3-7-2025 – Japanese investment firm Metaplanet delivered second-quarter earnings of 1.097 billion yen ($7.6 million), representing a 42.4% increase from the previous quarter, driven primarily by its Bitcoin income generation business.

The Tokyo-based company has accumulated 13,350 Bitcoin units as of June 30, 2025, through what it describes as a conservative accumulation strategy that generates operational revenue while building reserves. Unlike traditional spot purchases, Metaplanet’s approach involves acquiring Bitcoin at predetermined price levels while receiving compensation for the transactions.

This income generation model allows the firm to scale its Bitcoin holdings while maintaining cash flow from operations, reducing the risk profile typically associated with direct cryptocurrency investments. The strategy has proven effective during volatile market conditions, providing steady revenue streams alongside asset accumulation.

Metaplanet’s results highlight the growing sophistication of corporate Bitcoin adoption strategies, moving beyond simple treasury allocations toward revenue-generating models. The company’s approach contrasts with other institutional buyers who primarily hold Bitcoin as a store of value without generating active income from their positions.
