its market cap grow by 138.1x.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuided by this conviction, we pivoted in 2024 to become Japan\u2019s first dedicated Bitcoin Treasury Company,\u201d said Metaplanet\u2019s management in their Q1 2025 Earnings Presentation. \u201cIn Q1 2025, we launched\u2014and have already executed 87% of\u2014a two-year, \u00a5116 billion \u201cmoving-strike\u201d warrant program: the largest and lowest-cost equity financing of its kind ever placed in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metaplanet also reported a substantial rise in shareholders, growing from 10,854 in December 2023 to 63,654 by March 2025. The growth trend saw major jumps throughout the year, with 29,796 shareholders in June 2024,37,537 in September, 41,553 in October, and 47,292 in December 2024, before surging to its current peak.<\/p>\n

Member of Metaplanet\u2019s Board of Directors Tyler Evans<\/a> posted<\/a> on X, \u201cCongrats $MTPLF, Metaplanet<\/a>, Simon Gerovich<\/a>, Yoshimi Abe<\/a>, and Dylan LeClair<\/a> on a record quarter! 3.9x growth in BTC YTD is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
