Bitcoin News Today: Metaplanet Posts ¥17.4B Profit in Q2 2025 as Bitcoin Strategy Pays Off

Bitcoin Treasury Company Metaplanet has posted its strongest quarterly performance ever, transforming a ¥5 billion loss in Q1 into a ¥17.4 billion profit in Q2 2025 [1]. This dramatic turnaround is attributed to its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, which has seen the company's Bitcoin reserves rise to 18,113 BTC, valued at $2.18 billion at current prices [4]. The recent acquisition of 518 BTC at an average price of $118,519 added $61.4 million to its Bitcoin holdings, further boosting its profit margin to 17.8% [2].

The company reported a 41% quarter-on-quarter increase in revenue, reaching ¥1.239 billion, with gross profit rising 38% to ¥816 million [6]. Metaplanet’s net assets surged by 299% to ¥201.0 billion, marking a historic milestone in its financial trajectory [2]. The CEO, Simon Gerovich, described the quarter as the most successful in the company’s history, emphasizing the effectiveness of its strategy to “prudently and rapidly accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible on behalf of our shareholders” [3].

Metaplanet is also expanding its capital structure, having announced plans to raise up to ¥555 billion (approximately $3.7 billion) through perpetual preferred shares [5]. These funds will support the company’s ongoing acquisition of Bitcoin and the issuance of Bitcoin-backed financial instruments. Additionally, the firm has already raised ¥5.4 billion through prior fundraising rounds, with the goal of acquiring 1% of the total Bitcoin supply [5].

This performance underscores the growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic corporate asset. By leveraging Bitcoin’s appreciation and continuous accumulation, Metaplanet has positioned itself as a key player in the cryptocurrency space. Its results reflect a broader trend in which corporations are redefining treasury management through digital asset integration [7].

The company’s approach mirrors that of MicroStrategy under Michael Saylor, but with a focus on rapid and disciplined Bitcoin accumulation. As Bitcoin continues to trade near $120,200—up more than 5% in the last seven days—the financial success of companies like Metaplanet may signal a shift in corporate investment strategies toward digital assets [4].
