🇯🇵 Metaplanet has suffered a heavy blow: 'Japan MicroStrategy' recorded a book loss of 680 million USD
Japanese investment company Metaplanet released its preliminary report for the fiscal year 2025. The shocking core figure is: the company has encountered an unrealized impairment loss of approximately 680 million USD (104 billion to 107 billion yen) due to Bitcoin investments.
Report highlights:
Bitcoin impairment: approximately 680 million USD non-cash accounting loss (impairment loss), mainly attributed to the fluctuation of Bitcoin prices at the end of 2025. Net loss: The total net loss reported amounts to 491 million USD. Business highlights: Despite the book loss, the company's core business performed strongly, with revenue increasing to 5.8 million USD (890 million yen) and operating profit reaching approximately 40 million USD, benefiting from its Bitcoin revenue-generating business. Position: As of the end of the fiscal year, Metaplanet holds a total of 35,102 BTC.
Market reaction:
After the financial report was released, the company's stock listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (3350.T) fell by about 7%. Investors are assessing the risks brought by its aggressive Bitcoin allocation strategy, although management emphasizes that these losses are on an accounting level and do not affect the company's cash flow or core operations.
Future outlook:
Metaplanet is optimistic about the fiscal year 2026, expecting revenue to grow to over 103 million USD. The complete financial report is expected to be officially announced on February 16, 2026.
