Metaplanet (3350) is now the fourth largest Bitcoin treasury company, having acquired 5,288 BTC for $615.67 million at an average price of $116,870 per bitcoin. This acquisition brings its Bitcoin yield for 2025 to 497.1%, according to CEO Simon Gerovich.
In total, Metaplanet holds 30,823 BTC, accumulated for $3.33 billion at an average price of $107,912 per bitcoin.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Income Generation segment recorded quarterly revenue of $16.16 million (¥2.438 billion), representing growth of 115.7% compared to Q2 2025, according to Gerovich.
Based on Q3 performance, the company has revised its FY2025 consolidated guidance as follows:
- Revenue: $46.26M (¥6,800M), previous: $23.13M (¥3,400M)
- Operating profit: $31.97M (¥4,700M), previous: $17.01M (¥2,500M)
This revision reflects a 100% increase in revenue and an 88% increase in operating profit compared to the prior forecast.
According to Gerovich, "Q3 results demonstrate operational scalability and strengthen the financial foundation for our planned Metaplanet preferred share issuance, which supports our broader Bitcoin Treasury strategy."
Metaplanet shares dropped 10% to 516 yen during Wednesday’s trading session.
